Ok this is what happens; I received this album over a month ago, I tried it the first time and I liked a lot, the next few times something changed actually, then people began telling me "nah! This album kinda sucks dude, I prefer old Sunn O)))" so I kept listening to it and I kept digging it more and more to finally realize the general scheme of this album…

Especially after all the extra bonus stuff; the white and black versions of The Sinking Belle (much better than the original Blue version) as well as 'Her Lips Were Wet With Venom' which elevates this even further being so good. Incredibly varied, great sound, great production, great songs and fantastic cover artwork. Drone doom doesn't get better than this. Loading...

Know anywhere I can go to get a quality download of the bonus songs?

I don't have the money to be buying the 2-disc copy, either... ---- Loading...

I don't think you should feel ashamed about downloading the whole album again to get to those specific songs if you've already bought the album (though I can't post links here or I'll get banned ) Loading...

The funny thing is that most folks still focus on the Sunn O))) tag rather than Boris for this album. At least that's how I have perceived it. ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you. Loading...
