Boris - Heavy Rocks

Heavy, intense, fuzzy, rockin' stoner metal album. I like Boris because whatever genre they attempt, the outcome is, at the least, decent.

Heavy Rocks starts off slow and droney with "Heavy Friends", a perfect introduction to the album. Right away, you will be grasped by the production -- raw, noisy, and damn bass-heavy. The riff will destroy you by its extreme weight, and the vocals towards the end are a great way to end the track. Stoner bliss. Beginning the second track, "Korosu", is where the tempo gets boosted. From here on, it's fast-paced stoner fun.

Although there are some not-so-interesting tracks, I truly admire the attitude of this album.

tip: I listened to this at a low volume one time. That sucked. \m/
