all of the ones where you called something entry level. i was making fun of mappy for listening to [B]the[/B] entry level post rock band.

Lol that's pretty funny and true.

Every EITS song sounds the exact same.

I've been listening to Bark Psychosis today, **** ruled, that's good ol post rock before EITS crap came along.

Txus I love your dig. And I don't think it's fair to call EITS crap.

theyre not crap, but theyre not particularly good. gotta hand it to them tho, they created the sound thats still being copied here 10 years later. even if it is the sound thats making post rock stagnant.

Idk, man. Listen to other Post Rock bands that came before them and had such a beautiful original formula and no one knew about them (Gastr del Sol, Bark Psychosis for example) and then EITS came along ruining everything. I hate it when people tell me EITS are pioneers in the post rock sound, ****ing assholes.

And thanks, the self titled is mad dope too. I still need to hear Equinox.

[QUOTE=Ventriloquist;17514536]Have you heard the new And So I Watch You From Afar and/or The Non - Papercity. These two are "full of lfe" imo. Give them a chance if you haven't already.[/QUOTE]

neither. will do

so mike i need to hear your thoughts on eleventh he reaches london. anything other than 'its the greatest thing ive heard all year' will be dismissed as you just werent paying enough attention.

Gonna listen now, just lemme finish this Billie Holiday album.

i can respect dat

I think I'm crying of how beautiful the first song is

So far, it's excellent my friend.

oh yeah, everything about it is beautiful. the lyrics on that first song are just... wow. wait til you get to the last track. after its over youre just like 'omg wtf just happened'.

I Am the Bearer, I Stand in Need ftw

im getting this now. I hope its as good as you say

no need to worry it is

its not post rock though. im still enjoying it

after the first two songs the album takes on a much stronger post rock inspiration. its not post rock tho, no.

Amazing album.

Is this their only album?

no theyve got another, the good fight for harmony. its very good, most definitely worth getting. its mostly the same style. i prefer the new one tho, i just think its perfect.

did you ever listen to master musicians of bukkake mike? im thinkin about poppin that in here in a bit.

Yes, I did. ****ing amazing music. Much more drone-ish than I thought it would be. I got both albums and both are fantastic.

yeah the first half of that album has like one droned note going through all of the songs haha. i love those suuuuper low monk-like chants on the first track of totem one.

Anyone heard the new Do Make Say Think yet? It's pretty awesome.

last i heard from them was a history in rust. seemed they were heading in a much more conventional direction. which could eventually be a good or bad thing.

Hah, yeah, those chants are fantastic. There's a lot of that in the first album, too.

I love their artwork and everything of that band.

Bukkake <3

yeah, the first song is just where theyre the most prominent. excellent band indeed, i need to get their other album.

Have you heard La Otracina?

I think you would like them, they sound like a heavier Master Musicians.

nope, any specific album?

The Risk of Gravitation

cool found it ill check it out. not sure if the heavier and more rock sound will make me like them more or less tho.

Anyone looking forward to new russian circles? Ill be interested to see if they can top Enter. Station was mediocre for me. Im very excited though to see what they can bring

eh not really looking forward to it, but ill definitely get it and listen to it. theyve just been kind of stagnating, havent heard much progression in their sound at all. not a terrible thing, as i love their sound, but still.

theyve only done 2 albums so id hardly say they've been stagnating.

theyve released 2 albums, an ep, and 2 splits over the span of about 6 years

all of which sound exactly the same

meh i thought station sounded different to enter. More polished. not in a good way though. You cant expect every band to do something completely different every album. Theres nothing wrong with finding a sound and sticking with it

well when your sound is as basic as russian circles' you kinda gotta do something a little different here and there otherwise it starts to, word of the day, stagnate. irepress had a very definite style on their debut, and it seemed like they were already masters of it. but they still managed to change it up in the slightest ways on their newest. and it worked.

its like, yeah theyve def got a solid sound, but its one that barely held my attention to this point, and likely wont continue to for another album or two unless they do something different

that said, enter is a great album

enter is the only album of theirs i listen to much. And i did say in my original post about them that i wanted to see what new stuff they could bring.

you just said what they could bring haha but im not not arguing with you or anything. just exchanging opinion n shi.

meh im still jet lagged im struggling to form coherent sentences and thoughts. in summary im excited for a new album but not if it sounds like station

right on i can agree with that
