* EpicRocking: Some of their albums are just one really long song, such as the 70 minute ''Flood''.''Flood'', the hour-long ''Absolutego'', and the 43 minute ''-Boris at Last- Feedbacker''. Meanwhile, while ''Amplifier Worship'' is split into several tracks, all of them count, with the shortest being 9 minutes and the longest being 16. Anytime they take a break from being a rock band to make noise, drone, or AmbientMusic, this trope is nearly guaranteed to be this; ''Megatone'', their collaboration with Music/{{Merzbow}}, consists of three tracks that on vinyl would each take up an entire side (For those wondering, the shortest is 17 minutes while the longest is 23), while "Asia", an album consisting entirely of HarshNoise music, has one 20 minute track and two 10 minute tracks. From their more standard releases, "Just Abandoned Myself" lasts either 10 or 18 minutes depending on the edition. "Angel" from ''Noise'' and the untitled track from ''Smile'' also last 18 minutes. "Naki Kyoku" from ''Akuma no Uta'' lasts 12. Generally, it's a rule of thumb that each Boris album has one 10+ minute epic (And even out of the ones that don't, ''Heavy Rocks'', ''New Album'' and ''Attention Please'', have the 8 minute "Kane", the 7-minute "Looprider", and the 6-minute "You" respectively)

''Flood'', for example, is basically PostRock, while ''Pink'' takes in elements of [[{{Shoegazing}} Shoegaze]] and NoiseRock. This is even present within some of their albums, to the point where some of them feel more like mixtapes than cohesive records. ''Präparat'' is a good example of this, featuring psychedelic rock, sludge metal, shoegaze, and ambient all on the same 40 minute record.

Boris has amassed a vast catalogue of studio albums, EP's, singles, live albums, compilations and collaborations. Notable studio albums include ''Absolutego'' (1996), ''Flood'' (2000), ''Heavy Rocks'' (2002), ''Pink'' (2005), ''Heavy Rocks'' (2011) and ''Noise'' (2014]. They have a confusing habit of releasing different versions of their albums depending on format and/or country of release. The 2011 ''Heavy Rocks'' is ''not'' an example of this, but actually an album of new material that is linked to 2002's ''Heavy Rocks'' by title only.
