Show All 18 Reviews- Edited 5 months agoI purchased this on cassette first. Amazing sound.
Vinyl is impressive as well.
If you enjoy High on Fire this is a bit more melodic.
Enjoy. 
Excellent pressing. Not a click or pop to be found. A smoke thick sounding record! Man, the bass on this record is amazing. An excellent example of how good vinyl can sound.
Sounds great and packaging is also great.
Highly recommend to anyone who's into stoner rock/metal- I have this vinyl but without disc 2. I have twice the disc 1. Has anyone twice the disc 2? To make an exchange
- Excellent sound and beautiful cover artwork. The music itself is mesmerizing and unique
I have two copies of this now. The first I purchased online upon it's release on 4.20.18 from Third Man Records. Even though it's been well-played, it came out of the sleeves with some pops and the occasional crackle. As such I bought a second copy which now has a hype sticker on the shrink-wrap over the front cover(The first release didn't). This second copy is super clean without pops or any crackle. Fantastic listening. Very happy with this new copy also purchased online from Third Man.- This sounds fantastic to my ears. It sounds friggin' heavy but also detailed and musical.
- Not a fan of Third Man pressings. Just not very good, simple as that.
Edited 2 years agoI'm really disappointed by the sound of this album and other Third Man pressings by artists in this genre (ie: Boris). When I compare Sleep's material that was pressed by Southern Lord Records to this release, I prefer the sound of the Southern Lord pressings so much more. I think there is more definition in all of the frequencies on the Southern Lord releases (ie: 'The Clarity' and 'Dopesmoker' reissue). This album just sounds really muddy on my stereo system and I always have to attenuate the bass in order to listen to it.- My copy (black vinyl) is great but the mix is too bassy for my taste, would like more guitars and less bass. The music is beautiful anyways.
