#2024 Sunn O))) - Monoliths and Dimensions

There are surely people out there who can tell one Sunn record from another - this one is very loud, very patient, very ominous and evil, and slow.

I'm sure there are people who deeply appreciate the techniques used to make guitars sound so big, so elemental, so able to make an album that is very loud, very patient, very ominous and evil, and slow.

And some folks will just be impressed by someone doing something harder than anyone's done before. And this album, as such albums go, is very loud, very patient, very ominous and evil, and slow. It's a challenge to listen to, Metal Machine Music almost, but damn it does get in your head, will make you feel sick, infected. Impressive. Though it doesn't really even succeed on an atmospheric level, for me: guttural doom moaning sounding all Spooky Halloween Sounds CD Vol III.

But I have to admit, even as loud, patient, ominous, evil, slow albums go, this one is very loud, very patient, very ominous and evil, and slow 3/5
