Album Review : Sleep's Holy Mountain by Sleep

[SlayEmAll1986]

You could have summed this up in 10 seconds. "THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME. BUY IT"

[frididjurhuus]

This is the heaviest album of all time.

[TheGorgorothSpire]

Where can I buy Dopethrone?

[dudonaut]

I'm gonna buy Sleep's Holy Mountain, but i dont know which version i need, there is the standard CD and the Digipack with that bonus stuff... Actually i'd rather buy the Digipack but I'm not sure if it sounds like the Original or if its a remastered CD ?

[glenniesamoyoa26]

[raouldukethegnzo]

[macleodponeage]

Saw them last night. It ruled.

[Gagi420]

were did you get the vinyl? id pay alot just for it

[YoureWrongImRight]

@Gagi420

I don't really remember. I've had it for a while. Probably flea market or record store.

[Sully0220]

@Gagi420 just check your newbury comics or your record store. mine was like 14 bills for vinyl

[Gagi420]

you got a fucking vinyl!!! what the fuck!!! id kill for one!!!

[1WC4L]

dopesmoker also has Sonic Titan live

[ElvenFury75]

I completely agree with the "louder it gets, the more powerful it is" part. It's like going from just nodding your head to headbanging slowly but heavily enough to smash through a wall.

[WinstonVonDouglas01]

i just got the holy mountain album.Aquarian is my fave on it.

[kaiserfleisch]

electric wizard blows BTW

[66420192]

Dammit, I had to settle for the picture disc because I was a tool and didn't buy the proper vinyl there and then >:(

[cjstraton]

Nice vinyl! I got the vinyl version of it about a week ago too.

[Caligula138]

Sleep is tuff as fuck

[PanamaSabroso]

I love Cannibis Corpse

[jugchord]

I love Holy Mountain, I love Electric Wizard as well Dopethrone is amazing

[fatrat600284]

I love this album.

[heyjudas]

cool review, man. i'll have to check this out.

[WolfataDoor]

Good album, but I got to be in the mood for this stuff. Not the biggest fan of sludge metal, but it's pretty good. But the album cover is so awesome.

And Dopesmoker rules.

[YoureWrongImRight]

Yeah, I have to be in the right frame of mind for monumental sludge riffs. This kind of music usually cheers me up when I hear it, though. Doesn't have a downer effect on me.

Gotta love epic albums like Dopesmoker. Every band should try to make an hour long track at some point in their career.

[TheOuterSpaceBassMan]

SLEEP IS MY FAVORITE BAND, HOLY MOUNTAIN IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!. Hey, you should get Vol 1, you probably wont get it on vinyl, just get the CD from the online store "All that is Heavy" its heavier and has a way different groove than HM. thanks for the review!

[YoureWrongImRight]

I'll own it one day, don't worry.

[RickyShoreSings]

there's a good song called "sleep" by a band called in heat. did you get a new camera? i don't really know this band. maybe i'll download when i renew my gorgeous rapidshare. i like to smoke big marijuana not small marijuana. what is being high like? whatever you want it to be. a band that lets someone else break them up sucks. all there is to it. hate that shit. nice review, by the way.

[YoureWrongImRight]

Mike from High On Fire was in this band. Same old camera, just this room has different lighting. I recorded my review in this room because my record player is in here. I'm on a break from marijuana for a couple months. Awesome bands breaking up sucks in general. I guess the label telling them their hour long songs were shitty created too much tension in the band. It was released almost a decade later and I thought it was baddass. Such a waste.

[TheOuterSpaceBassMan]

I guess the people in the record company just have never been stoned, the tones and riffs are something else while stoned. Sleep made what they wanted to and I think dopesmoker/Jerusalem was a great success!

[YoureWrongImRight]

Yeah, I 100% agree. I think London Records just saw a new flavor of the month and weren't open minded enough to understand the direction Sleep wanted to take their sound. London Records said it wasn't commercial or marketable enough. Dopesmoker and Jerusalem were fucking epic.

[TheOuterSpaceBassMan]

Hey have you heard both albums? I have Jerusalem and never thought to get Dopesmoker, since it is basically the same thing. If so should I get it?

[YoureWrongImRight]

Well, Dopesmoker and Jerusalem are different, but the same. Dopesmoker was the original. Jerusalem was divided up into 6 parts and has a slightly different flow. Just a bunch of subtle differences. In my professional opinion, I'd say owning just one should suffice, but Dopesmoker is better because it's what the band originaly had their hearts set on releasing. But that's just if you want to split hairs. How many hour long stoner metal songs do you really need ? I'd just buy someting else.

[TheOuterSpaceBassMan]

Haha I need 24 of those hour long stoner metal songs. Ah, just wanted to hear what you had to say, If anything id rather buy the Sleep reunion DVD that's coming out some time or another.

[elvispresly1]

The album cover looks pretty sick :)

[theneedledrop]

You really take care of me, baby. :-)

[YoureWrongImRight]

Sometimes I worry... hee hee hee.

[BongHitsForJesus101]

I love this album

[YoureWrongImRight]

No, I love it.

[Yaksniffer]

oooooh snap, you got it on vinyl. Luckyyy

I love Sleep!!

[riserobot]

That is one wild cover! What a life huh, get baked and press some vinyl.

[jumblejunkie]

this album is amazing. My fav Sleep album
