So, the band is from Brooklyn, their album was recorded in Belgium, and it was released on a Belgian label? What gives? Since
Sloth didn't exactly leave the largest of footprints on the net (though there is a posthumous
Myspace site) I really have no explanation for those odd geographic circumstances, but whatever. On their first and last album, Sloth strike me as being on the same wavelength as Green River, and dialing back a couple of decades, the Stooges. Not overly derivative of either I should add, but in certain places on
Sloth (e.g. "Islamic Judge" and "Zero-ville") I'm also detecting traces of the Mats, Hanoi Rocks, and New York Dolls. I should note that some of the non-album tracks they're hosting on Myspace smack distinctly of the Stones. Upon giving this a few spins, I'm still trying to make up my mind if Sloth were employing their full potential, or if that potential still needed some tweaking. Hopefully upon listening to this you'll draw a more definitive conclusion than I was able to.

Thank you very much for this fantastic album. Great surprise for me. All the best.
Great, great, great album. I've liked this a lot.
I've never heard of Sloth. I like your blog. I'm always on the lookout for obscure bands and I'll be looking for this one.
Wait a few days and play it again.
I work in xlpharmacy and a friend of mine like very much the old music and stuff and i was watching he's collection yesterday and I couldn't believed that he had the old big black cd of this people, is pretty amazing that those cd's still exists.
