Pink

Feels like slowly wandering through empty, sludgy, dark, evil forests of doom and decay, guitars so goddamn chuggy and fuzzed out and distorted it’s incomprehensible. The sheer dark and fuzzy and distorted and feedbacked out chugginess of the shoegaze and doom metal inspired songs act as experiences, while the more high tempo upbeat, still incredibly distorted, noisy, chuggy, riffs of some other songs on the album are bangers that truly hit different that most noise rock, reminding me of uptempo Black Sabbath or Judas Priest. I keep saying it, but the sheer sludgyness and chunky chugginess of riffs and dark power chords sound like they are covered in layers and layers of pure sludgy chug noise. Pieces especially like Farewell, Blackout, and Just Abandoned Myself are the highlights regarding the sludgy, chuggy, noisy, and certain slow pieces of shoegaze, doom metal, and black metal inspired noise rock that I want from Boris. I listened, reviewed, and rated Flood pretty recently, and I gotta say that I like Pink more a little bit as an album, Flood is more of a one sitting, one song experience, and it didn’t really have as much noise rock as I really wanted, however, it still is an incredible album and experience. Also, I think Flood may or may not be overshadowed a very tiny bit by Feedbacker, the next project by Boris I will review (P.S. Get ready for Rock Dream as well). In conclusion, this album is a cornerstone of noise rock, with 2 sides of this incredible album experience, the absolutely chuggy, fuzzed out and distorted, slow, pummeling and crashing, slow doom metal, black metal, stoner rock and even no wave inspired noise rock that crashes and pummels with a combination of the guitar, incredibly distorted and slow and chuggy, with amazing vocals, and the upbeat and high tempo, pumping bangers of Judas Priest style heavy metal, and to be only 47 minutes and have an album be such an experience is truly a feat of human accomplishment. Also, Just Abandoned Myself is so far, and maybe for a long time, the best Japanese noise rock piece I have ever listened to, and it sounds like the complete apocalypse or battling an intense internal conflict like manic depression and what plays in your mind while you’re battling everything that’s going on in your mind, and I think that the time is definitely rewarding and Just Abandoned Myself is the best Japanese noise rock piece I ever have listened to, I honestly can’t put it into words how it truly can embody everything in chaos in a song in the best way possible. Absolutely adore this album, and I think it is one of the biggest benchmarks in Noise Rock, probably for me the greatest noise rock album ever created by humankind.
