There's too many long comments here. Did that make any more sense in context?

"a mere change in the order of the tracks, from song-drone-song-drone of Allelujah to song-drone-drone-song, doesn't really seem that big"



well on allelujah the drone tracks are there to just kill the momentum mladic and worried fire set up while on asunder the drone tracks are constantly building up the tension which explodes in the closer (to me peasantry is more like an unattached track which is quite neat itself but doesn't really seem to serve any purpose other than being a 9-minute intro to the actual album)

"It's not incredible, but the hate it's getting is pathetic."



wouldnt really say pathetic, it's just pretty extreme. nothing pathetic about disliking an album.

despite some relatively cheesy quotes, it's been generally good discussion. i'd rather read sometimes-mediocre comments than 'uh no' and 'lol' over and over again.

I didn't mean to say that Lift Your Skinny Fists introduced guitar crescendos to rock music as a whole silly people, I meant that it introduced the combination of guitar crescendos and other things I mentioned (warm, symphonic sound etc) to post-rock. Tortoise had a warm sound, Swans had guitars etc. but it is GY!BE who took all these things and combined them into what many think today is the best definition of the genre.

And if I'm wrong, I'd be very happy to hear of bands who did this all before GY!BE.

Also great to see people willing to call a discussion embarassing without even caring to explain, users like you are always needed
