DOPESMOKER IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER.
onewheelwizzard:
I listen to Dopethrone a lot more often than I listen to Dopesmoker (I listen to Come My Fanatics even more though).
That said, Dopesmoker is simply unfuckwithable in a lot of ways. I'm pretty sure that a heavier track has never been recorded. I'm pretty sure nobody's ever going to do what Dopesmoker does better than Dopesmoker. I'm pretty sure that it will never be obsolete. Things like that. The album was just so well executed that it's going to demand respect for as long as people smoke weed.
I will say some of those things about Dopethrone as well, don't get me wrong. It's just as much of a milestone. But there's a quality of purity about Dopesmoker that sets it apart.
I would be unwilling to say with any confidence that Dopesmoker is not the best album ever.

I don't think that's much of a point, really. Dopesmoker is one of my favourite albums but it's not something you can just put, say, when you want to do the dishes, or want some quiet reading music. Granted, Dopethrone isn't really like that either, but it's a lot more accessible and demands less attention.
onewheelwizzard:
Exactly. With Dopethrone I can just listen to Funeralopolis, or I can put on I, the Witchfinder for someone to show them what I mean when I talk about "doom," but with Dopesmoker there is really only one applicable procedure:
Steps 1 and 1-A (concurrent): smoke weed and listen to Dopesmoker at expense of all other activities.

I found out I have this on my hard drive today. So...
(waits for bluegrass track to finish)

This is probably going to come across as rude, and for that I apologize. I can't think of a better way to word my question, but I am asking out of genuine curiosity...
Is this the kind of music where you pretty much have to be stoned out of your mind to "get" or enjoy? Is that why when I listened to it I just kinda shrugged and moved on?
