Boris: Smile

"Listening to this Japanese art-metal band feels a little bit like crashing a compact car into a concrete wall: all crunch and confusion. Boris rallies, aggressively, against notions of genre, and its discography comprises a spectrum of different sounds and approaches; the band’s latest, 'Smile' (Southern Lord), is more temperate and melodic than its predecessors, although it’s hardly dinner party fare" (Amanda Petrusich, "Pop and Rock Listings," New York Times, 8/5/10).
