MSBR - Collapseland

 

It's hard to choose a favorite MSBR album, but this 1995 CD is probably mine. Inspired by the tragic earthquake in Kobe in January of the same year, "Collapseland" is riveting and overpowering. It was released in a deluxe oversized package by a German label called Heel Stone, which only produced 3 CDs before closing up shop (one of which was the mediocre "Hole" by Merzbow, audibly not giving a shit, though the packaging on that album is better than the music). A strong album among loads of strong MSBR albums and one of the all-time classics of Japanese noise.
