Well I'm not hugely into post-rock but I'm glad they're a bit  more "rocky" now.


They were much more abstract before these recent two albums (the 2005 one is awkward and awful), for which I appreciated them. Offering something genuinely post-rock, and sounding totally different than all the 1000+ Godspeed-school bands, was certainly a good thing.

I liked it the album the first time, but not anymore afterwards.

What is wrong with GY!BE?

It's not fighting, it is a difference of opinion. Smile An argument is where you say "You suck if you listen to that", that is what the other parts of the forum are for.

I think we all agree that Miles is the best by miles.

Aerosmith aren't boring though.  The music moves along at a nice fine pace.  However, I will say that Aerosmith are a band that I have to be in the mood for, since Steven Tyler's voice has always been hit or miss with me.

To quote KoS, "Spoken from the guy who has 316 listens of Aerosmith" I think that falls under that category Wink

I was originally going to write Led Zeppelin, but decided I better not cause a ruckus.

Agreed.  No fighting on my part.  I'm not familiar with that particular Miles Davis song.  I'm still a n00b when it comes to Miles, but I definintely have to be in a jazz mood in order to listen to him.

I guess it didn't occur to me because I kinda agree. LOL It's OK though, my taste in music is mine, I don't feel the need to impose it on anybody. It's nice to be exposed to different tastes, that is why I like PA.

Hey Matt, have you heard Jakob, a post-rock band similar to GY!BE?

They might suit you, provided you are not put off by long, ambient sondscapes.

I haven't even heard of Jakob, I'll give it a try.

Also, seafood + me = happy.

Absolutely nothing. But there are thousand of bands doing this kind of prog-rock (I'm not pinpointing by saying this, I'm describing a general attitude). Tortoise definitely sound from the different world, inside the same genre.

You got your grades on them that fast? Lucky. I did pretty well on all my finals save math. I bombed that one. LOL


It wasn't even a final, online quizzes and tests which give us the grades right after we finish them.  The final's on Tuesday.


Oh I see. Cool. Good job. Thumbs Up


Thanks. Tongue

The fact that post-rock bands sound alike stops me from fully exploring the genre, I am happy that I found the gems that I did, maybe I will try exploring more soon.
