Super Roots
Super Roots is the first installment of the Super Roots EP series by Japanese experimental band Boredoms, released in 1993 by WEA Japan, in 1994 by Reprise/Warner Bros. Records in the United States, and rereleased in 2007 by Very Friendly Records in the United Kingdom and Vice/Atlantic Records in the United States. Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek described the music as "joyous insanity," and stated that the tracks "are fun; they're wild; they're virtually unlike anything else out there." Pitchfork'''s Dominique Leone wrote: "much of the record takes on a tribal ambience with pitter-patter percussion and the feeling that all of this is happening amongst island natives cooped up in a studio on their one foray into the city." Deborah Sprague of Trouser Press called the album "the most overtly playful" release of the Super Roots series, and noted that "skittery schoolyard giggles like 'Ear? Wig? Web?' and 'Budokan Tape Try (500 Tapes High)'" set "a giddy mood." Writing for Frieze, Mark Fisher described the album as "a compendium of yelps, chants, wah-wah trumpet and acid guitar," and "an absurdist Rock miscellany, a series of fragments and offcuts." A writer for Freq'' stated: "The inane collides head on with the insane... This album sounds like the end product of demented nihilist dada antimusic that has collapsed into entropy." Track listing
