Vision Creation Newsun

Described as a space rock and krautrock album, Vision Creation Newsun marks the band moving away from their noise-influenced sound. According to AllMusic's Mark Richardson, the album sees Boredoms "settling into a loose, jam-oriented aesthetic." Richardson further added: "The first two tracks find Boredoms further investigating pounding tribal rock with propulsive drumming, energetic guitar work, and vocal chants. The overall feel bears some similarity to Super æ, with tracks that draw from Krautrock and psychedelia, but Vision Creation Newsun adds a folk element, including softer instrumental textures like hand percussion, lengthy cymbal washes, and acoustic guitars. Some passages even flirt with new age, as they weave bird songs and the sound of falling water into the mix." ==Critical reception==

Vision Creation Newsun generally received positive reviews from music critics. Writing for AllMusic, Mark Richardson said: "This is not the left-field triumph that Super æ was, but it's a strong album nonetheless." ==Track listing==
