I haven't heard it, but I would like to get hold of it.

I have an article from Chicago Reader last Fall about "the holy grail of of
stoner metal", the album "Jerusalem" from Sleep.  I like the band, and the
article had what I consider high praise, calling the album's one song "one
massive post-Sabbath symphonic drone of a song."  "... suggest the
cathedral-filling drones of some extremely baked midnight mass - one for
which Cisneros's book-rewriting hard-rock bass, Pike's mind-bending guitar,
and Hakius's insistent psychedelic march beat provide an ideal sound track."
 "... slowed down Sabbath detuned to C." "...sheer power-trio heft becomes
hypnotic, even spiritual" "Sustaining a coherent song and groove at great
length, with myriad sibtle developments on a basic theme..."

The only problem was that this album apparently never came out.  Is it
officially out now?
