Dopesmoker is the final album from the American stoner band Sleep, released in April 22, 2003. Produced by both the band and Billy Anderson, the album went through problems with their label London Records who refused to release the album, which ran for over an hour and consisted of just one song, as the band intended which led to the album being released in a truncated format years later.
