The emotional weight that is carried in these songs is staggering.

:thumbsup: Yep. Also, so far, these songs remind me less of the apocalypse than the rest of their catalog.

This is making me jealous I'm not threatened by the hurricane

I think this is like everything that's stale about postrock.

Postrock 2012 sounds like this:

http://soundcloud.com/imaginarytrees/on ... n-will-fly

http://soundcloud.com/bebobul/bebobul-jazz-1

I'll stick with the "stale" postrock, thank you.

That second song, what is that bullshit? The first song isn't bad but it's boring. This GY!BE album is better than either of those. And the latest Sigur Ros album was better than everything post-rock released this year.

Indeed. I wonder about the pool from which Alela is searching for post-rock songs.

So, keep in mind that I just got into these guys and am on my first listen of "Lift Your Skinny Fists..." as I'm typing this, but:

1. 'Allelujah!
2. Skinny Fists
3. Yanqui UXO
4. F#A# Sideways 8

No way I could place the new one above Lift, but it's amazingly good.

I had to stop Lift halfway through because I had a meeting, so who knows! It could climb the ranks.
