Listening to a band called If These Trees Could Talk. Their s/t album is great.

Isis is my favirote post anything band, it took time to get into them, but after the first listen to weight, I knew they were a good band!

Have you heard Oceanic yet?I like that a little bit more than Panopticon.

Me? I've had it for about a month now, I like panopticon a bit better.

weight is still my favirote Isis song though.

I have that album! I haven't had the time to listen to it, but I'll try to listen to it today. I also have a band called Dirge, need to listen to it also.

Listen to Latitudes Ruben,it's great stuff,and Dirge is also SUPERB.Do you have the Dirge album Wings of Lead Over Dormant Seas?

If that is the one you must listen NOW.

The title track alone is like 50-60 mins. long.

That is indeed bleak!

Just ordered the album Big%20smile

I got Sigur Ros' ()

It's not they're highest ranked (though with only a handful of reviews, it's hard to tell how good the album really is), but I wanted to know some realy post fans opinion on it. This is also my first non post metal, post CD, so dont mislead me!

Its pretty hard to digest for a first post-rock album. Just ask The T! Tongue

The album in itself is wonderful, but it took me a lot of time to know its true potential. You'll need to have patience to enjoy it since its really slow and tamed, but thanks to that the album ends up being plain beautiful. So don't be scarred away if you don't like it the first time around.

You should've read my review of Saxon Shore and started your Post-Rock journey with them. Wink

Getting Be A Bright Blue was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Thanks for the tip Clap

Yndi Halda take the raw emotion, power, and structure of Godspeed and mixes it with the radiant, uplifting beauty of Explosions in the Sky.
Excellent recommendation.

My recommendation? Listen to We Flood Empty Lakes.

Interesting note:
If you write enjoyeternalbliss next to myspace.com instead of yndihalda you'll get my friend's myspace which is named after his love for the album. He wrote some reviews under the name of Invader Prog .

Yndi Halda has been mentioned a couple of times here now. They're obviously good... how good?

I can't measure that, but to say that they're my second favorite Post-Rock band it's definitely something. Calling their music epic is an understatement! Go get it!
