| Before I break the bank, do these guys sound anything like Rising? |

| Nice. You sir just made my day. These guys are really good at what they do and your review is just descriptive enough to peek our interest without revealing too much. Well done. |

Mostly laziness to be honest. It sounds semi-interesting but I happened to like Rising's latest quite a bit. If they're in any way similar (aside from both being sludge albums) I'd be willing to take a serious effort to listen to this. |

| They're the first ones ever to think of the name Drone Throne? World, I am disappoint. |

Electric Wizard came close... |

|
| So are we going to start calling newer stoner/doom/sludge bands "retro," "revivalist," "trendy" and "unoriginal" just like the newer thrash bands? |
|

From what i hear, its a very good album liike doc said.
feel kind of bad for downloading it for $0 |
|
|
|
| Flagrant misadvertising. I may check them out anyway. |

| Cool review. The combination sounds interesting although the usage of the word "monotonous" makes me a bit cautious. |
|
|
|
| So what is everyones opinion of the album? |
|
|
|
| They also released a really great 5 song EP in 2008 which is also up for free download on their bandcamp. That one is much more doomy, I recommend checking that one out to |

Talking about the band name? Prior to reading the review I thought the same thing... I was like, this isn't Sunn O))). :s |

No, because they're building on a sound, not "reviving" it. Maybe in a decade when all the new sludge bands start worshiping sludge pioneers and the old-time sludge bands are still writing good music, then we'll start calling it trendy unoriginal revivalist drivel. |

Yeah band bame. I did get a bit excited about the prospect of a drone band being reviewed here (seriously, when was the last time that happened? Daniel's Bong review is the only one I can think of this whole year. Damnit Lucas, you need to review again). |

Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 15.12.2011 at 19:33 Damnit Lucas, you need to review again.
No you. 
I like some drone but I don't think I'd be able to write a review for a drone album. I'd be like, uh, this is about 50 minutes of a buzzing sound... but it's cool and I like it, so you should check it out. /review |

To be honest it's pretty hard to find new drone, and often when I do it's shit. Bands not understand the subtle art of droning and just sticking a guitar up to an amp and recording the feedback. |

If you do it well then layer it in an effective and pleasing manner it's a good way to do it, though you'd probably end up with a noise band rather than a drone one... |

Considering my growing attraction for Noise... I'm not seeing the problem here 
PS. The sarcasm was too subtle before, I actually know what you mean  |

I bought it for $0. I feel bad about it, but i'm cheap.
the album is very good, the songs are very well written. |
|
|
|
| To all the people feeling bad about buying the album for 0$, You know name your price means you can actually, wait for it ... name your price. |
