It's not as good as I remember :(

Sorry to hear that, user. For me, all of GY!BE's music gets better with each listen. That piano interlude/sample at the end of Storm always gets me, too.

Its actually pretty bad, and its good you came around to realize that.

yes, like To Be Kind. god that's fuckin boring

It's indeed no higher than 7.5-8/10 after you had listened to it for sometime but if you think it's boring on your first listen you really are a newfag pleb bro

>are a newfag pleb bro
not that guy but not everyone had zero taste before they came here my man. Some people have already been into music and can recognize shit once they first hear it

yes like swans

Swans has some redeemable stuff but yeah I'm not really into them at all. Godspeed is the same way for me, I recognize that they can make some good music and there are certain parts of their albums that are good but as a whole they drop the ball so hard. If they just focused on making music track by track instead of all their pseud bullshit they'd be a much better band

>TBK
>boring
It's literally Swans' most energetic and accessible album since Cop, maybe post rock just isn't for you, user.

post-rock as a whole sucks pretty hard my man.

imagine how shitty they are

The only bad side of this album are a slightly overly formulaic crescendos in each part (excluding Antennas To Heaven) but since the are only three (3) of such parts they don't appeal to you boring when you hear them for the very first time even if you already had heard better albums than that, they may appear a bit too uncreative at worst but even then regarding the atmosphere the album sets in its consistency it's highly unlikely. So, if you do get bored of it on your first listen so much that you call this a shit album, you are either a regular pleb or an absolute (yet soulless) patrician bit the latter is barely possible on Yea Forums

*snap*

For me post rock is one of those genres that's easy to learn, difficult to master, hence a shitton of crappy post-rock bands ripping off Explosions, while at the same time bands like Talk Talk and Sigur Rós can make really incredible albums. Not to mention all the great albums that incorporate post-rock elements (Deathconsciousness, Whenever if Ever, Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home, etc.)
In the end I guess, like anything, it's just a matter of personal taste.

What is the appeal of post-rock? I don't get it

literally to lose 2 hours of your life listening ufinished songs

When I first came to Yea Forums I listened to a lot of grunge and 90s stuff, then I got into prog, then I tried to get into godspeed and swans and stuff since it seemed like a logical step forward. I "enjoyed" them at first (never really did, more like a couple of songs and tried to convince myself that I liked them) but that didn't really last long since my taste kinda went full circle when I just decided to stop listening to music full of pretense. These days I still love music that your average listener has never heard of but it is mostly just track focused music that is made by artists who just like making music and don't try to make it to be anything more than it actually is

The whole album is formulaic and predictable build ups (crescendos). That is the whole problem, too much build up for an archetypical peak. Besides, the pseudo intellectual vibe these guys emanate is quite frankly atrocious.

Having rich textures/soundscapes that hold up really well after multiple listens, really dramatic climaxes, interesting suble changes to the sound you notice as it progresses. Like I said, it's subjective. For me, it's interesting, that's about as much as I can defend.

imagine caring this much if someone's a pleb when unironically at least 97% of Yea Forums are absolute plebs

Have sex incel

There's no any particular appeal of it since the only thing in common post-rock bands have is the fact that they all use typical for rock instruments to play something other than bare rock, that's it. Some of them may create climaxing symphonies, others - much shorter yet compositionally rich tracks; some vaguely use electronic elements and some lean towards more folky stuff, the list unironically goes on and on since the absence of any kind of standard for the common sound makes post-rock so diverse
Well, not all albums that use remotely complex composition and instrumentation are pretentious, only those who have all that wankery just for the sake of having it are. And since the dominative theme of LYSF is some sort of spiritual ascension during apocalypse the means are quite appreciate to the contender, although it most certainly is a bit pretentious in its core, but not so high degree that it makes their music absolutely unlistenable
Yeah, that's what I were implying in my previous post, I just said that it isn't as much predictable as people claim it to, so although there are better post-rock albums this one is still a 7.5/10 at least
That's just the starting point for the discussion of the album itself bud, nothing else

>appreciate
*appropriate

>but not so high degree that it makes their music absolutely unlistenable
agreed, I would never go so far to say their music is unlistenable. However, there is much better instrumental rock to be had that doesn't pull any of that shit and still is full of fantastic instrumentation and arrangements

the pseudo intellectual vibe your post emanates is quite frankly atrocious

Well, at least Im not making music for plebs.

Well yeah, I have implied that in my post too. The whole discussion started when some guy called them shit, and just said that they are actually pretty decent although there are better post-rock

What post-rock elements does Deathconsciousness use? I'm confused by people who say this.

No, instead you try to sound smart in front of strangers on the internet. Not entirely disagreeing with your original point btw, its just the way you expressed it sounded funny. In a bad way.

Tracks like Hunter and The Future come to mind, and to some extent Earthmover as well.

It's not as much about elements (which highly vary in the post-rock itself too) as it is about how it sounds. Like said, instrumental tracks from it can't be properly categorised under the one rock subgenre due to their some kind of uniqueness, so that's why they are sometimes referred to as post-rock

Its not my problem if youre bothered by words with more than 2 syllables. And Im not being ironic, its just that being a lawyer sort of forces you to write "like that".
