Enjoy Eternal Bliss is the album I have - 3 long tracks.  Pretty good.  Definitely worth checking out.

Can't stand Sigur Ros!

I don't know if some of these have been mentioned before but among my favorite (and not quite as well known as say GYBE or EITS) post-rock/metal bands are:

Caspian
Cue
Ektroverde
Grails
Irepress
Jakob
La Zona
Laura
Migala
Mono
Omega Massif
Russian Circles
Saxon Shore
September Malevolence
Sickoakes
Triosk
Tulsa Drone
Yndi Halda

Many others too.

Okay, it's rude to say I dislike them, I like some songs, but they never clicked on me wholly, I never enjoyed them that much...

ah Sigur Ros, they were the first post rock band I ever listened to, I started with ( ) and Takk and had one of those 'I should have been listening to these guys for ages' moments. Agaetis Byrjun is my favourite album by them I love the dark feel to it.

I really should listen to them more I don't think I've listened to one of thier albums for at least 3 months now. Embarrassed

Well, they're called "Untitled 1" to "Untitled 8" but some people write in the unofficial names that the band gave them insteadWink

I actually really like the first couple of songs, I havent been through the entire album yet, but it seems very very atmospherical. Thats the way I like my music!

Untitled 8 might just be the greatest post-rock song of all time.
(well, Hoppipolla is my favorite, but not entirely a post-rock song in my opinion)

well you probably will like the second half which is more of the same, except a bit darker (especially the last track which is intense)

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

() is definitely not my favorite Sigur Ros release.  It seems bland to me and most of the songs don't really go anywhere the way the songs on Agaetis Byrjun do.  If you're not a big fan of (), but you like the style, get Agaetis Byrjun.

You should! Their music is too powerful and beautiful to be ignored! Give it some time to sink in and you'll feel the same way I do about them. Thumbs%20Up
