Flood is the third studio album by Japanese experimental band Boris, released on December 15, 2000. It consists of a single 70-minute title-track that is broken into four movements.
While Flood did not receive many reviews upon release, it has become a cult classic among fans, prompting the band to play it in its entirety every night of their 2013 US-based "Residency Tour".[2]
Part I begins with mechanical white noise and features a single looping guitar lick duplicated with two slightly different speeds, allowing it to de-synchronize and synchronize again over the course of about 11 minutes. Reverberating explosions build throughout.
Part II is slow and ambient with lo-fi drums and features an extended guitar solo using the lick from Part I as a motif.
Part III builds to the album's climax of repeating riffs, vocals and another guitar solo. Part IV is an ambient minimalist track ending in white noise.
