I really hate the term "Math Rock" but regardless I guess there is nothing else to call such bands due to their intricate structure. And isn't Metal music supposed to be the most extreme type of music? How can you become post-omega? Well, that's irrelevant. Here are some of my favorites.
Isis - In The Absence of Truth The Appleseed Cast - Saggamartha Don Caballero - American Don Red Sparrowes - At The Soundless Dawn Isis - Oceanic Isis - Panopticon Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood As you can see, I am quite the fan of ISIS. The first time I saw them live was enough to convince me to hold all of their material near and dear. What a great live band, it's a shame they broke up, because they had the creative capacity to make so many more amazing albums, not to mention the side project incarnations (Red Sparrowes, Old Man Gloom.)

Major bump.
 Currently really enjoying these guys. Kind of a break from the dissonance and punk energy of a lot of Math Rock; these guys are a little bit more relaxed and tight. Great stuff. |

Ever heard of Canyons of Static? Maybe not, but my band Until Sunrise covered one of their tracks, soon to be released on the second edition of The Circle Project via post rock label Oxide Tones. Here's the track, clocking at just under 10 minutes:

I hope this isn't a huge bump... Anyways.
I'm not huge into post-rock. However, I really, really enjoy post-metal/math rock a TON. A couple of friends of mine showed me the genres, and I'm hooked. Here are a few post-metal/math-rock albums I really enjoy. Dirge - Wings of Lead Over Dormant Seas Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood This Town Needs Guns - Animals Isis - Oceanic Six Gallery - Breakthroughs in Modern Art Bygone - I can't remember the name of this one... oh well. Sunn O))) (do they count, really?) - Altar, in particular Paysage D'Hiver - Nacht Agalloch - The Mantle |

I consider drone metal to be progressive...

^ Nice list. Though the agressive vocals in most of those bands turn me off.
Here are some albums for you to check out! Ancestors - Of Sound Mind Russian Circles - Empros Nuito - Unutella Alcest - Ecailles De Lune Enjoy! Hope you continue to post!

I had no idea this place existed. I shall come hang out with you guys!
 I discovered Johnnytwentythree yesterday. Anyone familiar with them? I was rather amazed they'd slipped under my radar. |

Another great and overlooked band here on PA. The usage of cello is what makes the band so great.

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look! And the aggressive vocals is something I really try to look past when listening. Some of my other favorites like Cult of Luna create really great atmospheres when you ignore the incessant yelling. Oh well. |

New Mono is post-rock album of the year for me, one of the best post rock albums I've heard in the past few years. That music cannot be described into words. Accompanied by The Wordless Music Orchestra, music cannot get any better than that.

I'm not too much a fan of the standard 'post-rock' bands out there, but I have a love for Neurosis and Isis, Through Silver in Blood and Oceanic being my favourite albums respectively.
In terms of 'math' rock/metal, if you call Meshuggah math metal than I am a massive fan. Dillinger Escape Plan are pretty awesome too. |

New Godspeed You! Black Emperor is not bad, but i must say i'm kinda disappointed, their weakest album to date. The 2 lengthy songs are descent, but the other 2 drony pieces are just.. pointless.

@angelmk, agreed. I'm just happy they're active again. The songs on the new record have actually been written for years, in fact they played the lengthier songs on the Yanqui U.X.O. tour with different names.
Lets hope they take some time from playing shows, and write another masterpiece from scratch. |

Thanks to this thread, I've been listening to all of GY!BE's material. I owe you guys one, this is some great stuff. "Lift Your..." is probably my favorite album from them, it's pure excellence.

While looking for an RPI album on Amazon.com, I saw the Perhaps-Volume 1 album for download for only 89 cents! I kept seeing this band's reviews popping up in PA so I grabbed it up. This was my first listen to any Post/Math music as I thought I would not like it based on its description, but after only 1 listen this evening, I am intriqued.
Is this album a good representation of what the top bands in this genre may sound like?
