mogwai did pull that off a couple of times fwiw but otherwise yes lol
mono definitely epitomise the worst of post rock at points (You Are There is arse) but they also have a far better grasp of childlike wonder and melodic candyfloss at their best, so idk if i'd rate them below these guys. when i think of Hymn to the Immortal Wind, the atmosphere comes first and the crescendos far later, which is usually a healthy sign for this genre
pedal steel guitar red sparowes >> emma red sparowes, but even then they're a 2-4 song playlist band at this point fs

i never loved any godspreed

it was worth all this garbage for talk talk

Album Rating: 3.5

"but they also have a far better grasp of childlike wonder and melodic candyfloss at their best"



Hammock used to be one of my favorite bands, but they mastered this exact sound and its so cringe I can't listen to them anymore

talk talk fandom is the new godspeed fandom don't call me

good

godspeed fandom was never good

does this sound work better for a film score / soundtrack rather than an album listen?

Album Rating: 3.5

what was that site where you had a lil avatar and there were a bunch of them in a room and maybe 2 or 3 of them were DJs and got to pick the music, and people would either start bopping or downvote whether they like it or not



I played talk talk in a post-rock room once and got immediately kicked lol

plug.dj! and lmfao that's a rough L
"does this sound work better for a film score / soundtrack rather than an album listen?"
how about i send you a unreleased foot reel and you find out

they didn’t deserve you tim

pass

well RIP guess this is stuck in the album pile

sold my copy ages ago

Post-rock got homogenized real quick once everybody started biting the sound of this album, but ppl bite it cuz it’s good.

Always thought there was a lot more depth here than on any Mogwai or Mono album. It’s by far the band’s best too of course, I don’t even listen to any of the others

To be fair though, it’s hard to compare post-rock bands because it’s such a vague term. EITS, Godspeed, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, etc. always pop up in post-rock discussions together but all those bands sound completely different from each other

I listened to talk talk one time

do it again dweeb

Album Rating: 3.5

post- anything is a vague term





I remember having a discussion with my highschool physics teacher about post-rock and he thought it was such a stupid term. "Is rock over?"

u listen to girl talk instead
