Seeing all of this chatter got me to go back and listen to this a few times last night. It is mmuucchh more of a ripper than I remembered. Some seriously heavy riffage, and then the more moody and brooding parts have such an inhospitable atmosphere - thinking about moving to 5 stars, but will have to make sure I am acquainted enough with it!

Just gave this two consecutive spins after not listening for a long while..
An Offering to the Wild was my instant favorite first listen, but now I think it's fairly mid as far as their long form tracks go.
T/t is the best here
Blood Upon Stone is overrated and a little messy, but that perfect outro should be the true end to the album.

Yeah For me It's CoL > Isis >>> Neurosis, pretty much in stone.
But for me Rosetta's trilogy is better than any three from anyone else, so I'm an outlier already.

Imagine not having Isis in your top 3. Shocking.

Isis have two classic albums
rest I could live without
|

every year that passes, the amount of Isis vs any other post metal I feel compelled to return to becomes a little more awkward
Rosetta and Amenra can hold all my fucking beers lol

Album Rating: 3.5
yep, agreed with that completely
I have a fairly narrow enduring repertoire for most “genres’ once the sheen has worn off tbh, but post-metal has dwindled pretty dramatically
(MotA are my 4th band, if I had to pick one - but the gap is VAST! … easily Inle for a single album outside of the big three tho)

Col >>>>> Isis > Rosetta > Amenra > Neurosis

These guys, Isis, Neurosis and The Ocean would be my "big 4" of post-metal. I haven't given Rosetta nearly enough time which is probably a big fuck up on my part.

Rosetta are cool. Breakdown on Ayil is like the hardest thing the genre ever did tbh.

Neurosis, CoL, and ISIS are all I need from the genre these days. i'll add in Fall of Efrafa - Inle too
edit: just saw that was mentioned above. worthy imo

at the risk of contradicting myself if we're talking ALBUMS, then yes include those such as Ashes Against the Grain + Weighing Souls With Sand as being right up there (as well as Inle)
Blindead, Dirge, Jesu, Rorcal, Rosetta & The Ocean all have a single album I'd take instead of this (for instance) but much of the 'big 3' clears them fairly comfortably
tl;dr - post metal v good, but there are clearly levels and said levels are perhaps a little more stark than I've encountered in most other music, because the elite tier is genuinely life changing

Theres also so many different flavors of post metal. Imo its one of the most emotionally evocative genres

Album Rating: 3.5
yeah, lots of flavas and definitely true
I dig some of the sludgier stuff too, I guess Rorcal could've qualified (?) and Amenra fall on that side of things from memory - idk there isn't always an easy distinction between the whole atmo sludge / post thing as there's a lot of crossover, but maybe there is to some of you nerds. Post is so vast it's almost a different form of 'progressive' (waiting for Pika to explode, hehe) and two bands sharing the descriptor can sound so unalike
ah shit blabbering on... again!
