PO: Moving Mountains - Moving Mountains

This. Going from Pneuma to Waves is like listening to 2 different bands. I was so bummed when waves came out, just because I wanted it to have more post rock influences. I find myself enjoying Waves more if I forget that it's a mov mou album and that they have the capability of writing an album like pneuma.

TL;DR

Waves is a good album but I expected way more after Pneuma and Foreword.

 

this. this. this.

I'm definitely a Pneuma guy, but there were 3 songs I thoroughly enjoyed on Waves and 5 more that were pretty good. If this sounds nothing like Waves, then it has to be some completely different sound for them from anything previous. Bands almost never go back to the sound of earlier material, especially when it's so loved and revered that they have a huge chance of disappointing people because it can't possibly measure up to what the earlier stuff has become in time to the fans. That said, Greg Dunn seems to have somewhat of a Midas touch (e.g., Athletics) so I hold out hope that it will be close to Pneuma's awesomeness. I must admit, however, that the cover art somehow makes me think the album inside it should sound like 30 Seconds To Mars and I have no idea why.
