Just stop reviewing.
During several minutes you hear almost nothing; the tension and expectation rise; the rarified air
is unnerving and there is no light, you can only but wait; finally, there is a small sign of
resolution, a direction and a conclusion glaring on the horizon...or at least you thought so. Godspeed
quickly changes the venue and start all over in a similar vein.
This is probably the worst written thing I've ever read on this site.

Album Rating: 1.5
"I'm not waiting for a climax or waiting for things to get exciting like I have to do with lesser post-rock, but rather the entire thing is an experience that builds upon itself-- darker at some times, hopeful at times, but altogether incredibly heavy and engrossing"
SeaAnemone:
That is the thing. The music on here is, for me, heavily bonded to what happens next, rather than building upon itself, if I make myself clear. If anything, it is more like an aural experience rather than a successful composition. I have listened to it more times that I would have liked, more than enough in my opinion.
I respect your opinion, which a find, nonetheless, a very twisted one ;-)

regarding your 1.5 - are you seriously denying the musical quality here?

infinity/5
|
| |
so are you saying you don't like it cause it isn't instantly gratifying?

"If anything, it is more like an aural experience rather than a successful composition."
I have no inclination of how you can possibly disparage the composition though-- because if you did it in the review, it really didn't come out.

I didn't read the review, but alternate viewpoints should be encouraged and people who troll reviewers because they don't agree with the rating should be banned

SeaAnemone:
Well, if a band works a build up, trying to communicate something in the process, takes its time to reach a point, throws at the listener some curve balls, and then it does not reach its goal, then I think you can deem their composition skills clever and unusual, even interesting, but not necessarily successful.
If you find it full of meaning and intention, it all clicks then. I do not, and that is my perception. I do not find anything objectively valuable in here to guarantee glowing criticism. The whole and the parts do nothing for me.

The music on here is, for me, heavily bonded to what happens next, rather than building upon itself, if I make myself clear.
So what you're saying is, because the music moves forward instead of sticking to the same theme it is unsuccessful? If you have listened to any classical music at all you would know that the music moves through various themes and each movement brings upon a new variation of the original theme or tosses it all together. Godspeed borrow heavily from that mindset; they move between many themes to keep the music interesting. It is truly mindblowing how they are able to flow between themes so perfectly. If you want traditional post-rock that builds and builds to a climax look elsewhere; Godspeed do much more than that.
Everything on the album exists for, and only for, the climax.
Okay you say this, then you base your entire review around how because the climax never comes (even though they quite obviously do) that it is disappointing. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, everything DOESN'T exist for the climax? That maybe the entire work is meant to be a whole, the movements are meant to work together and the album is more of a journey than three songs and 24 movements? Like you said, Godspeed don't follow the rules, which is why you need to look at this album from outside the box.
And yet, sadly, it must be said: F#A#oo inspires more than it achieves.
I listen to a lot of post rock, and honestly I can't think of one album I can compare to F#. Please, enlighten me to the albums that F# has inspired directly.
