Pink (studio album) by Boris

From II 02/04/2025 19:24

It's an accessible album in Boris's discography; has an average amount of tracks of an album - 11, most of the tracks are of an average length and are faster-paced.
Boris has always showcased its expertise in several music genres relating to very heavy, distorted and noisy guitars, and this album is no exception, hence, for this album, Pink showcases mostly its Stoner Rock, Noise Rock and Stoner Metal soundscapes and more surprises, and as usual, Boris's riffs are quite semi-simple, but also quite consonant and very catchy! Who knew pink could be this aggressive!
The CD release of this album was the very first one, so this album has different tracklist and different track lengths which are cut shorter, but in my opinion the LP release has the better experience; as it saves the longer tracks for last, although the CD version cuts off the repetitive sections in most of the long songs.
II've always liked the crunchy badass sound of stoner music, e.g. Queens of the Stone Age, so Boris's Pink is a landmark in the stoner world, a masterpiece! earning Boris a high spot on the stone along with QotSA and Kyuss.
It has been while since II kept listening over and over to one album. so Pink is one of most addictive albums II've ever listened to! And II recommend you to listen to it, either if you like stoner music or not!

The fact this isn't in the top 10 of the year highlights this site's weird bias against metal.

Fav. Tracks:

- Pink
- Woman On The Screen
- Blackout
- Farewell
- Just Abandoned My-Self

Mixing Noise rock with sludgy, doomy, stoner metal has to be one of the best ideas anyone has ever come up with.
This album is a full frontal assault of noise and it's just so much fun, fantastic listen, highly recommended to anyone into fast-paced noisy rock/metal

A pretty good album overall, but nothing really stands out to me other than the awesome, shoegazey "Farewell". And the latter half of the closing track gets pretty cool. The rest is fun but fairly forgettable

Some wonderful melodies beneath the muddy noise.

This Japanese doom metal album is bigger than Godzilla or any sumo wrestler.
