While I love most of this album (its probably only a four but I don't want to lower my rating yet), the talking just reeks of try hard. We Are Not Good People, Team A and Coliseum are all misfires too. Rest is great though

Saying that they may sound like it or that they might be influenced by the genre doesn't mean that he's implying that they're

...Silent Alarm was basically a The Jam album. That's pretty darn post punk

What I'm implying towards is that this band leans closer to the post-punk revival sound rather than the main genre itself.

If its revival of post punk, it's post punk surely

Post-punk revival or just the regular stuff, what's the difference? Why make a distinction?

That's not a genre though. Half of those bands are just garage rock, plain and simple.

LOL. It is indeed a genre, it just took cues from the main aspects of post-punk and added a wide array of other influences (blues, garage rock, new wave, alternative rock, etc.)
