I do love a new purchase
BeoPuppy:
Recently I went to a CD seller to check out something I keep hearing people about, here and in the music press: Sunn 0))). Now I was convinced that this was just boring droning 'music' but I thought to myself, let's give 'em a fair chance, people must like it for a reason.
I am still mystified why anyone would like Sunn 0))). A little help there might be appreciate it, so that I at least understand. Needless to say, it wasn't for me.
Luckily there was a sale on so I bought some Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Hank Mobley, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzie Gillespie and Stan Getz.
So ... it wasn't a wasted afternoon.

This came up on OSG, and the only explanation we could come up with (even from us Sunn O))) fans) is sheer heaviness.
De_El:
Yeah, I've heard it said that Sunn O))) is all heavy and no metal. For my part, when I listen to a Sunn O))) album, I approach it kind of like a film. I just sit down and listen to it all the way through, really fucking loud so that the sound resonates in my body and sort of surrounds me. But I mean, if you have no patience for music with no clear melody or beat, if you need a hook to focus on you're not going to like Sunn O))). I dunno. I like them a lot, so I take listening to their music pretty seriously. I feel like if you do it right it can be a pretty intense experience.
BeoPuppy:
Okay, great. Thanks, that at least gives me some insight.
