Sunn O))) & Boris - Alter

If a record has to be catchy for you to enjoy it, probably don't waste your time with this one. If you enjoy listening to albums whole and have the patience to listen for nuances and enjoy well-executed mood-setting, this is one of the best. A collaboration between two groups (which share some members), Alter is a little less dark than former Sunn O))) albums, but, as usual with these bands, the collaboration isn't exactly the sum of its parts. It's an avant-garde, progressive, dark, meaty album with enough low-frequency waves to shut your brain down, yet its apex seems always just ahead. Let this open the door to noise albums for you; it's one modern manifestation of classical music.
