Title: My first Sunn O))) experience
Review: This is the first CD I've bought from this band I've heard SO much about, and I just had to give them a whirl. The advisement on the traycard that "maximum volume yields maximum results" is absolutely true. Seeing Sunn O)))'s name thrown around by countless acts or even just popping up on clothing sported by said acts (including locals Buried at Sea), I pretty much knew what I was in for. Well, to review this here CD particularly, I didn't care much for the opening spoken word part, but after that's over, the second half of the opening track is HEAVY and SLOW (two things I happen to like). I dug the second track a lot with its odd sound. The last cut, taking minimalism to a whole new art form, was completely crushing in the way that only a lack of music can convey. Coming from the more metal-leaning slow, heavy acts (Sleep, Corrupted, Buried at Sea, etc.) this was a little more esoteric, but I loved it the whole way through.How much low end can you take?
Is the review positive or negative?
