sludgier
More thick and muddy
Sludgier is the comparative form of sludgy—thicker, more mired in viscous muck.
The word applies literally to mud or sediment: The creek got sludgier after the rain.
Figuratively, it describes anything that feels sluggish or weighed down: The second album has a sludgier sound than their debut.
