ah Boris. drone/psych/metalers that are all virtuosos at their instruments and who love to collaborate with people (and sometimes those collaborations are even good!). fucking crushingly heavy at times, others full of radiant beauty. but, they are absolutely at their best when dealing out loads of shimmering feedback, which is why i am posting this album (my favorite of their's), "Feedbacker." technically one long ass song, it is captivating and brilliant, showing that they can not only deal out the punishment, but also the beauty and still remain very japanese in sound. Wata shreds whenever she is not doling out walls of noise (a combination of an e-bow and boss feedbacker pedal does wonders!), Takeshi shreds that double necked geetar better than sting ever could dream of, and Atsuo is one of the most solid drummers i've ever seen/heard.
this is a document of the core trio at their very best. if you like this album, you can handle all their albums and collaborations (though some of the dronier stuff, like the sunn 0)) collabs will bore you).
oh, and don't bother watching the live dvd of this album/song. it's a great performance but it is shot terribly and cut together worse. it never stays on a single shot longer than 10 seconds and you never get to see any of the members really shred. it almost made me seasick when i watched it.
