FLOOD

Flood, a prog album for the patient. Like "FEEDBACKER" this album is one large song split into multiple parts but unlike "FEEDBACKER" this is much, much much more slower paced, the first track here is a math rock riff that repeats for TEN MINUTES so i hope you enjoy that riff before some sound effects come in and to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of Flood Part 1, and I like Post Rock but I just find the opening track to be waaaayyy to repetitive, not bad I'm sure if your listening to Boris you probably already like Post Rock/Metal but I'm just not into this specific track part two on the other hand has repetition as well but I enjoy it much more the track starts off with these indie like riffs its super relaxing and lasts about five minutes but I like it quite a bit, the second half of the song has some slight change to build up to part three continues the slow acoustic riffing until the metal comes in and after almost 30 minutes of waiting the album gets heavy with this grunge like passage that sounds a lot like THE MELVINS which makes sense considering the band was heavily influenced by them and was the wait worth it? I'd say yes. Part 4 is more metal stuff with some cool soloing at the beginning midway it gets more ambient and drones off into the next part, this track is more ambiance which isn't bad but highlights my problem with the album is that there's too much ambiance, and while it's not bad I'm just left with wanting more metal and the album feels just wishy washy to me, I know that the experience is supposed to have a rollercoaster like structure with the middle being the peak but I'm not into, again I want more metal, but don't let this discourage this album is a monster and a great one at that, is it my personal favorite? No but is it still good yes! Yes it is overall Flood is a great album and an...interesting addition to a prog collection
