Even if you aren't a fan of the record, if you ever get a chance to see them live (US only I have a feeling) do so.

Thanks for this Drums & Tuba, I really fuc[size=2]king[/size] dig it. It's weird and really unique, but I love it.

The same as Kage, it's really great.

Glad that I could deliver something sweet as

[QUOTE=Kage]NP: Godspeed You Black Emperor - Static

^^This band is without a doubt the king of post rock.[/QUOTE]

As much as I respect your opinion, I'd have to kindly disagree. They're good, but I find them meandering a little too much for my taste. But then again, it's all in personal preference, right?

:p

Personally, for me, they are just the most emotionally impacting band I've ever heard. That's what does it for me.

They're excellent, I really love them...I dare to say I'm kind of a fanboy but just not there if you know what I mean. Anyway, as much as I love them I think they're not the pure definition/kings of Post Rock, for me Isis that is. It's all a matter of opinion though.

Isis, huh? I don't necessarily see that. Godspeed has it all, for me. I am a Godspeed fanboy, though.

I think Isis has the substance for Post Rock but...Oh well, maybe I'm sleepy :p

I love Isis, though.

Night guys :wave:

65DaysOfStatic is where it's at. I'm also a huge fan of Explosions In The Sky, Jesu, Mogwai, and God Is An Astronaut.

I've heard a lot of hype about 65days and Mogwai. Are either really up to the praise they get?

Personally I think 56Days gets way more hype than it deserves, while being really good. Mogwai is great, but inconsistent.

That's why I love ISIS more than any other band. :p

Cheers to both of them though!

I'm listening to Do Make Say Think right now for the first time, and it is really really good...

The bass especially, in the song 1978, such a cool line...

After listening to Sigur Rós the past couple of days I've come to the conclusion that it's not really my thing.

Don't give up on Post Rock in general, though. There's a lot of variety and SR is hardly representative.

Definitely not. At the moment I'm listening to Red Sparowes and they are quite good.

Try Russian Circles also, great band with great songs.

I would have to agree with GYBE being the kings of post rock.

Ja ja! There's not even a single question in it for me. GYBE encapsulate everything about it--hell, everything about [i]music[/i]--that I love.

Anyone want to send me a Godspeed album on AIM? Mistergroovy1023 is the name. I have a pretty sweet selection for trading.

I think East Hastings [I]alone[/I] encapsulates everything I love about music.

GYBE are definitely the best of the genre. F#...... is so good.

[QUOTE=Daven]GYBE are definitely the best of the genre. F#...... is so good.[/QUOTE]

aye, but [I]Lift your skinny fists like antennae to heaven[/I] is a greater album

LYSFLATH is very good, but my favorite is F#...... Does anyone know if they're releasing anything soon?

:( They're on a hiatus right now. I hope to God they reform in the near future.

:( :(

As long as Efrim Menuck remains involved in music in some way, I'm fine.

I somewhat agree. His other projects are all great, but nothing will ever equal GYBE.

[QUOTE=Dancin' Man]Try Russian Circles also, great band with great songs.[/QUOTE]

Russian Circles are pretty sweet.

3-piece ftw

We Followed Tigers destroys all other three pieces.
