Advantages: Upbeat feeling, replayability, originality, experimentation Disadvantages: Some songs really are throwaway
Boris are a Japanese drone/doom metal band formed in 1992. They've released at least 12 full length albums.
THIS album however is very different from the other material that they have released. I suppose spiritually it could be compared to Earth's release "Pentastar: In the style of demons" which isn't quite the same but also is another more 'rock' oriented album from a drone doom act. For those who are unfamiliar with this type of music, I will ... ...riffs, minimalistic vocals, ambient synthesizers, and very little percussion. On the other hand, this album (for the most part) tends towards more experimental and upbeat styles, with thrash and stoner rock being apparent. Vocals are clean and somewhat high pitched, though not overdone.
Strangely though, the first track is very 'drone' like and is also titled 'farewell'. I guess given their other material, they were trying to play some kind of joke ...
