Fuck Rolling Stone. They're obviously just on the hype train. When they reviewed Sunbather they gave it a 3/5. Personally, I hate that so many of these publications have their regular AOTY lists then a "Best metal albums of the year". It's lame that it's 2013 and metal can't be seen in the same light as most of the other guitar music that fills these lists. The main thing I hate about this year in particular is so many lists are giving Deafheaven the 2nd or 3rd spot, and it's always right behind fucking Yeezus. I liked Yeezus, but so many people are dickriding it because it's "innovative" when Kanye is pretty much just riding the Death Grips train. I'm waiting for somebody to have the balls to just up and give Sunbather AOTY. Not best metal album of the year, but just fucking AOTY. Fuck mainstream music magazines.
You can kill yourself talking about the God Yeezus like that.

Nigga don't even act like Kanye didn't rip off the aggressive sound from shit like The Money Store as far as the production goes.
It's sad it's not like we have much to work with in the music world nowadays.. Music as a whole has gone sooo downhill in the last decade or two but regardless.. Aoty should go to an album that is completely legendary and ground breaking. It could literally change the face of mysic like nirvana, beatles, black sabbath, etc. An album ill tell my kids like where I was when I first heard it etc... If you think that sunbather defines that your fucking delusional and there is just no other word for it..
I'm not gonna try and argue that Sunbather is objectively AOTY worthy or what have you, but it just upsets me with as much praise as it's getting, it's more often than not still just gonna be that one metal album in all of these mainstream publication's AOTY lists. I hate that all of these publications pick up the same one or two metal albums and throw 'em in their lists to try and appease the metal community and it's usually overshadowed by something that's not that great. In the end it's all just hype bullshit, but I'm personally really proud of what Deafheaven accomplished with Sunbather so it just seems like a kick in the face when people say it's the best metal album of the year, but it's only a 3/5 in general or it's still not as good as something like Yeezus, which is probably Kanye's worst record, especially lyrically.

Either stoner rock or stoner metal
They're metal like qotsa are metal I guess which is not really..
I loved Sunbather, though.
Once again slap has taken over wines place as knowledgable but completely delusional poster
Second, sunbather was/is a beautiful album. No it's not #1 AoTY (imo), but it's a fucking good record.
It might be that album for some people.
