Om - Conference of the Birds (2006)

"Where the previous album, Variations on a Theme, opened with a squeal of feedback and overdriven bass, this album opens with relative calm… a deceptively simple rhythm at minor volume, and vocals that gently seep through the veil. This change in tone alone proves that simply being “heavy” is not necessary, and that the lyrical essence carries much more weight. The overall experience is similar to what one may find in the company of monks intoning sacred verses, and serves as a unique and powerful cleansing agent.

I simply have no desire to listen to another doom album again, as it has nothing more to offer as a stylistic exercise. Much like the eagle, Om has soared above and beyond convention."
