Gotchya. It's the same thing between the Tee Pee and Southern Lord Dopesmokers.

I bought it when it came out on CD and it's probably one of my most listened to albums from them, along with Dopethrone. New stuff is hit or miss for me, but I always enjoy those two albums. They always kind of vary from album to album, in small ways, then over time it feels like a huge shift in style. Even though it still has the same basic type of riffs, LUP sounds less like sabbath jams and more sludge influenced to me, which I dig. A little more dense, a little meaner.D.o.S. wrote:Somehow I missed this one.Ancient Astronaught wrote:Let Us Prey is the only EW Masterpiece IMO. The original not the remaster.

Personally, I think LUP is the underachiever of Electric Wizard 1.0. The self-titled is definitely the red-headed stepchild, and CMF and Dopethrone are impossible to pick between.
That could just be because I don't own Let Us Prey, though.
I concur! They started off more 70's psych then moved into more sludgey stuff then V2.0 was a very different band, and really not in a bad way IMO. Writing with two guitarists definitely helped fill out their sound and add some ambience that I think accents Jus's writing style well.

Yeah, I'm a raging juggernaut of critical listening.Ancient Astronaught wrote: I couldn't have described LUP any better (A little more dense, a little meaner.." Spot On.
It's solid state but the models of their mini-amp line they have out now sound great. They ones based on Vox and Plexi are out now. They're like 99 bucks. I was tempted to get the Plexi one but now I'm gonna wait for this one, which is billed as based on a Mesa Boogie Rectifier. For 99 bucks I'm gonna check it out. I need small amps due to my situation so I'm excited to have more options.whiskey_face wrote:wheres the tubes?
everybody will take this in consideration.D.o.S. wrote:It definitely sounds like a band that's about to implode, that's for sure. Similar to classic Buzzov*en in that way.
