I gotta agree. I just hope NOI gets the sufficient support to keep making music.

I haven't been reviewing too much lately...but if you check Post-Metal genre page, you'll discover that all recent reviews are mine

Special kudos to OMEGA MASSIF and DAY WITHOUT DAWN. I'm a huge fan of both recently

Been listening to Grails - "Burning off Impurities" lately. Amazing.

Maybe I should give J23 another spin and listen to what I'm missing here.   NOI will probably get a 3.5 from me, while J23 and The pirateship quintet will probably get a 4. Reveiwing epic post rock is so hard though. As a reviewer I like to familiarize myself with almost every note of the album, but sometimes it's hard to get all the way through a twenty minuete epic!

I'm super ADD and for some odd reason, I can listen to a twenty minute epic thats constantly adding new ideas better than a 4 min. radio single.  I think some Post-Rock bands are really perfect for people with ADD.  Some tend to drone/drag on the same idea and not vary much, but the ones that do keep changing rhythms/riffs and keep adding/removing layers are just perfect.  Neil On Impression are the best example of this that i can think of.  There's not much repetition so i don't get bored or feel like the song/album is dragging on.  Explosions in the Sky are good at this as well.  AND both of those bands have alot of energy in their songs (more so NOI, i attribute this to the drummer).

I also think it should be noted that I like NOI's initial release "For A New Grammar Of Feelings" better than "A Perfect Tango".  I think that fits their sound better (less strings, more guitar/bass/drums/piano).  I really enjoy their drummer, he's nothing spectacular but I just like his style...not quite as much as Mark Heron (Oceansize) though.  Mark is unreachable for me.  He's on his own plateau jammin out in 11/8 or something weird...

And thanks for the tip, I will check them out soon.

Any other post-rock bands with math-rock tendencies that have exceptional drummers?  Especially ones that play in odd time-signatures.

Good drummers in post rock? Well as you may very well know, technical skill and flashiness isnt needed, so you might want to go looking for the math rock post rock blend of bands. Like Russian circles, 65daysofstatic, and Tera Melos.
