Yeah, I have to say doom metal is a genre I feel absolutely incapable of even beginning to judge for goodness or badness.

I have some black metal I really like, and a couple of symphonic pieces courtesy of handful_ofdust, but I think that's about where my engagement with the genre ends. Weirdly, I do better with the bleak screaming noise end of things than the wall of guitars studded with portentous apocalyptic imagery.
