THE REVIEW
There are bands (e.g., Black Sabbath) that manage to create slow songs that are very beautiful and interesting, enticing you to listen to them again even after years. This is not the case with Electric Wizard; here there are only endless and repetitive riffs, practically no musical progression, the same riff over and over again, and these riffs have been played a thousand times and played better. Generic vocals that are unbearably whiny and lacking in expressiveness, and they bore me in a way that... It just seems like the band is always on autopilot, it becomes so boring that I can't listen to this album for more than 10 minutes without turning off the stereo. It's boredom that I exactly feel when I listen to this album.

Summary by Bot
The review criticizes Electric Wizard's Dopethrone for its endless repetitive riffs and lack of musical development. Unlike bands like Black Sabbath, whose slow songs remain engaging, Dopethrone feels monotonous and uninspired. The vocals are described as whiny and dull, contributing to the overall boredom felt by the listener. The reviewer struggles to listen beyond ten minutes without turning off the album.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

By Rocky
Their music is a morbid mantra of black magic, a kind of dark and suffocating psychedelia.
Dopethrone rises from hell to transform into a malevolent anthem to soft drugs and affirm the immense power of the electric wizard.
By Moonchild
Electric Wizard is fine, I leave it, I watch Gazz, he hears the music and relives it in his state.
A few kilometers left and he feels he’ll soon be home, happiness is visible on his round face.
By Wallego
"Dopethrone by Electric Wizard is an album from 2000, considered a huge pillar of the slower and darker genres of Metal."
"After having listened to this masterpiece, everything seemed stranger to me... this album truly has something that few albums have."
