A new personal low.

That said, the highs were really great.
I hope to like it even more as time goes on, I can see it being a bit of a grower.
Maybe one day I will appreciate the 14 minute mark!
I'd love to go somewhere really cold and snowy and listen to them, they feel like that kind of album. Especially Lift Your Fists.

Post-Rock is the kind of genre where it always has a nice, wintery feel to it. That's why in the winter, I tend to listen to more post-rock than in the summertime.

Well, just in case if you don't remember, the 14 minute mark is a bit droney sounding, with loud pounding drums. Also, now that we're talking about GY!BE, I feel like listening to Lift Yr. Skinny fists again, but I'll have to find the time since I just downloaded 27555 albums, and I probably need to listen to them

Is this an exaggeration? Or bull****?

I usually listen to different kinds of post-rock depending on what time of year it is. For example GY!BE is great for rainy autumns. In the summer I like to listen to Ef alot. Somehow it has a summery feeling that I like. Since I live in Finland winter is really dark here and alot of snow too so I usually listen to some depressing or darker stuff. Bohren & der Club of Gore works for me every winter.

ps. Im listening to Lift Your Skinny Fists right now. Loving every minute of it <3

HENRY COW - Legend
Suddenly, I like my music teacher, even if he's some random narrow minded grouchy 30-year-old.

DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA - Sing Along Songs for the Damned And Delirious
I can't tell if this is weirdest thing I've ever heard or the best thing I've ever heard. I'll go with both.

I downloaded that Diablo Swing Orchestra album yesterday. I haven't listened to it yet, though. I enjoy weirdness, so fingers crossed.

I can feel it's going to be a genre I'm gonna still dislike, or be indifferent to. But I suppose it'd be nice to have a few Post-Rock albums that are an exception to the rule.
I find Sigur Ros to be terrible. Who'z wiv meh?

I download one album at a time and listen to it, sometimes 2 or 3 but I don't download more than that at a time. I get all confused about what's been listened to and what hasn't if I do.

You should give in and give it a listen, I've been listening to it most of the night.

One to revisit me thinks.

A post-rock band you may be able to get into is The Low Frequency in Stereo. They're a Norwegian band and there style of post-rock focuses less on atmosphere and ambiance and more on fuzzy noise and jazz, but still retaining the beautiful melodies famous with post-rock. Their 2009 album Futuro would be a good place to start.

Anyways, Dayvan what was so strange about Diablo Swing Orchestra? It was pretty standard metal and a swing-revival sound merged together. I mean I know it's not something you'll hear every day, swing metal, but I mean just wait till you get into some of Solefald's stuff, or even Mr. Bungle. I'm glad you enjoyed it none-the-less, the reason I suggested their newest release rather than their 2006 debut is because the operatic vocals could be a bit much at times, but it's still definitely something to look into if you liked what you heard. It's called The Butcher's Ballroom (2006).
