napalmsatan An album I've loved for years, and have often referred to as a crown jewel of experimental music. Blue Sheep is one of the best songs I've ever heard, bar none. Favorite track: The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep).

iheartf2p The second Sunn O))) album i heard, as recently as 2023, a semincal year in my exploration of metal and all of it's sub genres; this album hooked me in with Etna...the drum solo, the guitar wail, the big chuggy finale...and the weirdness just continues, then a transition to a powerful, lyrical ballad, followed by more wonderous doomy noise. Top 20 album for me, along the likes of Mr Bungle, Primus, Buckethead, and Gorillaz. Favorite track: The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep).
