Which of their albums would you recommend most?

I'm a Flood man.

I only have Pink, but it's good.

NC but those first 2 drone ones Absoluteego and Amplifier Worship as well as the SUNN split are all I've been able to hang with. Every other thing I've got (Flood, Pink, Smile) has stuff that annoys the hell out of me

Second the recommendation of the SUNN split, “Altar”. I like the other records of theirs that I’ve heard, but “Altar” is raised up high, sublime. It’s my favourite SUNN record too.

I love this band, Wata's Riffs are tops.

Definitely not crap, although they’ve certainly released crap albums - I think it’s just the law of averages, with 20 or whatever. The more rock n roll albums are the better ones, plus Altar.

Crap. Competent imitators, but zero soul or personality present. Also rubbish live. Nobody would remotely care if they weren't Japanese, though (to be fair) that kind of finicky cultural regurgitation is very Japanese.

You say a lot of crap things, but this is among the crappiest. You’re entitled to your opinion, misinformed as it is, but the last sentence is complete horseshit.

If I'm so wrong then it should be super easy to say why I'm wrong than resort to ad hominems.

There's lots of retro-minded Japanese bands who do sub-cultural regurgitation with an attention to detail in an unusual way. Are you disputing that? The whole Shibuya-Kei thing in the 90s, the bizarre takes on nearly every extreme rock sub-genre - even Oi:



IMO Boris do this w/ Melvins / Earth style heavy rock / drone. And they suck.
