Dopesmoker could be boiled down to a 12 minute opener, then there could be some other tracks and the album could be better. At least it's kinda unique. But that's a half hearted attempt at saying something nice about it. I legitemately can't think of a metal album I've ever heard that I wouldn't rather listen to. Not even from the vast pool of really ****ty ones. At least then, there could be a trainwreck to react to. Dopesmoker is a very expertly painted wall that I can watch as it dries.
