Similarity doesn't equal actual influence, though. There are many ways to end up on a certain sound either by similar influences or coincidence.



I wish there were actual quotes that could be found. I mean, it would make sense if so.

Skinny fists sounds a lot like Soundtracks, specifically The Sound, Helpless Child, and Animus.

There's a great chance you will at least like them a little bit.

If you don't like godspeed more than a 3.5/5 you might as well kill yourself. That's just how life works post-1997.

But often people get carried away with comparing artists to other artists as a way to cheapen them or feel cool for name dropping them.

But nobody has proven that they actually were, they've just made comparisons and claims.

I kind of feel underwhelmed by this... I don't know why. Maybe post-rock has grown off of me? (which for a fact nearly all of it has except GY!BE's material and Slint.)

I think it needs to grow on me more... But I'm missing the heavy use of sampling that was present on F#A#... Hmmm, I'll give it a few more spins before I rate.

Maybe it's only a 3.5 for me. I'll have to see, but Mladic is great.

Not sure how so many users missed the chaos that ensued after the news was abruptly announced.

I guess you missed the comments on the Sputnik news entry and premature review, or you're just trying to be contrarian for no reason.
