So far, this is what's stood out for me: Old Solar - See Brutus - Nest Helms Alee - Noctiluca Cave In - Final Transmission Pelican - Nighttime Stories A Swarm of the Sun - The Woods Catacombe - Scintilla Pillars - Cavum Wander - March Atsuko Chiba - Trace Spotlights - Love & Decay

Not available on Spotify in Ireland for some reason. Is there anywhere else I can listen to this before it's delivered?

It is indeed. I've been listening continuously over the last few days. Refreshing and not the typical crescendo core type stuff that's been getting on my nerve.

2 albums for the weekend. Some nice slow burning tracks: http://drivingslowmotion.bandcamp.com/album/arda And the new Catacombe album: http://catacombeofficial.bandcamp.com/album/scintilla

I have to agree with you here. Possibly their most consistent album.

Surprised you don't like it. I've been playing it non stop for a while now and enjoy it quite a lot actually. Doesn't top Old Solar and A Swarm of the Sun as my 2 favorite post rock records this year though.

I thought it was quite "meh". I like both their albums but they took me some time to get into.

I love every single release of theirs and I'm pretty much sure I'll love what they will come up with next. Red > Blue > Yellow & Green > Purple > First & Second > Split w/ Unpersons

This is really good stuff! Didn't know the band at all and now I'm digging into their older stuff.

I've listened to it quite a few times and quite like it. I appreciate the fact it's very energetic and has extremely catchy melodies. I think I still prefer Mourning (their first album) as it is more straight to the point and the songs are shorter. I need to give this more time and listens though. Old Solar is still the best Post Rock album of the year for me so far.

Really digging this. Love the basslines!

I like it! Here's mine:

Listened to it this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Honestly can't remember the last pure Post Metal album that landed this well with me. I need to listen to this a few more times, but it definitely has the potential to be one of my favorite Post Metal albums of the year.

I love Wander. The single is actually my least favorite song off this new record. Fortunately I had a chance to listen to the advance promo and loved it. It's in the same lines as the previous release. Lots of energy and melody but the songs are a bit longer.

Yeah I did! It's not for me though. I'm more and more over the blast beats and screeching vocals. I like them on occasion (Deafheaven, Alcest) but it didn't work for me here. It's just not what they're about. There are other bands that can do what you would eventually want RC to do. Again, overhype. Nothing new and not doing anything for me. Glad it works for you though. Basically, yeah. Caspian is a close second. Yes and yes! Very close second though. At least in the genre yes. One of the most solid I've heard. It's just such a complete band overall.
