(1st time I'm buying more than one copy at once haha)

One CD has already found its place, in a family of metalheads: the parents are already fans of the Boss, and of Voivod as well (TOL preferred); when I gave them the s/t album their older son (6 by now) was playing it all the time, headbanging on Gasmask Revival... Now the little monster wants to play drums!

The other one goes to another old friend, who introduced my to Mr Bungle and John Zorn (and Bill Laswell, XLS...) like 15 years ago... he's a barman and DJ, plays a lot of 'Desert Rock' kind of Stoner (QOTSA, Kyuss...)

Oh and I'll bring my own copy at the Café my cousin works in, he'll play it (last time he insisted to play those Cirith Ungol demos - holy shit, he did it but some ppl complained)

Review aus 218 Rock Hard

(41:59) Was für ein Brocken! Das ist das Erste, was einem nach dem ersten Durchlauf von „Prologue“ einfällt. END OF LEVEL BOSS lassen sich weder einer bestimmten musikalischen Kategorie zuordnen, noch drängen sich Vergleiche zu anderen Bands auf. Auch wenn schräge Akkorde, Harmonien und Beats in gewissen Momenten Parallelen zu Voivod heraufbeschwören, rücken tonnenschwere Single-Note-Riffs und spacige Jam-Parts den Sound der Hangnail- und Ex-Flood-Mitglieder in die Nähe des Stoner- und Progrock-Genres. Dazu noch eine Prise Doom, und fertig ist das nonkonforme Meisterwerk. Wem der Drive und die Heaviness des Stoner-Rock zusagen, wen limitiertes Pentatonikgedudel auf Dauer aber langweilt, wer sich gerne durch schwere, doomige Grooves in Parallelwelten fallen lässt, um im nächsten Moment durch progressive Drumparts und schräge Akkorde aus tranceähnlichen Zuständen zurückgerissen zu werden, der kann sich beim nächsten Besuch seines Plattendealers „Prologue“ als Blindkauf eintüten lassen.

ANDREAS HIMMELSTEIN
Note 9/10

Congrats!
Here is my simple translation try:

"What a rock! That's what you think after hearing "Prologue" the first time. Neither you can put END OF LEVEL BOSS in a special musical category nor you have to compare them to other bands. Altough in some moments weird chords, harmonies and beats conjure up parallels to Voivod, ultraheavy single note riffs and spacy jam parts are moving the sound of the Hangnail- and Ex-Flood members near the Stoner and Prog Rock genre. Put a little bit Doom thereto and the nonconform masterpiece is ready. Who likes the drive and the heavyness of Stoner Rock, who is bored by limitated pentatonic tootling, who likes falling in parallel worlds by heavy doomy grooves - just to be beaten back from trance like states in the next moment by progressiv drum parts and weird chords, can buy "Prologue" without checking next time at his record store.

Beautiful shirt and man.......I've only listened to the first four tracks but what a monster of an album. I'm not just saying that cause H is a friend. I listened very closely to everything in the car where I can really hear everything and the Rock Hard review is dead on! These songs kill!! Its stoner for people who are bored by stoner..prog for people who want to rock...i know that is an awful description but its 12 30am and I just got off work so it'll have to do.

I feel privileged to witness sucha phonomonaaaaa... Long may they reign!

but even if they for some idiot reason spliut up tommorow, it was worth driving 7 hours for. Makes you feel good to be alive. fuck theres boxing on at 4am, time to dive right the fuck onm back into that alcoholicaust!!

Oh, and look at the photos on the CD when you're standing on your head. They kind of move about on stage in a strange manner. Like rocking crabs.
