“Post-rock” Reviews

It is challenging, but digging underneath the surface could just reveal some interesting tidbits.

This was Slowdive’s swan song, and a gorgeous one at that.

I say that I’m frustrated by this album because it’s very easy for me to dismiss it, when a part of me knows I should be enraptured by it.

Picks right up where their ferocious debut, 1997’s Young Team, left off.

It’s still Insides… so it’s not all bad. It’s not great either.

One of those rare cases where you can call a record repetitive and mean it as a compliment.

Songs like these belong in movies at those pivotal scenes when someone has a religious experience, when long-lost lovers are finally reunited, or when someone is brought back from the brink of death.

This an album that speaks of freedom, but also is brave enough to declare that one must venture through darkness and madness to achieve it.

I am here to say that Sigur Rós lives up to everything you’ve ever read or heard about them.

A lush (npi) mixture of hip-hop beats, vinyl scratches, orchestral undercurrents, ominous basslines, and lazily seductive vocals

I think we’ll all be hard-pressed at year’s end to find an album quite as inspired (and inspiring) as this one.

There are some hints of Tortoise’s more relaxed jams, but without the art-school edge.
