Name a better post-rock album released this year
define post-rock
>>60739027
The Gate and Asunder sweet and other distress
>>60739027
Amazing album. Neck and neck with this one for this year.
>>60739615
Asunder isn't even that good, but it's not fair to factor in Swans or Godspeed in the first place.
>>60739027
>post-rock from this century
>>60739675
Toundra is kinda generic, I wanted to like them but they didn't do anything for me
>>60739694
Generic in what respect? Its sense of climax and abrasion are fairly unassuming at first impression from a compositional standpoint. Lots of respect for novelty, repression, and ultimate satisfaction between the small little textures that show up and the big, melodic tonal harmonies.
This is now a post-rock general btw
>>60739027
Does this count? If not, the new Marriages album.
>>60739675
>it's not fair to factor in Swans or Godspeed in the first place
Why not? Because they're better? Let them be better.
>>60740065
It's not fair because they're the only two first wave bands still around. They've had upwards of twenty years to refine their songwriting and composition abilities as a band. It's uneven playing ground.

Thanks for describing perfectly why this genre of music is by far the gayest thing on earth.

If no one else can even come close to them they probably shouldn't even try.
Why would I listen to inferior music when I could be listening to GYBE instead?
