nah

Receiver though, let's be real

Holy shit, pretty much all their albums are 4+. I haven’t heard even a damn note from these guys. Are they reeeeaaally that good, or is it one of those overhyped sput bands? Like are they so good I should order their every album and go through their discog?

I'm planning a discog run too Larkin and i also have a fear that my high expectations will cloud my judgement
But i listened to The Silent Man from this and Finland from Somewhere Along The Highway and that song was everything i wanted from post metal, much in the vein of Panopticon-era Isis (the latter mostly). Also got almost through their first (self-titled) album and that was pretty much as sludgy/heavy as Celestial (if not even more) and it really sounds like a brutal workout album

Lark just dive into this one and find out!

I don't think anyone has ever considered CoL a 'sput band' before, although that phrase has basically lost all meaning by this point, if it ever had any to begin with.

Yes, they are, it is absolutely worth hearing their discog, but it certainly won't do any harm starting here if you so wish. Other people have and weren't disappointed. SATH/Salvation are their masterpieces, so I reckon the overall averages are fairly accurate in that sense.

I think it's fair to call them a "sput band" and so far i think they live up to their hype
What i also really appreciate is that they have a couple of live records, where the track listing actually differs quite a bit and that the production quality on them seems top notch

I just think it's a useless phrase and usually has no bearing on their standing outside of this website, as people don't always have the proper perspective. For me, a Sput band should be one who's popularity here is significantly greater than elsewhere relative to other music, I don't know if these guys qualify. It's almost as bad as when people try and claim Converge are a Sput band, as if they're not a hugely important and known entity outside of this community. Also the case for The National, or Brand New etc.

It seems more apt for a band like State Faults, their latest album blew up here yet I heard users saying their shows are still tiny.

Regardless of this, where is the line/how does an artist 'qualify'?

"is it one of those overhyped sput bands"



they are one of the bands that brought post metal to prominence back in the early 00s so this band is really not just a sput thing

Album Rating: 4.5

No don't you get it Artuma, EVERYTHING that's popular/has high ratings here shall be labelled a Sput band, regardless of other factors.

Shit, I'm like a cranky old man these days.

No, you'll see what the overhyped sput bands are once the decade list gets published. 100% guaranteed to suck. We gonna get a buttload of vapid indie shite and almost nothing from punk (pop punk can fuck right off), electronic or metal. Just watch.

The userbase significantly declined once the staff started leaning in that direction. Coincidence? I think not.

you might be onto something there

Album Rating: 4.5

There are plenty of decent metal-head staffers/contribs though and the user-base seems to be leaning more that way these days. The real travesty is the under-representation of electronic music, there I agree.
