Bongzilla - Amerijuanican (2005)


Stoner, Sludge

     Amerijuanican is the 'Godfather' of stoner rock albums, and a perfect introduction to the genre. I've said it before and I'll say it again; sludge is all about the riffs, so don't expect any vocal harmonizing or acoustic picking.  Bongzilla comes out of the gate swinging with the title track, which could be my favorite stoner anthem of all time, and from that point the album never lets up.  One thing that's great about Bongzilla is they keep their songs relatively short compared to other sludge bands.  Actually there is a 12 minute track, but it happens to be one of the strongest, and they save it for the end of the album, other than that though there aren't any songs over 7 minutes.  I know that probably seems long, but if your like me you'll wish they were a lot longer.  Definitely Bongzilla's best.  Break out the bong and bask in the sludgy goodness.
