My thoughts on Boris vary.. they're so prolific its impossible to hear enough of their releases to form an opinion on the band IMO. i do like what ive heard though, which is Pink, Sun Baked Snow Cave and the fantastic Altar.
Altar is a collaboration with Sunn O))), not a Boris release, but yes; it's very good.

I love this band. Heavy Rocks, Dronevil Final, Akuma no Uta, Pink, Rainbow, both versions of Smile and Altar are all solid releases that I listen to regularly.

"Heavy Rocks" and "Flood" have to be my favorite by them thus far. Pretty good Melvins worship band.

well, they are named after a Melvins song... so easy to say so. I know they are, but they still worshipped Melvins.

so I am saying, my comment is based on that fact. If you called your band In Bloom and played a style of music very similar to Nirvana, you will of course be plauged by comparisons to Nirvana, and it would be no secret you started a band because you worshipped them. So my statement is still true in many ways.

One of my all time favourite bands, I love them so much. Seen them live twice, met Atsuo, and have signed tickets, posters, and setlists from him.

I also own Absolutego, Amplifier Worship, Heavy Rocks, Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 3, and their split with Joe Volk, all on vinyl.

This explains so much. Boris have a few ok songs, but they have this tendency towards the terrible, which certainly makes sense - if you model yourself after a godawful band like the Melvins, no amount of talent will help.

I KNEW you'd make a disparaging remark about Boris, but I wasn't expecting one about the Melvins too. Explain thyself, scalawag!
