Oops, my bad

Alrighty, so in my last entry I said that I had previously reviewed Boris's most recent album, Pink. I was wrong, that was a different blog. So here is said review, though slightly modified. First off, now I can use actual song titles since I now have the proper translations. Second thing, in addition to the doomy noise at the end of the final song, "Just Abondoned My-Self", there were two other droning tracks. One of them, "Blackout" is an interesting little chunk of feedback. The other, "Afterburner", just meanders and drags on. There are also two soft rock tracks, album opener "Farewell" being kind of in the vein of "Naki Kyoku" on Akuma no Uta and "My Machine" just being a short interlude. The rest of the of songs are straight out rocking. Title track "Pink" followed by "Woman on the Screen" kick things off with a hell of a punch. The echo-y snare drum in the back of "Electric" is impossible not to stomp your foot too. ""Pseudo-Bread" is another head banger with the only lyrics I understand (which are "Ooohhh" and "Ooo-hoo", words in the universal language of rock and roll), and "Just Abondoned My-Self" closes things off with a massive mix of a rocking drone. Or a droning rock, whichever way you want to look at it. Almost perfect. The cover seems to have been changed as well. The cover of the Japanese release a decent shade of bright pink, not like the faded shit Death From Above 1979 used on You're a Woman, I'm a Machine. The colour is more faded this time around, but there is nifty artwork this time. Looks like something out of Renaissance Europe and religious themed, but I couldn't tell ya more then that.

Here it is, reasonably accessible in North America. Go and buy this album people! I cannot think of a more highly recommendable album. If you like music that has it's roots in rock 'n roll, you will like this album.
