At least once a year, p4k gives a HORRIBLE review to an album that I love, and this is 2011's.
I'm not biasing it because I'm a huge Boris fan, I'm biasing it because holy crap the guitar tones are good.

at least once a week p4k gives a middling or horrible review to a great album. I know it is wrong possibly, but whenever I read a p4k review I heart it as a whining, sniffing jerk who is unimpressed by anything.

p4k reviews are best read in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld. anytime they review a post-rock album or a new-psyche album (Darker My Love, the Warlocks, Black Angels, that stuff) they just come as "what's the deal with this stuff? people like this?"

good stuff. wish i'd listened to it before reading the review though, because you seem to imply it's not "ye olde post-rock" when that's exactly what it is. they even sample the same new-age preacher that GY!BE did. most of it sounds like MONO to me.

It's post-rock but it's different from any post-rock I've heard before. At the very least it's a massive stylistic change from their first record.

if you want to hear "post-rock that doesn't sound like post-rock" i would direct you to the band Disco Inferno and the Tarentel album "We Move Through Weather". now THOSE truly sound nothing like typical post-rock (though granted Tarentel started out as a Mogwai-alike).
actually gimme a little while and i'll upload that Tarentel.

You think post-rock all sounds the same? Ha ha. Have fun with that.
