Absolutely awesome new Boris release and probably the most complete cross section of what Boris are capable of. ‘Pink’ was released in 2005 amongst a billion other Boris albums, including live albums, compilations and whatnot, but boy does this one stand out. The album is pretty much split into two styles – Sleep/Electric Wizard/Sabbath-esque‘stoner rock’ (yeah, I hate that term too) and massive low-end drone sludge workouts (think Absolutego). Probably ranking as some of there finest work in these styles. ‘Pink’ starts with a coasting drum beat and warm feedback that sounds like post-rock, but after no less than a minute the heavy, filthy and dirty sound Boris is so well known for kicks in. The second track is the first stoner track with a filthy-as-hell guitar tone and for the rest of the album, the sludgier songs share the spotlight with the more stoner stuff. Highly recommended and definitely worth the import price.
