But back then they sounded like bad songwriters who weren't even all that technically impressive.

Plus, the lows you are talking about were god-awful.

wait a fucking minute. Sniper01, I looked at your ratings, not bad. But I saw one that intrigued me. Based on that, I can decide if you are an idiot or not. What would you give BTBAM's "Colors" out of 5?

BTBAM - fail.

Album Rating: 4.0

Converge never gets old. It's pure artistic aggression. However, BTBAM tends to get a lil boring sometimes.

I have it at a 3, because I used to like it a lot, and something nostalgic about albums I used to like keeps me from lowering it more, but I think a 2.5 or a 3 is a pretty fair representation of how I feel about it.

Album Rating: 4.5

BTBAM is great at first, but gets old after awhile. Still a really good band and far better than most metal today.

Converge, on the other hand, only get better with every listen. It's the same way with most post-metal, especially Isis, Neurosis, and Cult of Luna.

Album Rating: 4.0

Isis and Cult of Luna are great, but Neurosis is fucking classic.

Album Rating: 4.5

but you 5'd Frances the Mute... it makes no sense. You see, it goes like 60/40. 60 percent of the people on this site love BTBAM, obviously based on their ratings, but the other 40 say that the band is too much 'wank' and thus they are bad. Now, I see you were talking about the 'wank' factor of BTBAM before. While "Colors" IS a lot of 'wank', it's my one of my faves ever, and, the only album I think I;ve ever heard with more 'wank' and ridiculous 'instrumental masturbation' IS Frances the Mute. Now, I think when "musical masturbation" is handled well its awesome, but I think, that if you are going to talk about the 'wankyness' of Colors, you should re-listen to Frances. Not trying to start a fight, just my opinion.

'Through Silver in Blood' is such a trippy album and i can see it only growing on me.

Rosetta > Cult of Luna >> Isis (need to listen to Neurosis more properly).

Album Rating: 4.0

Hollier- Once you do, I'll agree with your ranking, because it's going to look like this:

Neurosis>>Rosetta>Cult of Luna>>Isis.

Album Rating: 4.5

I AGREE. Even though I'm not CRAZY about Rosetta thus far, and Ive only heard one album, they are much less boring and "OMFG WERE SO SLUDGY SO THATS GOOD" than Isis and Luna.

Album Rating: 4.5

I honestly can't decide which band is better. Neurosis, Isis, and Cult of Luna are all on the same level for me. However, Neurosis does get a lot of credit since they've been going on since like '86 or something, unlike SOME OTHER BAND.

Cult of Luna needs a new album and to tour America.

If we are gonna talk sludge, Neutral, we need to add Rwake into the discussion.

haha POST-ROCK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>POST-METAL. Any fucking day.



Godspeed You! Black Emperor>>>>>LIFE

ive got eye of every storm but im gonna listen to a couple of their heavier albums in depth before going back to it, i rated it a 3.5 but i didnt listen much at all and im pretty sure its alot better than what i initially rated it considering how much im enjoying through silver in blood.

Album Rating: 4.5

I don't have any post-rock as a 5, but I have several post-metal 5's. That extra, heavier than hell dynamic just gets me.
