BeSt BORIS AlBuM PoLL

"If the name appears as "Boris" or "boris," then, the music is most likely an experimental recording.[1]"

As on Akuma no Uta, but is that really one of their more experimental recordings?

haha touche

xxpost

btw there's TWO different versions of Vein (I have both) 1 of them is a 2 track "noise" version" and the other is a 12 track "hardcore" version.
The 2 track was mailed only to those people who live outside N America.
So that it would take a week for people to find out that Boris had screwed everyone over by making 2 different versions (i think there's 1100 of the US version and 400 of the Euro. I got lucky and got mine for what my friend paid for his which was the standard price. It's handy knowing people who can get me ltd us only stuff. This albumw as $100+ on ebay at the time.

oh and sorry for pissing off all you *Pink fans. I think I've been on the Southern Lord board for too long!

*Still not the best album though :)

definitely flood for me - its really the only boris album i like, which calls into question whether i really like boris

the keiji haino one or flood...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Flood was amazing live when i saw them play it this year. best 40 mins of a gig I've seen in a looong time.

If I am a fuck who likes Farewell from Pink the best, which LP do I listen to next?

Akuma no Uta.

it's got an awes cover too.

Pink is so totally gonna win this you guys

feedbacker is fuckin huge but i like blackout on pink and a lot of the faster thrashin tracks with the dueling leads pump me up

voted feedbacker though

The 2 albums with Merzbow are missing too. But the live album is shit anyway. Terrible sound on it. I doubt anyone would've voted for either of them anyway. I don't see Vein getting (m)any.
The album with Sunn o))) I do enjoy a lot yet there's plenty who don't so I'll be interested to see if it gets any votes.

akuma

other suggestions:

conqueror by jesu
The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw by pelican

BIG HOOS, that's what I meant when i posted "Akuma No Uta" below caek's post.

Not that I was voting for it.

But I think i did vote for it anyway.

right, i gathered, just seconding.

The songs on Heavy Rocks and Akuma No Uta are better than the songs of a similar style on Pink.
So You have to check out Heavy Rocks and Akuma No Uta.

exactly.

I'm glad someone agrees.

So… Nothing from them this year? How odd.

(I've only got Feedbacker, Pink and Akuma No Uta, and I think I like Akuma most).

Try Heavy Rocks then. But really, the early stuff is untouchable. They've released so much in the past few years the quality control has suffered.
There has been lots of ep's in the past year. Another lp with merzbow is out next week I think.

2 Songs that piss all over the garage rock type songs on Pink

watch all 9 parts. A track off Amplifier Worship here "huge"

Hah I just realised "Sun Baked Snow Cave" isn't in the poll either. Do you hate Merzbow? ;)

or the split 2xlp with Doomriders!

I didn't know both their surnames were Album, Geir.

Sun-baked Snow Cave is pretty cool, actually. I don't listen to it often, but when I'm in the mood it works.

It's the best of the with Merzbow releases.

Are we going to have a shock winner? Will justice be done and Heavy Rocks and Akuma No Uta beat Pink? Or is it a landslide for Pink?

only 6.25 hrs

i am metal with anticipation

Vein (hardcore version).

only 6.25 hrs

I predict Soundtrack from Film “Mabuta no Ura” will get 0 votes.
Solomon Volume 1 deserves a vote. That's one I don't own as I dont have $100+ to spend on one lp. 2/3 were quite good too actually.

lol timezones

how was the show?
i went to see Caribou next door, then caught Boris for like 4 songs (door guy let me in for free!) - they are much more "epic" live than i imagined, all the smoke everywhere, and the posturing; it was almost like they were on stage playing Guitar Hero to a Boris record

(not my thing i guess)

akuma no uta not winning is bullshit

Double rerelease ahoy of two of the Merzbow collaborations, Klatter and 04092001:

https://borismerzbow.bandcamp.com/music

Are those both new or reissues?
