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

DUDES THEY ARE PLAYING DOWN THE STREET TONIGHT and i didn't even know.

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

I saw them in Bristol back in July. It was excellent and, yes, pretty epic and stagey, even in the small, oddly shaped bar they were playing. Drummer stage diving off the stack into the crowd during the final feedback squall was a particular highlight.

Glasgow was the only gig of the tour where Atsuo didn't stage dive! We did get a thank you from Wata though. The last track they played, Flood, really is the best 40 mins of a concert ever though.

Hari saw Boris play england the year before (no scottish date) and I have friends who travelled to leeds a few years back when they played Feedbacker.

i missed this thread the first time, and may not have voted anyway since i've only heard three of the records.

but between 'pink' and 'heavy rocks', both of which i own, 'heavy rocks' seems to stand out as the superior release. in fact, it sort of feels like all the boris i need. i much prefer the slower grooving stuff to the faster material though.

i like the sound of 'sludgy'. so i guess absolutego should be the next port of call

it was a great show! favorite i saw last year.

Get Absolutego,Flood, Amplifier Worship and Akuma No Uta. Then move onto Feedbacker and Dronevil.

saw Boris at ATP festival in december, abiding memory is of one tune sounding like a very slow version of 'The Final Countdown' by Europe.

cheers herman

The Solomon lps are awesome but sadly expensive(i dont even have the 1st).
Archive cds are terrific but might cost you $200 so just download them when you get Solomon 1 2 and 3. There's 2 versions of Vein so d/l them too unless you can get them cheap.

I hate their single-track CDs (Absolutego, Flood). The new one is really good - I have both the U.S. and Japanese versions, and they really are totally different albums. I also like Pink and Heavy Rocks, and Amplifier Worship is pretty good. Still haven't heard Akumo No Uta or the Haino collaboration.

I don't get why people put Akuma on such a pedestal. I think Akuma & Pink do similar things, and I think Pink does them better.

There might be another day within the next decade that I feel like hearing Absolutego again. But I finally heard Heavy Rocks, holy crap! Great stuff, I never even knew about that album. It's not even listed on AMG. If you look under singles, it lists Japanese Heavy Rock Hits, Vol. 1 to be released on Southern Lord on 9/29. Is it the same thing? There's nothing about it on the Southern Lord site, and nothing else comes up about the album on google.

Still no info on possibly Heavy Rocks reissue. Not one Amazon seller has it. Someone in Spain is selling it on Gemm for $165. Ridiculous.

If Feedbacker is my favorite and Akuma drives me nuts, what do I need next? Flood? I have and like Dronevil too...

Flood and Absolutego

Amplifier Worship

I'm glad to see folks checking out Heavy Rocks and realising it pisses all over the pitchfork approved Pink and Smile albums.

Picked up the 1st "Heavy Rock Hits" 45 the other day. Doesn't sound a damn thing like Heavy Rocks. Sounds like the band actually playing the kind of fucked up heavy pop that Kurihara producerized em into on the Japanese version of Smile. Good but not great.

Ishihara. You Ishihara produced Smile. Pretend I said that.

ishihara and kurihara were both in white heaven, bro, it's okay to confuse them.

unless you don't like white heaven
