You mentioned Seaweed, Tristan. Are you sure they're post-hardcore? I've heard a couple albums by Seaweed due to my grunge affinity. They are definitely punk, but not post-hardcore in my opinion. I've learned that false expectations upon trying out the subject leads to a less pleasant experience and a lower rating. In fact, part of why Lady in the Water did so poorly at the box office and the critical reviews was because it was partially advertised as a horror when it was really more of a mystery-fantasy. I have similar personal experiences. It's possible you rated the album lowly partially because you expected a post-hardcore album but you really got a punk album. You may not have realized it. Try listening to it without a post-hardcore mind.
