love boris but barebones kinda whooped em here. their riffs go so hard and their whole side of the split is a lot more memorable and enjoyable, even though boris’ is by absolutely no means bad. definitely worth checking out overall as this is some great stoner/sludge metal action.

Boris discography run-Part 1
A very fun EP. I don’t particularly like the vocals, it can be a bit repetitive and there is some low points but there’s also a lot to like. Nearly all the songs are energetic and lively with one standout and the instrumentals are just amazing. Overall, good EP.

First half is fine I guess
Second half is also just nothing special
it's overall just fine I guess
