HYMN TO THE IMMORTAL WIND

My first real post rock album shall be my last 2009 album, I'm writing review before the release of 2009 collaborators list. It's Hymn to the Immortal Wind by japanese band - Mono. Obviously post rock is very philosophical subgenre. The covers show this, the music shows this, the name of the albums and songs show this. I can feel the energy of this album. It's calm, it's innovative, it's charming. It consists of pleasant sounds, especally for relax. It really doesn't contain distinct flaws. Probably it's typical of the subgenre. But that doesn't make all post rock albums masterpieces, in my opinion. I think this music is for the moment you need it. It's not so memorable, but unfortunately it's very predictable, which means it's easy to be created. So I would highly recommend Hymn to the Immortal Wind only for specific people and/or specific mood. Because of the lack of distinct flaws I would rate this album 3,5 stars.
