Title: Old Guy No Like
Review: What the heck makes this "post rock?" It sounds like second rate guitar rock to me, repetive in a boring--rather than blissed out--way, with dynamic extremes that sound gimmicky rather than cathartic, opaque production and uninspired playing (I hesitate to mention song-writing because these guys are a jam band). A hopeful prediction from the 47 year old guy contingent: you 20 somethings who are slobbering over this will eventually come to your senses and go after some REAL noise: Bardo Pond, Flying Saucer Attack, Spacemen 3, Amp, Jessamine, Loop, older Flaming Lips, MBV, Lovesliescrushing, or maybe even the Stooges or MC5. If you insist on the post rock thing, Sigur Ros or GSYBE. Again, this is just mediocre, at times mildly inspired, guitar rock.
Is the review positive or negative?
