A superb execution of Boris's genre-bending style. The perfect amount of drone, sludge, stoner rock, and post-rock sum up the band in one effortless single-take release.

This is pretty similar to Pink, but more concise. The pacing here is better as well. The blistering noise rock is tighter, and the epic track is groovier, though it lacks the punch 'Farewell' had. All in all, a fantastic guitar record.

Going through the entire discography and this has aged much worse than anything before it.

"Introduction" is a great drone track and the closer ("Akuma no Uta") is a nice example of static-laced sludge rock, but otherwise Akuma No Uta is fairly underwhelming. The rest of the album is basically rockin' sludge, but the rhythm guitars are so low in the mix that they don't allow the rest of the album to be as rockin' as clearly intended. The drums boom and the lead guitar screeches over everything else, making the mix seem lopsided. It's frustrating because it's obvious these songs are pretty good; they just don't sound like it the way the album was organized.
