5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant, June 6, 2007

I bought this CD a few weeks ago and I literally have to listen to this everyday. It is truly amazing. The first track is perhaps the best opening song on an album I've heard in a long time. This is truly a melding of two musical entities. Do not expect much of the "harsh" Boris or the "weak" Kurihara (a la Sunset nights). This is a masterpiece of distorted psychedelia, chugging in the right places, mellow in others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, January 23, 2008

This album is a beautiful, psychedelic work of art between Boris and Michio Kurihara. From the opening track, this album is pure musical wonderment. It shows just how versatile Boris can be. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpected Album From Boris, December 28, 2008

This album is definitely a highlight in Boris' discography in my view. The typical drone and noise aesthetic is abandoned in favor of a psychedelic blend of intricate, slow, and meandering songs with piercing guitar solos layered on top.

And it is the piercing sound of the guitar that makes this album 4 stars. While I do like it, sometimes the stark contrast between the rest of the music and the guitar seems like the album does not quite fit together properly.

Despite the tone of the guitar, this is one of my most-listened-to albums of late, and I definitely recommend it to fans of Boris (provided they understand it does not quite sound like other Boris) as well as people more accustomed to psychedelic and alternative music.
