•Is Sleep’s Dopesmoker still the heaviest album of all time?
60% Informative
In 2015 , Guitar World named Sleep's Dopesmoker the heaviest album ever recorded.
Heavy is, somehow, not the same as brutal or aggressive.
The point is getting bludgeoned: rhabdomyolysis, osteolysis.
If I had to isolate a common musical lineage among all the albums, it’s Black Sabbath .
The slowness that makes music really heavy stands in contrast to TikTok-ified music, which is generally sped up.
It was refreshing to hear music that felt insistent on itself as an experience.
The deciding factor is the drums, which are much higher in the mix on Roadburn than on Dopesmoker .
