4 stars This is one of the quintessential post-rock albums.

'Lift your skinny fists' is often quite a sparse work (which is why I don't have a lot to say about it) consisting mainly of layers of different instruments building to a crescendo, with various voice samples present to help set the mood. The opening track 'Storm' is the best on the album building to a triumphant level before a welcome release and venturing through various symphonic territories. Towards the end of the album it does lose a bit of focus but overall it's a worthwhile experience recommended to anyone into post-rock or relaxing ambient music - good for sleeping.
