Just about the heaviest slow tempos can get- The White Birch is a fucking great album. Fuzzed out bass lines, rip-roaring guitars, and cracking drums play loudly, but like everyone is on a bunch of downers.
Originally released on Sub Pop records in 1994, Codeine's second album is easily the high point of the band's short-lived career.
A lot of people find this album to be really depressing, or made to listen to in the dark with a candle or something wussy like that. For some reason though, this album has always seemed really empowering and uplifting to me.
