Well, I've just been listening to both of 'em for a long time now.. Boris for probably 8 or 9 years now (whenever Absolutego came out), Polvo for nearly 10. I still think both bands are just fine (though Polvo really does have some stuff that is hard to listen to -- I also think "Shapes" is a horrible album), just not the type of stuff I'm really into anymore... I also used to listen to tons of math rock, drone, and all sorts of other stuff, and I'm not into a lot of that stuff anymore either. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with those bands/genres, but I am giving away a big chunk of my albums, as I can't see myself wanting to throw in the A Minor Forest discography anytime soon. Plenty of great bands like Slint, Rodan, and Squirrel Bait will stay in my collection though.
Also, even if I LOVED Boris, I could see how someone would be bored by them. Most of their songs don't really do much...
Another band I find boring is Jesu. I love Heartache and Silver, but I'm never listening to them again probably.
