1. Absolutego - Droning. Droning. Droning and droning and droning. Then heavy distortion. Yup. It's definitely Japanese metal. Anyways, it gets pretty heavy. But as with any hour-long song, there's not much to it. Can't say I enjoy it that much. Towards the middle, it gets a bit sludgy. Eww. But as long as you're fine getting dirty, there's nothing wrong with it. It's not incredibly great musicianship, but I think it's pretty great that a few people sat down in a room for an hour and just played music. That's dedication. It's not terribly boring either, so if you're into sludge, you might like the middle part. And then, droning and droning and droning. The high pitch lowers a bit, and after another 30 seconds, it's over. Alrighty then. It's not really any good unless you decide to skip a few parts, so, overall, not very good.
OVERALL RATING: 4/10
Alright, go for it, Batty. |
Don't let that turn you off to Boris though, they do a lot more than just drone. Some of their newer albums touch on shoegaze, stoner metal, and crust punk. Great band all around and one of my favorites. Amplifier Worship is better if you want to try the drone again, and it's actually extremely good. Really varies in sound compared to other drone releases. I will warn you though, it's pretty sludgy. Nothing wrong with a little sludge though.
