It's funny how peoples' impressions of this music are shaped by bands like Sigur Rós and Godspeed, leading many to dismiss it all as boring schlock, when bands like Slint and Tortoise are jamming the fuck out.

Even if it does have vocals! BMSR and CBP both do and they have about as much in common with bands like GY!BE as Lady Gaga does with Grindcore.

Yup, last.fm users love to tag every goddamn "indie rock" with post-rock as long as it has no vocals. Post-rock ISN'T rock.

I hate this genre name. People just use it so damned loosely. I mean, Crippled Black Phoenix, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and Fuck Buttons? Shut the fuck up and listen to the music before you label it once in a while, hipsters.

when was it that most of the post rock bands began to sound the same? maybe since explosions in the sky's "the eart is not a cold dead place"? or long before? sad though...still a few decent bands in that genre, nonetheless.

Labradford and Gastr del Sol are some of the best of the lot. Shame they're not higher up.

'isn't post-rock just progressive rock? can someone fill me in here? ' no (mosly), post-rock has a distinct sound quite different even from prog rock
