I only didn't cuz I thought you'd be familiar

Unwound are pretty much the best post hardcore band. This album here is what their stuff sounded like for a while, noisy and mathy and off kilter



BUT THIS, was their last album, a masterpiece in all respects, anyone will tell ya. One of the most important albums evr. They turned more artsy post-rock, and this album is outrageously dynamic, and crafted so perfectly, chilling. It has a wide array of influences and originality within the genre. Violins, loud/soft as ****, crescendos, it's truly a 101/10



sure that was a typo but it's honestly more fitting. It's better than perfect

Drive Like Jehu are pretty amazing, but the vocals are the one reason why I can't imagine myself listening to a whole album in one sitting very often.

the early Unwound albums like Fake Train above have those vocals, but the music is amazing. Leaves Turn Inside You's vocals for the most part are soft, but the music there is infinitely more amazing

Sounds pretty cool on first listen. Bookmarked. Thanks.
Also: Anyone else noticed that a lot of seminal post-hardcore bands' last albums are also their masterpieces?

Don't get me wrong, I like screamed vocals. It's the teenagery aspect I dislike.

Well.. idk about you but my favorite bands today are bands I initially didn't like. The pixies, the residents, drive like Jehu. All bands I initially had a problem with but overtime I grew to love.

Personally my favorite bands today have been an acquired taste, not bands I initially liked from the start.

Same here. Used to hate everything I love now.
Thing is that I did love that style of vocals in my late teens, but then grew really wary of it. Not sure whether my preferences ever change back. I'm blasting DLY at the moment and for now all I hear is awesomeness though.
