Flood is the third 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]
The album marked a change in musical direction; it features less of the abrasive sound heard on Absolutego and Amplifier Worship, and incorporated minimalism and progressive rock elements.
