Sleep's Holy Mountain vs. Dopesmoker
 

So, the greatest album Sabbath never recorded, or an alleged stoner drone masterpiece?

**** you, Machine. Post your reasons or suck a dick.

**** you Batty I'll give an explanation if I feel like it. Seriously though Dopesmoker is an hour of pure stoner metal riffs, it's legendary.

Holy Mountain is pretty great as well I must admit.

I dig Dopesmoker when I'm in the right mood, but the volume has to be past 11 for it to sound like anything but droning. Holy Mountain just sounds like the seventies times ten.

I don't understand why drones are a bad thing. Holy Mountain is great as well, but the tone on Dopesmoker is too badass to ignore. That **** gets my vote.

what else do you need?

Dopesmoker is a god damn journey. havent heard Holy Mountain in a long time but i remember it not sticking with me much

I'm not against droning, but it's not something I'm inclined to listen to on a regular basis, whereas the more traditional doom riffs of Holy Mountain are just ear crack. The vocals are also superior.

Dopesmoker by a huge margin.

The riffs sound like watered-down Pentagram. Holy Mountain’s vocals rule though.
