regardless that American three-piece have gained momentum with their further records of cosmic stoner doom, eventually the early psychedelic stuff was re-discovered as well, while this sophomore disk [2003], considered a benchmark of sound hypnosis, probably most accurately reflects the magic inherent to the style - band leader Mike Scheidt admits that Sleep, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Neurosis all were a huge inspiration at the time, yet with this exact recording YOB have actually joined the charismatic ranks of intoxicating genre's purveyors, and from that point on stoner was never the same again; when this record spins, an illusory feeling takes over that music flows too consistently, yet in fact it is a mastered feature to connect the tiny subtle technical details with all minds of musicians involved, to work as a unity for the same purpose; recent gatefold sleeve black vinyl edition with a remastered sound and completely new design is limited to 1000 units
