I live for the opening riff of Into the Void

Bangers all throughout

This is a very simple album, both musically and lyrically. I understand Rivers' desire to move into a more mainstream territory after Pinkerton's rough reception at the time, but it doesn't help this album's case to know that it came in succession to one of the rawest rock records of the 90s.
Nothing here is horrible, or even outright bad, I would say, but also, very few tracks make me want to revisit the album.

Great stuff.
This is the first Boris album I've ever listened to, and I'm not disappointed at all. This album is like an hamburger mashed in-between a perfect intro track and a perfect outro track, with some of the most high energy and noisy metal I've heard in a while. And, for how intense it is, it can actually get quite relaxing and ambient, especially with Farewell and My Machine.
I'll definitely listen to more material from this band in the near future.
