With the release of 2005's Hex: Or Printing In The Infernal Method, the drone gods known as Earth changed their sound from blues-influenced drone and stoner rock to an atmospherically potent post-rock one, losing the heaviness of the early days, but expanding on a textured and beautiful blueprint. The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull is a continuation of that sound, albeit a bit more straightforward and streamlined, and though it's not as good as its predecessor, there are certainly a bevy of gorgeous moments to be found here. Take the piano on penultimate track "Hung From The Moon" for instance, as its simple, yet evocative melody plays to the strengths of the western-tinged guitars and methodical drumming perfectly. The album is another in a line that illustrates what Earth can do with decidedly minimal and elongated music, of what feelings they can conjure despite not being musically complex in practice. It's an Earth album through and through, and that, of course, makes it good.

A well made ambient soundscape. With that said, its too slow moving to really be an entertaining listen. May be good in a live setting however.

Cruising across the desert in a rusty American muscle car...with a body in the trunk.

Atmospheric, bluesy/country inspired doom. The title track is also one of their best songs. Amazing album, a must for anyone into doom

I like the western feel, but can't get over the feeling that a lot of these songs sound like they were simply recorded and put at half speed.

Tedious, monotonous, music that leaves you wishing you could get your 8 minutes and 30 seconds back. Don't keep listening expecting something good to happen, or any resolution of any type. Just turn it off and toss it and feel confident that you've heard it all. I've allready wasted my time, no need for you to waste yours. I would rate it worse but I understand there is a certain market for "atmosphere" music that goes nowhere... So I'm being nice.

I mean to put 4.0, but I ended up putting 4.5 by accident. Ok is that enough characters now?
