2 stars Now, I'm a big fan of post-rock, but mostly the first wave stuff. Bands like Moonshake, Disco Inferno, Long Fin Killie, Disco Inferno, Talk Talk, Disco Inferno, etc.. but this is just not that interesting. I'm already not a fan of crescendocore, if you choose to call it that, and even though this is a little better than some of the more generic stuff within the genre it eludes me as to why this receives such incredibly high acclaim. The album is just irrationally long, which is fine if you have lots of variation, but this one doesn't. I also don't like the cinematic sound, which is also an issue I have with F#A#. The biggest problem, though is that the tracks feel a bit too similar with their crescendo-based structures. And even though each track is slightly different, they're each stretched out to unnecessary lengths to the point where they blend together in my head, leading to a pretty unmemorable experience.
