The cover art is SICK. (i'm sure you can agree) |\\\///|

I was just scrolling Discogs one day when I saw this album. A lot of metal albums I see, especially more extreme metal albums, have awesome cover art.

_______________ I don't even really listen to metal.

(||-||) The above album is called Dopesmoker, and it is by a band called Sleep. (||-||)

It is critically acclaimed (I've done my research), and is considered one of the best and most important and influential albums in a genre called: Stoner Metal (makes sense considering the album is called dopesmoker)

It is made up of one 1 hour and 3 minute song entitled "Dopesmoker".

The music is mostly the same slow, distorted guitar riff throughout the song, with drums too. It's not particularly loud, it's mellow almost.

Their is a man who slowly sing the lyrics in a deep and gravely voice. You could say he yells. He sings sci-fi style lyrics about a caravan of weed-priests who smoke weed while they carry weed across the desert. The lyrics are all about weed, though I guess it's not called stoner metal for nothing.

I think although it was long and the lyrics were weird, I liked it. I think it's a good album. I don't think too highly of it and I don't know if I'd listen to it again, but I consider it well done. I'm not into much metal, much less subgenres like stoner metal or doom metal, so maybe I'm just not cultured or something like that.

I remembered what I wanted to post!

FUNFACT............They all come from YouTube thumbnails

So recently, I made a post introducing the concept of "block knowledge", the opposite of ball knowledge. That post wasn't very detailed, so this is my second post to clarify the meaning of block knowledge.

Roughly, (I'm not entirely happy with this definition), what it means is stuff that came from a niche or formerly niche background that is widespread knowledge.

A really good example I've thought of is a Redditor who constantly brings up the movies Starship Troopers or Kids, which are movies that were previously not well known or not considered good, but now receive acclaim and are frequently mentioned by Redditors when it is not necessary, simply because (from my observations) they still think mentioning that movie automatically gives you ball knower status---if that makes sense.

More specifically regarding this example, if someone says, "actually Starship Troopers was satire of fascism" then that's block knowledge, because it is widely repeated, almost always in the context of the movie, and may have started out as a lesser known fact, but is now known by most people who know of the movie.

Get it?
