Amazing album as ever. And oh, Japanese version all the way!! It's almost a different album compared to the US release, jap version it's waaay noisier, crazier and experimental.

THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT RELEASES AND TRACK LISTINGS FOR THIS ALBUM MAKES MY HEAD HURT WHY DO JAPANESE BANDS HAVE TO BE SO CONFUSING

Flower, Sun, Rain. Next Saturn. Dead Destination. You Put Up Your Umbrella. Untitled.



This sequence of songs on the Japanese version have never failed to leave me in awe. Possibly my

favourite work by Boris. The first three songs work well as a warm-up/palette cleanser.

I completely forgot about this album. Boris have so many damn albums and most of them are consistently good.

The us version and the Japanese one sound completely different. Like two separate albums. Their duration is different, even the release date is different. Maybe there should be two "Smile" albums in their database. What do you guys think ?

The last track is such a huge sonic masterpiece. One of their best songs.

I have the double CD reissue. I like it a lot more actually because it has both versions, and they’re heavily condensed so you don’t have to wade through a lot of the unnecessary noise to get to the good parts.
