jesusjuice1179
08.27.10 | i'm not saying i like all of these either, i'm simply trying to compile a guideline for people who want to get into the genre deeper or want to explore the genre, tbh i don't really like 1 all the much, but i recognize that it was key in starting the whole genre so i put it on here |
bailar11
08.27.10 | its a good list for people wanting to get into the genre. though i guess the addition of gybe would be neccesary. unless you want them to save gybe for last. idk bro your list. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | Needs some MBICR and Joy Wants Eternity |
bailar11
08.27.10 | this is entry level and essential stuff bitchy. let em work their way there. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | Um MBICR and Joy Wants Eternity ARE essential. |
kitsch
08.27.10 | wrong dmst album. whchsh is the best by far |
bailar11
08.27.10 | for just getting into teh genre. not really. plus you dont think gybe are the best in the genre so...... enrique cant agree. srry. |

08.27.10 | here goes bitchfork and his senseless LYSF argument |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | no lysf is terrible and infinity's a solid 4.5 |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | How would you know it's senseless weepingbanana huh go kill yourself i'll fuckin tear that cunt apart fuck you go die drink cyanide xxxbyexxx |
bailar11
08.27.10 | lysf is their best omg
they pioneered the genre
get over it |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | I'm pretty sure that Slint and a few other bands came before GYBE, like Slint and Bark Psychosis. I mean I'm not trying to say they're a bad band, I just think that they had one really bad album. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | And Public Image Ltd. I mean come on now. |
WeepingBanana
08.27.10 | i've seen you argue this many times and i've come to the conclusion that you're just trying to be edgy but it's all so contrived...
AND MY GENES DIDN'T BLESS ME WITH THE FORESIGHT OF A SAGE, BUT I KNOW HOW THIS WILL END IN APOLOGIES AND INK ON THE PAGE |
bailar11
08.27.10 | yah they did but gybe made it what it is best known as today js
but i dont think theres any way to convince you otherwise that lysf owns
oh well |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | Yeah not liking a few albums that sputnik does is really fucking provocative. I don't see how me arguing that it's really boring, bloated, and completely unnecessary is all that out-there. I mean, it's not as though I'm saying that it's long so it has to suck. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | "yah they did but gybe made it what it is best known as today js but i dont think theres any way to convince you otherwise that lysf owns oh well"
I'm not arguing that GYBE wasn't an influential group. I mean, that's fucking retarded. Nor am I saying that they're a bad band, I mean, a bunch of phenomenal bands overdo things and create a bad album here and there. Hopefully their new one won't be like that - perhaps along the lines of SRFNZK? |
Knott-
08.27.10 | it's not GY!BE's fault you're not patient enough to realise that lysf is fucking genius |
bailar11
08.27.10 | its okay. enrique forgives you and understands what youre getting at.
im just gonna go listen to lysf over here then. |
Mordecai.
08.27.10 | needs Eyes Like Brontide instead of Jupiter, and a different Mono album |
bailar11
08.27.10 | i would make a joke of how youre "knott" correct with something you said but that statement is kinda 100% true for most people tbh |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | Yeah, Knott-, fourteen (!) tries and my rating's lowered from a 4 to a 2. Yeah it hasn't grown on me yet I'm gonna listen to it another twenty times to appease you. |
WeepingBanana
08.27.10 | i agree with mordecai.
also you you're a history in rust is a little better than other truths imo |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | He should probably just get rid of the Mono album because they're fucking awful. |
Knott-
08.27.10 | lol rique
no of course you dont have to. i fucking love that album. love in the strongest sense. that's quite good enough for me. i genuinely feel sorry that you don't. |
Knott-
08.27.10 | right bitchfork that's it you're finished |
bailar11
08.27.10 | mono are awesome. and its his post rock list. not one album here is actually 'awful' |
Mordecai.
08.27.10 | yeh but Hymn isn't there best. it's too pedestrian. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | I mean I used to and then I realized that it wasn't all I cracked it up to be. Perhaps one moment of "I don't like this" led to "well this is why" and a bunch of "oh well the climaxes are underwhelming and it's 87 minutes of watered-down GYBE," but I've tried to be really analytical with bands like MBICR and The Evpatoria Report, and if I find any flaws, none of them are that glaring, nor are they as large in number. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | He said to make suggestions in the list caption I don't see what's wrong with expressing an opinion. And you might want to kill off Eric and Qwe while you're at it too, Knott-. |
bailar11
08.27.10 | you are there is a little better imo |

08.27.10 | Check out some Labradford. |
HallucinogeNick
08.27.10 | what's wrong with The Samuel Jackson Five, other than the irritating reference to the man himself, Samuel L. Jackson? |
HallucinogeNick
08.27.10 | seconds on the Labradford suggestion. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | They're the definition of completely lifeless and boring post-rock. |
Zanders
08.27.10 | Bitchfork, are you referring to Labradford or Mono? |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | "what's wrong with The Samuel Jackson Five, other than the irritating reference to the man himself, Samuel L. Jackson?
They sound like every other forgettably average post-rock band out there and their name is amazing. |
bailar11
08.27.10 | they good bitchy
but yeah labradford is some good shit |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | Mono, Zanders. Labradford is amazing. |

08.27.10 | both are awesome js |

Almost anything on this independent post-rock label is very good. It includes The Ascent Of Everest. Also, most of their stuff is FREE, which is always good. |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | no Mono's like post-rock's mutilated fetus. |
Zanders
08.27.10 | I tried to listen to Mono before, but it didn't stand out to me. I haven't really been able to find any bands labeled as "post rock" after the very early 2000s that catch my interest. The movement has gotten too homogeneous for me. |
bailar11
08.27.10 | Mogwai are a good modern post rock band |
Zanders
08.27.10 | Mogwai have been around since the 90s. |
bailar11
08.27.10 | but they still made music in 00s
which was good |
Zanders
08.27.10 | The early post rock bands that survived in to the 00s mostly remained good. It's just the more recently formed ones that are lacking. |
bailar11
08.27.10 | oh yeah most of them arent as good. you right.
oh wait. red sparowes. they good. |
Lucidity
08.27.10 | mono are arguably the most overrated post rock band |

alachlahol
08.27.10 | you're doing more than just bordering on other genres with this list jesus, many of these albums aren't post-rock at all. 3, 12, 13, 16, 22, and 25 are all either blatantly ambient or modern classical. might want to rethink the title or rethink the albums |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | "he also said that yanqui is the best gybe"
No I didn't. I stand firm in the belief that srfzk is. I said Yanqui was miles better than LYSF, but I also said I didn't like that record. |
robertsona
08.27.10 | stars of the lid so post rock |
Bitchfork
08.27.10 | yeah everyone knows that they're neofolk I honestly don't see how you could get them confused with that. |
brutebeard
08.27.10 | thanks for the list, I was on the hunt for something like it |
brutebeard
08.27.10 | I'm glad Mogwai isn't on here too. They are super unimpressive, at least Come On, Die Young |
