May 23, 2011In sum, Attention Please, with Wata's haunting vocals at the fore, is the most unusual and easily approachable recording on Boris' shelf, if not its best.
-
May 20, 2011Attention Please at least offers something fresh for Boris.
-
May 25, 2011Attention Please, with its quieter strangeness and its refusal to play down the middle where the guitar and drums will go -- in effect, its skirting around heavy music -- is a much more interesting place for the band to go.
-
MojoNov 22, 2011Affirms that Boris can bench-press myriad weighty sub-genres in their sleep. [Aug. 2011, p. 92]
-
May 31, 2011Attention Please is the first to feature just guitarist Wata on vocals. Her breathlessly beautiful singing style calls to mind classic Stereolab on the title track and one of My Bloody Valentine's more sublime moments on 'Hope'.
-
May 24, 2011It doesn't always hold the attention that its title demands, but it makes for a sweet, icy dessert after Heavy Rocks' rib-sticking meatiness.
-
May 24, 2011Farther into the cosmos is sister record Attention Please, the least "metal" thing the band have released to date, which focuses on icy rhythms and smoky moods, as if they're slinking up alongside the xx.
-
May 27, 2011Here, the band focuses on building atmosphere and creating interesting soundscapes rather than high-volume noise. This is rare: quiet Boris.
-
May 27, 2011Attention Please makes them into something more profound: an often puzzling albeit enthralling and super-malleable "fuck you" to the safety of classification.
-
Jun 8, 2011It's poppy, it's quirky, but it's also shrouded in forebodingness and unease. When the group achieves that sort of balance, AttentionPlease is close to perfect. The album fails when there is too much dance, too much party.
-
May 26, 2011If nothing else, Attention Please proves Boris can do this softer pop-informed rock, but ultimately it holds more untapped potential than success.
-
May 25, 2011For anyone bored of being bored of being bored, strap this one on and ride away.
-
Jul 1, 2011Heavy Rocks arrives in the marketplace along with Attention Please, a lower-key companion album that showcases the coolly resigned singing of lead guitarist Wata. Surprised? Don't be.
-
May 27, 2011Attention Please could not be further away from Heavy Rocks. The album is characterized by elegant violin, delicate vocals and dreamy guitar distortion.
-
May 24, 2011Stunning.
