Cisneros is credited with playing the water pipe in the liner notes. <3

Does anyone know when this will be available in stores as a physical release?
― Duke, Sunday, 22 April 2018 18:40 (six years ago) link
It was supposed to arrive in stores on the day of release, or so I was told.
So is this album legit good, or good in a "it's cool that it doesn't suck," MBV 2013 kinda way?
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 22 April 2018 19:13 (six years ago) link
It's good, they still got the riffs
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 22 April 2018 19:15 (six years ago) link
I love the way this is recorded and mixed -- I agree it's their best-sounding album
― Brad C., Sunday, 22 April 2018 20:10 (six years ago) link
feels like they bridged the gap between Holy MOuntain and Dopesmoker a bit. there's nothing as drawn out as the latter obv, but they haven't really returned to their Sab-worship of HM outright either.
I'm cool w/ that

it's not as good as dopesmoker but what is

I’m in on this being good. Good good not consolation good.

The new album was released here yesterday. Amazing. Tempted on first listens to call it their best. So well recorded. Listening to Al Cisneros' bass is such a joy.

I've just returned from a gig, still buzzing! Life altering

Ha! I saw them last night. Was perfect

I just love hearing Pike play doom again, like he's digging around in the guts of the universe to tear out those chords

Marihuanaut's Theme is killer
― Duke, Sunday, 27 May 2018 20:04 (six years ago) link
And its lyrics are hilarious, but somehow just right
Where to start with the new stuff?
― calstars, Sunday, 27 May 2018 20:10 (six years ago) link
the first track on the new album?
― kurt schwitterz, Sunday, 27 May 2018 20:13 (six years ago) link
well, 2nd. the first track is an all-too-typical-for-the-genre pointless intro
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 27 May 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
True! Still. Just give the new album a listen.

What’s diSalvo’s take?

So, gonna finally see these dudes. They're doing a three night stand at the end of the year here in SF; going to the first night as it's 1) cheaper and 2) Grayceon's the opener, and I seem to remember liking a few things by them.

Great American

Amazing gig.
― Duke, Friday, 21 September 2018 20:34 (five years ago) link
this looks tempting
I hate New Year's celebrations as a general rule but this seems like an actually fun thing to do, more fun than staying home anyway

Have never seen Sleep. Saw Om at some point (supporting Sunn O))) [how many brackets?]), who were magnificent. Hopefully, Sleep will tour the UK again at some point.

xpost Yeah really enjoyed Om when I finally saw them about a decade back. Never have seen High on Fire. But at least there's this!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 September 2018 20:51 (five years ago) link
Have seen both Om (twice - including the show Ned was at iirc) and High On Fire - the former more hypnotic and the latter more pummeling/shredding but both were good. Sleep is obviously somewhere in the middle

(altho I have never seen Sleep tbc)

You'll love it. They started with Marihuanaut's Theme and bludgeoned us into a state of bliss.
― Duke, Friday, 21 September 2018 20:56 (five years ago) link
are there any other 2018 shows? looks like they toured earlier in the year
― sleeve, Friday, 21 September 2018 21:04 (five years ago) link
Yeah looks like they're doing a December US tour in general:

Eh? I paid $50 for mine, you sure you weren't looking at the three day pass?

sigh yeah a tour of the south :(
― sleeve, Friday, 21 September 2018 21:31 (five years ago) link
this says $330 https://greatamericanmusichall.secureboxoffice.com/E/e-2850804/v-2092

that's for 4 tickets?
― sleeve, Friday, 21 September 2018 21:53 (five years ago) link
oh wait nm
yeah but they're all $330 each! fucking ticket sites are such a scam. I should've drilled down my search results more and just gone here, where they are in fact $50: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sleep-saturday-gamh-w-grayceon-tickets-50364070290#tickets

heyo I have two tickets to see SLEEP at the Great American tonight…. But I am sick ☹On the off-chance that anyone is in town tonight and wants to see this show (which is sold out), or knows anyone who wants to see this show, plz let me know and I will happily sell my tix! webmail me. Tix were $60 apiece.

guesses on price?

It says $60 right there at the top
