I'd already listened to this a few times, but put it on again. I'm actually very impressed. It doesn't get redundant or boring, which was one of my concerns prior to listening, and it effectively evokes a unique atmosphere.

Definitely worth a listen or ten.

Boris - Pink (2005)
A more accessible and rock-orientated album compared to the other Boris album I've heard, Flood. I wish more bands would record albums like this, with practically zero production and sounding like a live wire on the loose. There's still some slow, sludgy moments to break up the raw, noisy rock and roll onslaught and overall is good album from beginning to end. Listen to it good and loud.

^ That's a nice one, but my favorite from them is easily Feedbacker. It's much more droney but it's sublime.

PS: I wasn't a fan of Flood.

Flood is pretty good although it's very drawn-out. With four tracks in one hour and ten minutes you're always going to lose your patience. But overall there is a nice ambience and flow to the album, it seems to get darker as it progresses.

That's what's so strange about it. Feedbacker is very similar yet I love it.

Just got in on the metal scene; disturbed; 10000 fists? Serious business if you ask me.

Gauntlet Hair - Gauntlet Hair

This album definitely hits a sound that has been popular with indie the last few years...I think if there is a defining sound of the late 00's/early 10's, this would be it. Vocals and guitars drenched in reverb and a very atmospheric sound. Where a band like Animal Collective takes that kind of sound and gets more and more abstract with it, these guys stay fairly grounded. That's not to say there aren't plenty of great psychedelic moments, though. Great album.

This sounds interesting, I might give it a listen.

I've also been meaning to get into Of Montreal, anyone have any suggestion where to start with them?
