Didn't realise it was out yet.
It's meant to be out this week, though I got a promo download for review purposes. It's okay. I don't think it's either party's best work. Boris generally seem to have reined in their more extreme / experimental tendencies and it could easily have passed for a new Cult record. But their version of Rain, with Wasa on breathy whispered vocals is really good, and the last track works as a huge, apocalyptic ballad, but the first two songs are fairly standard chugging rockers, perfectly listenable, but nothing you haven't heard a million times before.
Hoping for some good joint live shows though, and I think it would still be worthwhile to take the collaboration further. These feel like tentative first steps.
