BORIS AT LAST -FEEDBACKER-

LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM WITH HEADPHONES

Feedbacker is one of the many masterpieces by Japanese eclectic metal band Boris. Listening to this album feels like being lost in fog/ a wall of sound especially the intro track, the song being a 9 minute build up to the rest of the album it may seem long but it's worth it. Part 2 has a more traditional Post Rock type sound going on and one of the most emotional sounding guitar solos I've ever heard, at the 8:14 timestamp the guitar solo starts and man it's something, I'd say it's just as emotional as Watermelon In Easter Hay or Maggot Brain. Part 3 is a full on Punk song, a genre the band will experiment with every now and then. Part 4 goes for an almost Blackgaze sound before the fifth and final part that is just the ending track that calms the suite down. Really I don't know what else to say, this album is beautiful and is essentially a combination of all the bands previous sounds, if your new with Boris then I heavily recommend you start here

Boris(Boris's?) album Feedbacker is what I'd consider to be a masterpiece of prog/drone/psych/punk and noise rock music and while Boris is no stranger to these styles of music the styles presented here are at there most mature sound there most complete and definitive sound and is in my opinion the band's best work. Nothing but raw power and emotion flow though this record like on the introduction track here, it's a nine minute drone that builds and builds up until the second track that it flows into, and let me just say that Feedbacker Part 2 has become one of my favorite songs ever, it's this slow psychedelic drone that is honestly just plain beautiful it's repetitive but you don't get tired of it. The songs is colored with slashes of psychedelic effects and then my favorite part of the song is the guitar solo and man it's insanely emotional it sounds like it's trying to be calm yet aggressive at the same time and in my opinion is one of the most emotional pieces of music I've ever heard and this song is completely instrumental then after that calm ordeal the album gets very aggressive again but this time it peaks with a punk/shoegaze (and lots of wah effects) sound jerking you around with the song calming down and jumping up in aggression again and the band's influences (specifically The Melvins) shine here with an almost grunge-y sound. Then part four is easily the noisiest track on here before the track turns into what honesty sounds like metal scraping against each other almost reminds me of something of a Swans or Nurse With Wound record. The song flows into part five and were given a reprise of the melody from part two before getting some changes and the song just perfectly wraps up the album. This multi part album is a MUST for any metal, prog, drone, punk, psych or noise fan and I hope this site brings more people to listen to this masterpiece
