Review by SilentScream213 for Boris - Boris at Last -Feedbacker- (2003)

According to The Infallible Denizens of RateYourMusic Dot Com, as of writing this review in the early winter of January 2026, “Boris at Last -Feedbacker-” is the *checking charts* 13th greatest Metal album of all time, and if recent years are anything to judge by, still rising. 

Here’s what I can tell you. Is this album one of the top 13 Boris albums of all time? Yeah, probably. Out of the ones I’ve heard, it’s easily one of their better albums, but they have like 69 albums so I can’t say for sure yet. Is it one of the top 13 Drone Metal albums of all time? Well, again, this album is labeled as a Drone Metal album by The Infallible Denizens of RateYourMusic Dot Com despite not having a single Drone Metal song on it, so, no, but if it counts, then it would possibly have a fair shot.

Boris at Last -Feedbacker- is inoffensive. It’s decent background noise. It does feature one guitar solo that is actually quite good. It features zero good riffs. It features zero interesting drumming, but the hypnotic, repetitive drumming on “Untitled” (2) works in the song’s favor. It features some vocals, but they aren’t special in any way, and most of the time they aren’t there. It probably features bass, but it didn’t do anything interesting. Sometimes the fuzzy, noisy textures are decent, often they are boring and entirely unevocative. “Untitled” (2) has a little bit of nice build up and progression in it, every other song goes absolutely nowhere, but “Untitled” (3) makes up for it a little by being the only song with a modicum of energy.

Instead of “Boris at Last -Feedbacker-” being in the top 13 Metal albums of all time, here are 13 Metal albums that I prefer to “Boris at Last -Feedbacker-” :

St. Anger – Metallica

Battles – In Flames (5-star album by the way)

Forbidden – Black Sabbath

Demolition – Judas Priest

Supercharger – Machine Head

Nation – Sepultura

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet – Avenged Sevenfold

Virtual XI – Iron Maiden

Volume 8 - The Threat Is Real - Anthrax
