Sleep - The Sciences (April 20, 2018)

The Sciences by Sleep

Sleep Announce First New Album in Over a Decade | Pitchfork

First album from the metal legends in nearly 20 years, dropping on 4/20, but of course

 

uh what

 

Let's fucking go

 

light up

 

well i know what i'm gonna do on my day off tomorrow

 

FOLLOW THE SMOKE - JERUSALEM

 

Dopesmoker is my go to song for jukeboxes.

 

it's a flex, for sure

 

fowar twennehhhhhh

Mad how they're signed to Third Man tho isn't it? Wouldn't have thought they fit that label's general aesthetic at all. Plus I really dislike Jack White. Quite like this band though so I just bought a FLAC download of this.

 

This is fucking good

 

what is the label’s aesthetic lol? guitar music? pretty sure matt pike still plays guitar.

 

Oh man. First getting to see them a few weeks back, and now this?

 

Good day to be working from home.

 

giving this a run through again. never get tired of it.

 

i wonder if they’ll tour off this

 

I have one of the 500 translucent green Dopesmoker vinyls that came with holographic foil paper. Easily one of the most coveted records in my collection. Super excited to put this on.

 

They’re touring in July I’m pretty sure

 

Just saw them in Detroit a couple weeks ago. I believe they've been touring for a minute now?

 

That bong rip at the beginning of "Marijuanaut’s Theme" was perfect.

Plus Heavy MTL and a surprise 4/20 set at Roadburn tonight.

Listening to Marijuananaut's Theme right now for the first time, and this is hitting all the perfect notes. That tone is so silky smooth.

 

any word on a physical release for this yet or is it currently digital only? just wondering.

edit: $50 limited edition first press is available on third man's website. there's also a special 420 edition available at some select indie record stores. see the list on sleep's fb page.

 

I got the limited indie exclusive

 

Not sure if I should go ahead and listen to this while I'm at work, or if I should just wait until I get off so I can roll a fattie and truly appreciate this.

 

This is.....dope
