The Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun

This is the perfect band for anyone disenchanted with music. I can't promise they will do for you what they do for me, but at the very least you will have heard something different, and that's no small thing. Tribal rhythms vie with rock guitars and synthesizers for prominence, and it all gives way to straight out noise at times, but it is never noise intended to annoy as the "conceptual violence" of their earlier records was, but instead the noise of spiritual striving. Always striving, but never quite reaching consummation, making each repeat listen open to new possibilities.
