Music can't be pretentious. It's just sound. Everyone needs to stop saying that. Fuck pitchfork for starting that shit. >:[

EitS is awesome. My favorite is 'Song for our Fathers'

Post rock it may be...but it is superb music. Pretentious? There's nothing more pretentious than 80's prog rock!

Seriously, excellent music. I've got three albums and some miscellaneous stuff, and it's all superb.

Long live post rock! That's what I say!

i just hope post-rock bands continue to make an effort to do something more.. theres alot of the genre around that sound like they're trying to be either Godspeed or Explosions.

though there are also loads of good ones, so its cool at the mo

if anyone is really interested in the genre, join up to this post-rock forum - its really friendly and active and theres masses of downlaods. http://afterthepostrock.com

instead of Explosions in the Sky.... check out FROM THE SKY, they combine the sound of How Strange, Innocence.. with the power of Mono.
