Defend this shit because I see no merit in it

Drone music,[2][3] drone-based music,[4] or simply drone, is a minimal music genre[5] that emphasizes the use of sustained or repeated sounds, notes, or tone-clusters – called drones. It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it in 2000 as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism".[6]

It sounds nice (to me), although if you really don't like it don't force yourself to like it for the approval of a javanese sheep-herding forum

what's a bad drone album

>>72984184
one that doesn't sound good

>>72984184
it is the atmosphere it creates.

it is a soundscape.

it absorbs me.

the only problem with it is finding the time to listen to the whole thing cover to cover.

(OP) bought a vinyl blindly and am trying to justify my lost $20

It's just a really good drone album, probably top 3 of all time for me. If you don't enjoy it, that's just you I guess.

>>72984130
Phat tones
Juicy riffs

>>72984130
You're living on it.

>>72984442
damn...

>>72984442
fuck

>>72984442
BWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OP, I like drone a lot but I think this album is shit. It never clicked for me, I like earths later stuff but this sound that imitates slayer riffs is just super duper shitty, boring and doesnt sound good. IMO

You said it perfectly

>>72984638
so what is a good drone album in your opinion?

>>72984130
are you a fan of drone music? if not, do you understand drone music? if not, is your favorite band muse?

>>72984943
(OP) I'm actually not going to argue with you bc the fact that you referenced Drones is fucking hilarious

>>72984130
the vinyl is really cheap and a very fun listen

I dunno

are you listening to it on speakers and extremely loud? not that this is the only way to appreciate it, i love this album on headphones, but it definitely helps one understand the appeal

anyway, it's one of those albums that's very difficult to "explain" since it's basically one distinct thing that you either like or don't
the riffs are menacing and enveloping, create a totally mesmeric trance-like state whenever you really sit down and dive into it
if you're new to drone metal try some of boris' stuff first maybe, amp worship specifically

or maybe it's just not your thing
