Aaaaaaaaand... This group continues to fail to impress me. This is very nice but it's too soft, it needs more dynamic variety. There doesn't seem to be much finesse in their layering.

I mean, it's good, just not mind-blowing and doesn't elicit any response from me other than "this is pleasant". In fact, it's almost offensively pleasant, if that makes any sense.

See, this seems pretty varied to me. The first 3 songs alone are all drastically different from each other. Granted later on it does fall into some post rock stereotypes

I didn't say this didn't vary stylistically (though the variety of styles is far from drastic); I said it didn't vary dynamically i.e. every song has pretty much the same level of loudness and pace, and the songs don't really build to anything for the most part.

Ah, didn't read that properly my b.
Yeah i see what you're saying - some songs have amazing releases tho, like the first one

That's ambient shoe gazing music for you though. To expect a monumental crescendo from these guys is a bit misguided. But Floating Away In Every Direction is one hell of a beautiful post rock song. Like a top 10 hammock song for me.

I will try this a few more times and hope it grows. At the very least it's fine background music; I just wish this band had the same impact on me as it seems to most people here.

Boney's words are partially how I feel about Hammock, but this and a few of their others are really emotive, and much more than just background music.

Budgie I don't dislike this, it's at least a 3, maybe even a 3.5. I think I just don't really "get" ambient as a genre. (And let's face it, this is way more ambient than it is post-rock).

Hammock isn't a gateway to ambient, they're too corny and sentimental for that. Check a Stars of the Lid record if you want a quality entry point to the genre.

A lot of their stuff is very ambient but they really know how to perfect a soaring post rock song. Like Floating Away In Every Direction, Dust Is The Devils Snow, Stars In The Rearview Mirror and Tornado Warning.

I'm not saying there isn't any post-rock here, but ambient definitely seems to be their primary approach to songwriting.
And Lucid, I'll keep them in mind...
