Nice choices

Originally posted by Henry Plainview   Speaking of Pitchfork, I thought you guys might find their review of the new Russian Circles  entertaining (it's like everybody is releasing something this year) "Instrumental prowess is a double-edged sword in just about any genre, but when instrumental's all you do, you run the risk of the dreaded w**k with every flick of the wrist. "

lol, i especially like this flowery nugget -

"Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring," Nelson Algren wrote, and Geneva's an October sort of album no matter when you put it on."

Originally posted by Moatilliatta   Other Truths so far isn't as stellar to me as their past four albums, but that one definitely needs more listens. I'm sure I'm going to like it more.

I'm already starting to feel that i don't like it nearly as much as their last couple albums, but it's still amazing and one of my fav. "post" albums released so far this year.

Which parts of the board are you usually posting in?
I'm pretty much always in the Andy Sneap forum

that's what i like this thread, few people post here..with pretty similar taste in music..eclectic taste.. and it's very entertaining also..i enjoy it.. fun is the name of the game .. and  BTW Hymn To The Immortal Wind is one of the best post rock albums this year.. 

Ian, you know she's 16, right?

Hey! Come on! We care about you man; i promise to read your comments intently.

Originally posted by angelmk new Pg.Lost - In Never Out is not as good as their debut.. i'm little dissapointed ..but still descent piece of post rock ..worth checking out

@ Jody : it's not actualy released, it will be released before the end of the year.. officialy 

lol!   "The Sun Sank" starts of with a frantic melody reminiscent of a Mega Man game composition, then transitions into a ballad of pretty acoustic guitar arrangements accompanied by some soothing, almost wind instrument like synth melody.

^ Pretty much enough to have decided only after a few listens each, that "The Sun Sank" & "Vermillion" alone make this EP the most genuinely concocted post-rock/math-rock  release i've heard so far this year. (although i can't quite commit to including post-metal in that, because of Indukti's new record)

Oh man the  Dear Hunter was awesome last night.
