Boris

National Flag

Life... is like a new Boris record... You just never know what you're going to get. After releasing one of the heaviest, most intense, sludge-filled, noise-laden doom albums of all time, they've been rather inconsistent with their recordings. And that's putting it lightly. Most fans will know them for their doom recordings. Only thing is that they are always trying to pull a fast one on the listener. There is always some sort of experimental side to their music (which probably comes in part from the group's most known influence, The Melvins - heck their name is taken from a Melvins song!); so what you are hearing is always rather hard to pin down. From doom, to rock, to practically ambient, to alterno-cheesystuff, there's just no telling what kind of record you are listening to although there is always something quite heavy about them.

Another peculiar thing about Boris is that, not unlike The Residents, the group is conscious that they've achieved cult status and that their fans will buy just about anything they release at any given time. So many recordings have been released in different formats, in limited editions, from different labels, some with extra songs, some without; one of their most recent albums has been released in five different editions and to get every song related to this release, one would have to purchase at least two or three of these. Ridiculous? Yes! But then again, Boris makes, almost without fail, interesting and challenging music. If it's worth getting absolutely everything is a personal choice. I've given up a while ago, but any full length will surely get in my collection.
