I've had a chance to listen to all three versions* of Smile by Boris and I've come to the conclusion that there needs to be a refund given to anyone that purchased the Southern Lord CD version. The Japanese and SL vinyl both had it right to start the album off with "Statement" (different versions, but same overall engaging effect), whereas the SL CD version starts off with the absolute buzz-kill, not to mention poorly mixed, "Flower Sun Rain." And the mixing on the SL CD version is just beyond reprehensible. Some tracks just get cut off like it's nobody's business.
*I don't even want to know what the $400 dollar vinyl version wrapped in fox fur sounds like**.
**Yes I do.
