You can take anything from Sleep; they’re all better than the last. Jus should definitely pay Matt Pike a lot of royalties, in my opinion. Just be careful not to buy both Jerusalem (which you can only find used) and Dopesmoker, since Dopesmoker is nothing but a reissue of Jerusalem with the addition of another one of those short pieces done their way. Then just look at how many people have reissued or referenced Dragonaut, the track that opens the album. There are people who made the EP DrUganaut (Black Mountain, by the way, if you take out "Holy" and put in "Black"...), there are people who call themselves Dragonauta, etc. When you listen to Sleep, you spend your time saying, “Damn, this person copied that from this guy! Man, this one took that directly from this other guy!” Then after you’ve heard Holy Mountain, you should also watch the film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, the same title (but from 1973, or maybe '74), the album takes its name from there, pure delirium.

Siena is a monumental event, certainly somewhat spoiled by advertising and Pelù, but it was already designed from the start to be the largest live performance of PFM (even though I personally favor the live version in the USA, maybe for snobbery). I've never seen footage of this in Japan, but I don’t think they had the tons of equipment that Siena did. Siena wins for sound variety; they brought two Moogs, a Fender, and other keyboards I couldn’t recognize. The drum set starts in Siena and travels to Pistoia, plus there’s a guest drummer (who I can never remember the name of, but he looks like Chris Slade from AC/DC in '91). There’s half the world on that stage. The standout highlight: the reunion with Mauro Pagani, not just any old thing. Many people find it annoying because it was super-planned as an event, but I think it turned out well: tons of solos, an incredible weaving of sounds, and masterful production and recording :)

Well, there are millions of Doom records, Death To Music is definitely less Doom but still filled with beautiful things and various digressions across many sub-genres (sub-genres because we’re still talking about "Heavy"). The problem with this one, which as Rocky says is "the least beautiful," is that it has to face off against a masterpiece of Acid Doom like Blotter, so it loses with honor :)

""How can you say that this is the most Doom?"" Above I ate the "most".

But if you haven't heard Blotter, how can you say this is the Doom? Oh, maybe after you listen to Blotter you won't change your mind, it’s just that I can't wrap my head around the reasoning of "I haven't heard the other one, but this one is better," which is, do you have the magic sphere? :D

Well, to me it seems like a totally bland vintage Hard Rock album, just a full-on '60s revival, not even a proper distortion, not a psychedelic effect, nothing extra to make a difference. Senor Moreno's Plan is the only one that stands out from the total banality, and they know it well since they even gave it an introduction... as if it were Supa Scoopa & Mighty Scoop. This album is overshadowed by a "Heard It Before" that's as big as a cruise ship; these are not albums to be released in the 2000s.

I prefer the one from 200(3?-4?) in Piazza del Campo in Siena, obviously excluding the presence of Piero Pelù. Four to this and five to Piazza del Campo.

Without considering when they were released, how much they influenced, and all the mental gymnastics, yes, this is the best one. However, it's worth noting that with the first one, they pulled a lot of things out of the hat; in this one, instead, they "borrowed" bits and pieces here and there from people who once borrowed from them, definitively handing the scepter over to their successors. It's like if Black Sabbath decided to imitate Kyuss on their next album; I’d throw a spit in their face for that. All mental gymnastics, but hard to avoid :D

The title track had surprised me, then Del Naja got involved, surpassing them by a few kilometers and making them look bad; in the end, the PS really only did the first one well. Seminal but not consistent, for me this is nice but nothing more.

A ridiculous group all around, one of the many groups that ruin the few nice things made in the genre. The only beautiful thing they've done was the founding of the Epitah, for the rest just big laughs. It was beautiful when they left their home to go to the Atlantic, even more beautiful when the Atlantic kicked them out and they returned to the Epitah, so many great laughs.
