I dunno, I do have to be in the mood for them, but their music does almost exactly what I want from a post rock band of that ilk. I prefer quite a lot of other bands that I've heard get called post rock - Tortoise, Stereolab, Gastr Del Sol, Disco Inferno, Pram, June of 44, Don Caballero, etc. But when it comes to the whole "building up" style of post rock, Godspeed are one of very, very few bands that interest me. Sometimes their songs do get a bit dull though, I'll grant you that, but I think there are many more good moments than bad in most of their long songs.

Admittedly it's not a band I often listen to now, but I still love 'em.
