4.5 superbThrashK | February 2nd 14

This is so good that it's definitely not even funny.

4.5 superbkoolkat | February 17th 13

Born Too Late takes me back to all the grotesque Hardee's commercials where a grandiose hamburger blatantly smacks onto the floor. A comparison can certainly be made. Born Too Late slams itself onto the floor demanding attention, people point and stare at it. They talk about it's rudiments of condiments, and the dried bun. They say the burger looks molded, they say the meat cant have many nutrients. They say the flavor is much too bland. Though they don't have experience with eating burgers.

The War Starter was a standout song for me. This album is even slower and doomier than the previous two.

Quite simply one of the greatest doom albums ever recorded.

0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | May 13th 24

It is easy to listen to this album now and only hear the surface-level goofy instrumentals, bland slow writing, and questionable lyrics, but this also served as one of the progenitors to further heavier, slower, and more exhausting subgenres of doom metal. The influence cannot be denied, even if it can be a bit difficult to sit through nowadays.

3.5 greatGary the ghost STAFF | August 6th 21

This was reeeeeeally slow! Wino's singing was a cool change. I'll drop a 3.5 on this first, but I think it will grow on me later.

3.8 excellentErwann S. EMERITUS | April 28th 20

diabolus in musica. Released by SST (!), this one was the ugly duckling of 80s British heavy metal: while everyone was trying to go faster than light, Saint Vitus chose to wallow in slowness and oppression. Halfway between Ozzy and Lemmy, the vocals are both plaintive and aggressive, following the pattern dictated by the litany of fuzzy guitars. It was doom at the time, yet I can't help but feel this is proto-stoner to a certain degree (yeah I know Sabbath was the first proto-stoner band shut up). This record has got the doom for sure, but it adds some psych elements here and there (Dying Inside for example). Really interesting for a 1986 record.

2.0 poorZanareth | July 28th 15

This album consists of unmemorable and weak power chords with some annoying wah abuse
thrown in for good measure. Don't even get me started on the vocals. Pass...
