To my ears, they are not bad, but nothing stands out as unique or worthy of owning vinyl. Certainly better than 98% of the musical universe, but... milquetoast postrock 3-4/10. How did Lost In Kiev get dragged into a Pray For Sound thread??? Except to say there is a polarity of like vs dislike of the music by postrock fans, which is the total subjectivity of muscial taste to begin with. I don't see them anywhere near each other in the postrock spectrum re: sound. Nuit Noire has reached 8.5/10 for sure, while pg.lost has sort of stalled around 7.5-8/10. This is about my threshold for purchasing vinyl in the past couple of years. mrewest and Sad Heart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so cool, but the music just doesn't do it for me the way their other stuff does. I replayed those all in the car in the last week or 2 because I do a lot of driving to my girlfriend in Poughkeepsie and man, In Never Out, Yes I Am, and Key are just SO FUCKING GOOD. It's ridiculous. But this Pray For Sound album is easily 8.5/10 or higher for me. Loads of replay value, so many parts get stuck in my head. Band is incredible. A little dry and sterile in the production, but I can live with that because of the catchiness of the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
