Earth - "A Bureaucratic Desire for Revenge, part 2"
A lot of drone metal sounds really samey to me, but I'm liking these guys quite a bit so far. They remind me a lot of a slower-paced Pelican, actually, although Pelican isn't exactly pure sludge or drone, especially not in later albums. And apparently Earth's later stuff shows experimentation with folk/country type stuff, so I'm looking forward to that.

Flobots - Stand Up
Anything with the word "drone" in the title in title is a no-go for me.
Why? Because it makes me think that the act of listening to it is going to cause robots to come to me and do robot things, and the knowledge that this isn't going to happen is too much to bear.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!lolwut.

^^^I've got pretty much all their stuff, and I'm gonna listen to it all in order.
Also, they were apparently one of the major pioneers of drone doom.
To be honest, it's the later stuff, with country and jazz influences, that I'm looking forward to hearing most. Although this earlier stuff I'm listening to now is pretty good.

Yeah, Stars of the Lid is very "zzzzzzzzzzzzz", although I am of the opinion that it's a good thing in their case. Actually, there's probably some interesting parallels you could draw between pure ambient music like that and doom drone like Earth, Sunn O))), Boris, etc.
They're both very very slow-paced, little to no percussion... I wonder what it is that makes me usually prefer ambient music to doom drone?
Earth - "Seven Angels"

Earth - "Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine"
I'm also not sure what makes these guys appeal to me more than any other doom drone band I've ever listened to before. A lot of it seems VERY samey to me somehow... but I am enjoying this band.
Mmmm, nice and relaxing. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
