Boris - Flood REACTION/REVIEW

[@alalulu4503]

Post rock fans when after 10 minutes of intro a new sound appeared: 🤯🤯🤯

[@kyesi_mus1c365]

i love me a good chord change after 12 hours of the same note 🔥

[@casulukmc]

Literally me 😂

[@talktalk33]

you should listen to boris's another album called pink. very heavy, fast and it is very easy to get into.

[@dogmanbitehurt8243]

I used to pray for times like this

[@MrBaumGeo]

Meek mill?

[@mememan3799]

Audibly said fuck yes, first. Let’s go Smag, Metal Smags is best Smags

[@mogwaibalenciaga]

also just something to add for wider context (i might be way off base though) the albums name, flood, and the musical movements within, relate to the devastation (both material and emotional) of disasters in japan

[@Wilppu.]

Listen to Atomizer by Big Black, its a classic 80's industrial post punk album and Big Black was also one of Steve Albini's 4 bands

[@inaijik]

1:44 flood I 5:28 flood II 9:52 flood III 15:23 flood IV 19:02 ending thoughts/ analysis

[@Rll_2206]

Omg you don’t know how happy I am when I saw you reacting to another Boris album. The next one you should check out is Akuma No Uta. It’s really the best place to start if you wanna get into Boris. It has a bit of everything that the band is known for. After that Pink and Heavy Rocks 2002 are must listens.

[@cousinbocephus8226]

Boris named themselves after a song made by Melvins, which is one of the heaviest songs ever conjured on this earth. Melvins is criminally underappreciated and overlooked by so many people for unknown reasons. They are MONOLITHIC in sound just like Boris is here. Bullhead, Houdini, and Lysol are a must listen for anyone who likes MASSIVE guitar tone. They are also credited as being the ones who created (or influenced the creation of) sludge metal.

[@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541]

Some really needed metal recommendations Tool: Aenima Megadeth: Peace Sells and Rust in Peace Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power Metallica: Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets Judas Priest: Painkiller Faith no More - Angel Dust Deftones - Around The Fur Type O Negative: Octuber Rust Agalloch - The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain Isis - Panopticon Death - Honestly, every album by them from the 90's is goated, but Symbolic is a very welcoming album for people who have no experience with death metal Opeth - Damnation, Ghost Reveries and Blackwater Park Gojira - From Mars to Sirius These are some very iconic and easy albums to listen if you don't have a lot of prior experience with the genre, i feel it's really important to start with some of these as it can ease you up for the harsher stuff that you'll find by the lots, have fun

[@thed00merguy]

+1 on Panopticon

[@cousinbocephus8226]

No Melvins?

[@Leftyenby]

My fav Boris record!!! >w< I heard it a bit over a year ago and it blew my mind UwU

[@Tylerlyndon]

The Lamb as Effigy by Sprain is in a way similar to this album in its mixture of super heavy, crushing guitar sounds and gorgeous & meditative moments, highly recommended

[@sprainposting]

YESSSSS lamb is my favorite album ever he would fw it hard

[@nuke9915]

that reaction to the guitar coming in during part 2, i literally out loud said "oh, he GETS it." a great album, and seeing you experience it for the first time and enjoy and understand it... feels good. definitely dropping a sub.

[@XaviXaviXaviOfficlatl]

Idk if someone already said this before but i would recommend listening to natural snow buildings they are mostly a drone, dark ambient, post rock, free and psych folk band, they got an album called the winter ray and its purely just post rock ambient and drone and its one of the most beautiful listening experiences i ever had, it sounds like exploring a nuclear winter fallout and finding remnants of the past when disaster hadnt happened 10/10 from my part another album from theirs is The dance of the moon and the sun which i kinda compare to STFB by swans but has more of a central theme and its offers alot more psych folk post rock and dronier elements to it, however almost all albums frome theirs are kinda long spanning 2 hours minimum lol especially with daughter of darkness being 7 and a half hours long

[@drvnknbttrfly]

I SECOND THIS FAM

[@dirtyralphspeaks]

FUCK. YES. SMAGS. THE GOAT.

[@fudgie467]

Smags I think that I would explode with excitement if you ever reacted to D'Angelo's Voodoo. It may be the best album ever made, you will LOVE IT.

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Perfect album.

[@ThatrandomIdiot-qb5ui]

Chocolate and cheese next NOW!!

[@bryan9406]

agreed

[@j.prt.979]

yes

[@MrBaumGeo]

Yes!!!!

[@EatTheRich1234]

I really really enjoy Boris even though I only listen to their stuff from 2008 and before. It's hard picking a favorite album, but this one might be it for me. Wata is one of my favorite guitarists. I love not only the technical ability and tonal range, but how emotive she is with her playing. They really know how to create an energy and an atmosphere. Flood definitely has layers emotionally, but it's a beautiful album I always look forward to experiencing again. Definitely check out Pink by them next. It has post-rock elements, but it's really an amalgamation of every genre they've done at that point. It's a big mix of post-rock, noise rock, hard rock, stoner metal, sludge metal, doom metal and psychedelic rock. A very cool and unique listen. The intro to the album, Farewell, is their best song imo. Keep up the great work Smags!

[@loudbill]

Gotta react to Akuma No Uta next. Flood is my favorite Boris album, but Akuma No Uta is a VERY close second. Gives you everything you want in an album

[@violetjune5046]

Great review of this. Flood was one of the first albums along with Mount Eerie and The Seer that taught me the virtue of long form story telling with sound. Hearing this was sort of a revelation. I remember being annoyed with part 1 the first time I heard it to the point where I just turned it off. It wasn't until a few months later when I pushed through it and heard the majesty of the entire record that it clicked and gave me a new found appreciation for minimalism and these sort of slow moving slow changes.

[@nathanhunt3104]

The Sundays - Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.

[@popsodaman1911]

warning: jumpscare at 3:47 (also would love a reaction to Uchū Nippon Setagaya by Fishmans, a lot of there best songs are here)

[@bull4960]

YESSSSSS

[@turqdeth]

would be incredible

[@Michael-wp2bp]

The live version of this is worth doing a seperate reaction for, it's available on their Bandcamp.

[@Michael-wp2bp]

This song actually is on Spotify, under podcasts

[@mrsiresir250]

great video, love seeing people react to this album! And If ur up for the challenge you should listen to "rock dream" by Boris and Merzbow, it's just under an 2 hours of the best Boris (all of feedbacker + some songs from pink + some songs from akuma no uta and more (but sadly no flood). it is with Merzbow who is added on for more noise, it's one of the best albums ever (in my opinion) and maybe the best thing to come from Boris overall.

[@DolaBill]

Flood and feedbacker feel like an endless journey of chaos and melancholia, its an interesting listening experience Album/Ep recommendations Sadness - Rose/Lavender Bloomer - Butterfly World Turquoisedeath - Se Bueno Parannoul & Fax Gang - Scattersun

[@toomuchmustard3067]

among the greatest albums ever made, love you for this one

[@mevton7972]

I'm back to again recommend the album Kagayaki by Masakatsu Takagi. It's some of the most life affirming and calming folk / classical music ever made. Think Windswept Adan but instead of the guitars it's some of the best piano arrangements ever written.

[@satchelharris3051]

Smags more like swags I loved your comments on long term gratification in music, spot on

[@severancedenied]

Close enough, lets get that Converge - Jane Doe reaction on a fr note, love this album. it’s soso beauitful

[@BreakthroughGD]

yes yes yes yes

[@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541]

Love this record, but hasn't even heard slayer, don't know if he's prepared for Jane Doe

[@BreakthroughGD]

@@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541 good point

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Phenomenal album. Boris doesn't miss. So many albums of theirs are worth exploring in detail - it's hard to pick which ones to listen to next - Akuma no Uta has one of their best individual songs IMO (Naki Kyoku) - totally mind-blowing.

[@sprainposting]

holy shit I'm at work but this made my day i will watch this as soon as possible

[@dj_matty]

Recs: Third Eye Blind - Self-Titled Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway Parannoul - After the Magic clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned (also on the topic of Boris please react to Pink at some point it actually goes unfathomably hard)

[@Torrancee]

smags would definitely love VOBBB

[@minimummaximum5755]

Benji make for a better reaction video.

[@Lmaoh5150]

Been waiting for a GotGH reaction 🤞

[@skylofttheshadowcast4636]

Love your reaction when the distorted guitar first comes in. It's easy to clown on but there really is nothing like something like that hitting you after the music has spent so long lulling you into a meditative state. Also, if we're talking long-form meditative single-song post-metal albums (one of my favourite genders fr), Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch is really something

[@mycawild]

Omg i did triple take to make sure this is real and I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have (Best Album Ever)

[@ZenixRulez]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

[@enmysune]

PLEASEEE do the lamb as effigy by sprain, post rock doesn't get much better than that

[@Ben-dg2ik]

Some recs(if you haven’t done them already) -Endtroducing by dj shadow -In Colour Jamie xx -In rainbows Radiohead -Wish you were here Pink Floyd -Lahai sampha -House of balloons the weekend

[@TheRealChiefBeef]

The intro, as repetitive as it is, is such an amazing palette cleanser, it makes everything that comes after it so much fresher.

[@artvandeIay]

I second the comment that said Atomizer by Big Black that album rules and it got added to spotify recently

[@r.i.p.036]

so uh could you please check out "oh rap I yah" by George Clanton or "after the magic" by Parannoul or "Drive home" by Portraits of Tracy. thanks gang

[@jyjjy7]

[@geodadi1969]

holy shit I love this album so much

[@IGP510]

Boris has an album, Dronevil, where both sides are meant to be played simultaneously. Thankfully it was eventually mixed into one, Dronevil -Final-, and I feel it's the natural next step in experiencing the band's doomier offerings.

[@illcuin40]

please listen to pink by boris next ! it strays away from the post-rock aesthetic, but it’s still an amazing project !

[@brontar7258]

YESSSS MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kostas_shoegaze]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@maxmiller1950]

Panopticon by Isis!! It’s heavy as fuck and super beautiful!! Edit: also I watch your videos in the shower

[@MiniBlob75]

very cool! next in the boris discography should probably either ampifier worship, pink och akuma no uta :) all the best!

Joey Duran - feet always cold ( 5 hrs and 11 minutes and composed of 10 tracks) But really good

[@MrBaumGeo]

Yeah, let's not hype up too many recent releases.. but it is really good

[@KeyCobra4515]

Wow already? Great job guys!

[@cwoveryy]

absolutely loved watching this reaction ! flood is awesome and one of the coolest albums i’ve ever heard, if you like post-rock that’s really noisy and hypnotic i would highly suggest listening to the lamb as effigy by sprain. it’s my favorite album of all time and it’s incredibly well written and genuinely just one of the coolest albums ever created. you will not regret listening to it !! ❤

[@leejjjjjjj1]

you have such great taste!!!

[@ebdubs6186]

goated album, too bad not on streaming

[@Michael-wp2bp]

Spotify, as a podcast.

[@yaboyegreja7750]

​@@Michael-wp2bpnot fully I think

[@Michael-wp2bp]

@yaboyegreja7750 just checked, it's still there in full but split across 4 episodes, just que them up one after another and you get the full track

[@yaboyegreja7750]

@@Michael-wp2bp No, not fully because each track are cut short. Flood 3 is 15 minutes when in reality it's 20

Appreciate your content as always. I would love it if you did Joyce Manor’s Never Hung Over again. Truly one of the best new gen emo albums

[@cruf9376]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@kellocko]

❤❤❤ you should listen to two airships/exploder falls by candy claws ‼️that album has guitars too

[@TheCinnyBun]

YESSSSSSSS THANK YOU

[@ibuprofriends]

never listened to boris before this but that intro was egregious 😂

[@mr.dirtydan3338]

Should check out listening suicidal - BoAt. Its fun japanese post hardcore. Or phases and stages by willie nelson.

[@meekcomplete211]

If you want to re-listen, I'd reccomend the version on KZbin on the channel Heavensend with ~117k views. It's better sound quality and doesn't have the hard stops between the movements

[@elunelle1174]

if u want more metal u might like From Mars To Sirius by Gojira or Symbolic by Death those are both favorites of mine

[@hitrx8825]

Boris is my favorite band and Wata is my favorite guitarist but another guitarist i like is King krule and he has this albuum callled Six Feet Beneath the moon which i think you should react to

[@TomWGuitar]

For a more digestible, hard-rocking side of Boris, listen to 'Pink'

[@zackster5449]

Chocolate and cheese by Ween!

[@bug7130]

you should listen to Refrain by Boris. its an amazing 33 minute song with post rock styles and droney elements. a must listen imo

[@jorgebarrientosmejia7059]

its on spotify as podcast

[@lemmmakestunes8312]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

[@murseaboris6075]

If you loved that check out the album pink by Boris

[@ianmendoza6816]

"this edible ain't shi-" ah type of album gotta hit you with some recommendations: Quiet Life by Japan The Smile Sessions by The Beach Boys anything from Stevie Wonder's classic period

[@dragan_estevest5477]

You should review some of Xiu Xiu's work. Either Girl With Basket of Fruit or A Promise :)

BORIS FLOOD RAAAAAAAHHHH plis listen swans are dead i begging you🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@vodrek6569]

bro pls make one on dino jr🙏🙏

[@riskyfueI]

Hell yes, Flood is an all timer. Hope you give Boris' Pink a listen eventually, much more traditional metal/rock than this, but it has some crazy shit throughout.

[@westsouthcentral]

Would love to see you react to By the Time I Get To Phoenix by Injury Reserve. It’s got a compelling back story and is guaranteed to make you go WTF! on multiple occasions. Some have described it as “post-rap”.

[@pixelgun7250]

the first ten minutes of this song really weeds out 90% of listeners getting into this raw w/o any context. Please do yourself a favor and listen to some slacker rock... Bee thousand OR Alien lane tapes both by guided by voices and exile in guyville by liz phair

[@beepst]

Don Caballero - American Don!

[@emc9029]

I'M WIDE AWAKE, ITS MORNING - BRIGHT EYES PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(at least tell me when pls)

THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT

[@jurkyms]

PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE listen to vision creation newsun by boredoms, you will NOT be dissapointed, it's the most mindfucking album on history

[@totallynotasael5464]

I recommend “Squeeze” by SASAMI, the intro might be a bit too much, but after that, the other songs are AMAZING

[@kanetrain18]

Would love for you to react to Wonder whats next by Chevelle. One of the most underrated rock bands of the past 2 decades
