About This Track

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. At the time of it’s release, the band had long since broken up.

Dopesmoker failed to reach any Billboard charts and wasn’t reviewed by many popular music critics, although it received very positive reviews from those who did.[1] Ed Rivadavia of online music database Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five stating “Dopesmoker is at once an instant doom metal classic — some might even say a masterpiece”.[1] In 2003, the British music magazine Mojo gave the album a rating of 5 out of 5 stars stating that Dopesmoker as “A benchmark by which all that dares call itself stoner rock must surely be judged.

    the only thing that makes this song sound better is the bubbling of my bong over the sonic sludge landscape. pike and cisneros are gods

    This song was an ordeal to listen to. What a bloated, overlong, drawn out piece of shit.

    The new release will just be a remaster, rait? Oh: "I actually managed to listen to this until the end o_O" I've listened to this track over 100 times (mostly on CD). It is NOT a challenge, it's a pleasure. You get lost in it eventually and time flies. This is a fucking masterpiece and I don't even use drugs...
