I searched Youtube for a random Tuvan throat singing album and it destroys this Sleep album. |

Just because Huun-Huur Tu is a 10/10 artist doesn't mean that Sleep isn't.
There's an objectively massive amount of atmosphere on this record too, you're either too high or not high enough if you think otherwise. Maybe you just have garbage audio.

I entirely disagree. You don't have to enjoy atmosphere to recognize it and this album's got it out the ass. Inarguable tbh, it's mostly because of the heavy focus on timbre and cadence making it hypnotic.

But even if it was a qantifiable thing, it would still at the very least be entirely subjective whether it's an engrossing atmosphere or not. |

So you don't think a pop album can have some indescribable "feel" to it that somehow elevates it for you?
Absolutely all artforms have this quality to me, but only in music and movies do I call it atmosphere. To me, it's not merely a question of whether an album places extra much emphasis on textures and timbre. |

Kind of like how The Beatles utilize guitars but Sgt. Pepper's isn't a guitar record. Atmospheric music is driven almost entirely by its atmosphere or how it can consume yours.
Also I think you need better speakers/headphones. I could see not finding this engrossing if you listened to it on tinny earbuds.
