But have you actually listened to any of their other albums? Every time I see you posting about them it's that you don't like LYSF but you keep bloody listening to it.

How are they deep?

I've listened to most of F♯ A♯ ∞, but got bored.

I've only listened to LYSF a handful of times...

I'm enjoying it a little more than last time, I still find myself drifting in and out of it though.

I'm not sure why is that, but I suspect it has something to do with this kind of post-rock's manipulative, tear-jerking tendencies. I guess I'm not that easily manipulated anymore.

You used to cry when you listened to it? Come on, it isn't THAT dull.

Haha...no, crying is reserved for some Cat Power albums. But, you have to admit that the music is composed in such a way, with all those sad violins and long, repetitive build ups to manipulate you into feeling all melancholic. There's even a post-rock group on last.fm called 'I'm so post-rock i shit sad birds'.

I don't find it sad. I'm half way through it at the moment, and I'm drifting in and out of it. Kind of enjoyable, dull in parts.

Maybe it'll grow on me over time, but I just don't find it emotional. It's not manipulating my emotions in any way.

Maybe I'm just dead inside?

I don't know, I can't defend that album, because now, for the most part I find it dull with only glimpses of that magic I used to hear. Maybe I died inside too.

Delving even deeper into drone...

That album sucks on ice. Someone told me The Bees Made Honey In the Lion's Skull, which was released a few years ago, is less "tuning a guitar for 93 minutes" and more Boris. Haven't listened to it yet.

Is it wrong that I enjoy it?

well, if I can handle post rock, I could probably handle most drone, but I'll definitely get The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull next. Any other particular drone albums I should get?
