The more I hear from Sunn O))), the more I think they're bullshit. I hear all this frantic praise they often widely recieve, but when I try listen to them, I just get bored and listen to something else. I haven't heard anything from this band that I wouldn't have to hesitate to call music. Eh. Just not for me, I guess.

I can't even call this music, just random sounds put together.

I shall have to hear this; sounds like fun but then I've never been shattered by them in the past. But then, I admit I haven't invested that much time in them.

Whatever it is, it's not random sounds. Have any of you haters even heard this album?

I'll begrudgingly give this one a shot or two just so you can't pin me as a downloader who doesn't give things their proper chance even if the music sounds like a broken machine.

Edit: Through the first track and I just want to turn it off. It's so dull and boring.

Everyone praises this band but what is the big deal about them?

And WTF is drone metal? I've listen to almost every type of metal except that.

I haven't heard this particular one, but I find their previous outings very very hard to enjoy. Should still try this as things suddenly seems to click with me nowadays

I can see why this would shit you up if you listened to it at night in the dark.

I like it; it's perfect for reading or just letting your mind wander to to wherever.

This isn't album music. You have to go to a concert and feel sick from all the ultraheavy bass pounding into your body.

Yes, because Drone is the hottest thing at the moment. When the hell did people get so ridiculous around here?

Well LS's post looks like about $3 so perhaps he does have a point.
