This music is basic. Anyone could say the same about anything. Don't like pouring citric acid into your eyes? You don't get it.
It's not about being complex. It's about doing Sabbath riffs in a way that shatters skyscrapers. If you're looking for complexity or subtlety then you're doing it wrong. This **** is about raw heaviness. That is the absolute #1 most important part and if you're not getting that then not only are you not getting Electric Wizard then you're probably not getting doom metal.

If you can't listen to basic music then you're no better than a prog nerd.
