Dopesmoker...

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to fall asleep, you might want to try listening to Sleep's Dopesmoker. This album is a single track that lasts for over an hour and consists of nothing but slow and heavy riffs, droning vocals and occasional bong hits. It's like a musical equivalent of a blunt: it will make you feel relaxed, hazy and maybe a bit paranoid.

Sleep's Dopesmoker is not for everyone. Some might find it boring, repetitive or too loud. Some might even question the artistic merit of such a monolithic piece of stoner metal. But for those who appreciate the genre, this album is a masterpiece. It's a testament to the band's dedication, creativity and endurance. It's also a cult classic that has influenced many other bands and genres.

The story behind the album is almost as interesting as the music itself. Sleep recorded Dopesmoker in 1996 after signing a major label deal with London Records. They spent their entire advance on vintage equipment, marijuana and living expenses. They then delivered a 63-minute demo of Dopesmoker to the label, who rejected it and asked them to make it more radio-friendly. The band refused and tried to find another label that would release their vision intact. They eventually broke up in 1998 due to frustration and legal issues.

The demo was leaked online and circulated among fans for years. Several unofficial versions of the album were released by different labels under different titles, such as Jerusalem and Holy Mountain. In 2003, Tee Pee Records finally released the official version of Dopesmoker, remastered by Billy Anderson and with new artwork by Arik Roper. The album received critical acclaim and gained a cult following among metal fans.

Sleep's Dopesmoker is not just an album, it's an experience. It's a journey into the depths of the mind and the cosmos. It's a sonic ritual that transcends time and space. It's a tribute to the power of weed and music. It's a legend that lives on.

If you're brave enough to listen to it, make sure you have plenty of time, snacks and water. You might also want to light up a joint or two, if that's your thing. But be warned: once you enter the realm of Dopesmoker, there's no turning back.

Set in the year 2022, Soylent Green depicts a dystopia , a Malthusian catastrophe that occurs because humanity has failed to pursue sustainable development and has not halted uncontrolled population growth ; New York City 's population is 40,000,000, with more than half of it unemployed. Global warming , air and water pollution have produced a year-round heatwave and a thin, yellow, daytime smog . Food and fuel are scarce resources, because of animal and plant decimation, housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and widespread government-sponsored euthanasia is encouraged to control and reduce overpopulation. Meat, bread, cheese, fruit, vegetables, and even alcoholic beverages are scarce and extremely expensive; for example, a six- ounce jar of strawberry jam is 150 "Ds" ( US Dollars ). Like the soylent food factories, the farms producing foodstuffs are heavily guarded and off-limits to civilians. For most of the populace, natural foods are a rarely, if ever, enjoy...
