I bought this album expecting doom, got an album full of eclectic heavy rock that is closer to American bands like Mastodon than British Doom ala Cathedral. Still, the vocals are absolutely gorgeous, the production is lush and punchy, the melodies ebb and flow. This album is a like a warm blanket on a cold winter's evening. And yes, there are nods to that classic British doom sound dispersed throughout the album. Not quite what I had expected, but a fantastic album nonetheless. Jan
The first release I heard from Sergeant Thunderhoof that almost didn't even catch my interest the first time around, but I'm so glad I came back. Their style is just perfect for what I want from stoner/psych, a perfect blend of sounds that come together with a magnitude greater than the components themselves, hitting emotional depths as they should.

I’m a huge nerd and knew I would love this album simply from the name of the band. Shai-Hulud was the first track I heard and it remains my favorite, its deep and droning sound is just fucken awesome. Complete Obliteration comes in at a close second for the favorites. God I could kiss that guitar tone on its personified mouth! TerraqueousIdeology
