Shockingly, this is the first time I hear this. Perhaps I am overly cautious because I know that nothing they release can sound as good as Dopesmoker. The vocals are very similar to Om, and I might prefer it to Al's vocals on Dopesmoker. That drone-y riff is real nice, and the rest of it is growing on me.
The solo sounds...misplaced. Perhaps Pike forgot he's not recording material for High On Fire.
