By the time the band was returned the rights to release it on their unedited-terms, it had ballooned to nearly 64-minutes of droning ceremony, Gregorian chanting and herbal lionizing. Upon it's official 2003 release, it was an instant classic and immediately became the categorial ideal of a stoner metal record, let alone an album that delivered on — and transcended — the promise it built during just its developmental state. It became a record that locked Sleep in as defacto's and go-to's among various strata of metal. It's a hallowed, mystifying tome of epic scope and proportions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eAnd they decided to call it \u003cem\u003eDopesmoker\u003c\/em\u003e.
