Oct 27, 2021A doom metal masterpiece! Not a second wasted... So many unforgettable riffs topped off with Matt Pike's insane guitar tone. Highly recommended.

Jun 5, 2018Solid. I'm always impressed when an old band return after a long hiatus and knock it out of the park with their comeback. Equally as good as their previous output. Push me at gunpoint - maybe even BETTER than most of their previous output.

May 3, 2018Iv'e never been a huge fan of stoner metal, but the album may have won me over. With great instrumentals over the long run time on each song are amazingly well crafted that the 12-14 minute long songs don't feel like they drag on. Even with the long run time on some of the songs it still left me wanting more.

The WireJul 26, 2018Peeled back from its surrounding hype, The Sciences is a sturdy (albeit somewhat stationary) return to form. [Aug 2018, p.59]

Jul 25, 2018The Sciences may not be as daring and ambitious as Dopesmoker, but it finds Sleep working at the top of their game in the studio, and their resinous howl is still a weird marvel to behold. If you're looking for a king-size dose of heavy, The Sciences is what you need.

Jul 6, 2018The Sciences proves that Sleep has got the goods and no manner of years could pull the magic from the Pike-Cisneros connection. And more importantly than that, Sleep, when merely focusing on being Sleep instead of a being collection of influences, is able to produce work that is uniquely them, uniquely fresh, and frankly, inimitable.
