I'm thinking of working back to Age of Adz eventually... And Dopethrone was kinda disappointing, it kinda sounds like a ridiculously bass-boosted old school epic doom metal band with some nice driving moments but too much monotony throughout. I much prefer what Mainliner does with that kind of production tbh. Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture It's a bit of a shame to hear that you're not in to Sufjan's folk revival material, but more importantly I agree with your views on his Ascension and found it a beautifully calm and fascinating take on his long running flirtations with electronica. Maybe give his early Enjoy Your Rabbit and his recent Lowell Brams collab Aporia some tries. As to Dopethrone, I've always found them to be one of the key examples of a sort of epic stoner doom and would never accuse them of being overly uniform. Maybe try Come My Fanatics if you haven't? Still, I agree that Mainliner is an even greater project, if not entirely comparable with Dopethrone. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Brainiac as well as the new Lucy.

All noted, I think most of the disagreement comes from my allergies for fluffy indie folk and repetitive doom metal in general, not so much major flaws on those artists...
Brainiac was fun, good stuff, I just felt like the album flew by a bit too soon; that Lucy record has gotten me prepared to start diving deep into his discography, I very much ~vibe~ with that dry, dissociated crooner style. I'll ask you for opinions once I recognize some more of those covers!
