Have less to say about this one than most. I listened once like 5 days ago then came back and listened topday. Its really cool and very very heavy and noisy. The guitar tones are incredible, just mesmerizing whether in brutal heavy dirty form or in biting, cutting form. Its incredible. The vocals are better here than on Feedbacker in my opinion, there's also more vocals and they seem more substantial. The long loooong drone part on the super long song was not my thing. It maybe caught me at a bad time because I loved or at least really liked the drone noise parts of Boris at Last Feedbacker, so maybe when I return I will love the long extended noise and drone part(s).

Overall, yeah like I said not much to say, it was really good 70% of the times and the stoner riffs and the very emotional builds on top of the heavy riffage was at times transcendent and brilliant. The other 30% I haven't bought into much and it irked me a little.

Track 1 is a mind bending, slowly disintegrating, super repetitive track that is genius and also if not in right mindset a bit of a bore. i was in mostly the right midnset and i thought it was cool hearing this great simple guitar riff slowly be ripped apart and slowly made out of sync and then disintegrate before my very ears.

Track 2 is a super simple rhythmically track wioth a fucking INCREDIBLE understated long guitar solo. I was surprised how emotionally moved I was. The guitarist for Boris is a beast and she is quickly becoming on of my favorite modern guitarists based off track 2 here and her work on Feedbacker and other limited tracks and albums I've heard. Just stunning, emotive, economical, soulful, excellent all around.

Track 3 is where things gets HEAVY as FUDGE! I love the way it builds and I love that the one vocal part in the whole album was handled so well - would have been a bummer if the one moment the lead singer had to shine was a dud lol. But no its great and it leads right into a thundering, end-opf-days stoner/doomy riff that sounds like some massive elemental force wiping away continents. what a badass tune. Oh and the way the feedback grows and consumes the tracks in the closing minutes sounds like some gateway to a hellish dimension. absolutely apocalyptic!

Track 4 is perhaps the least instantly recognizably unique, its the slowest grower and burner and perhaps the closest to a post rock sounding song of the 4 (based off my limited experience to the genre). But even here in this 20+ minute epic there are some really interesting layers, a beautiful deeply intriguing bass sound and some really cool and shimmering and building guitar textures. Very cool song. Maybe my least fave, but still cool.


Okay, and the album as a whole flows pretty darn well considering how different each of the 4 tracks are. It works as a massive and fascinating epic. 70 minutes, 4 tracks, each quite long and each having some basic premise of hook that they are playing with and each of the basic ideas of the tracks is extrapolated upon and fleshed out into itrs own unique fully realized Piece. Very VERY impressive record. Damn, Boris are amazing, why have I waited so long to try getting into them?

And while this is post rock, that genre is way more expansive than I initially gave it credit for. I mostly was familiar with GY!BE and somewhat similar bands to them, and I thought maybe the genre was not something I loved. This is an album that is largely something you could call post rock but in a whole other, very abstarct or maybe nopt abstract but experimental and I dig it.
