The Samuel Jackson Five

[funkel]

Post-rock, sir.

Dig it, son.

[Cuddleworthy]

i like that 'skinflick dress rehearsal' song

[Foxholes]

"Easily Misunderstood" is one of the best post-rock albums hands down.

[Anthony Lutz]

I think that this band is vastly underrated due to their name. It almost sounds like they're trying to be a joke-band when in actuality, they are really fucking good.

[Danny Schme]

I downlaoded this band simply because of their name, not knowing what they played. But I was rather pleased with what I head.

Its also funny to see people's reaction when I recommend this band.

[funkel]

Yeah the name is ridiculous, but the music is fantastical.

[chipdip18]

Wow, this music is great.

[funkel]

Fo sho, son.

[chipdip18]

I think it's weird, but this summer i was in a huge Funk kick, and as the season change i've been wanting more Ambient and Electronica, and Post-Rock music.

[chipdip18]

Goodbye Melody Mountain is some excellent Post-Rock. It's got a neat edge to it a think.

[funkel]

Love that album (and Easily Misunderstood). Was listening to them all yesterday.

[chipdip18]

I'm relatively new to the genre, but TSJ5 seems to throw in some extra tweaks that make them stand out. Such as flute and clarient in the background.

With a name like the Samuel Jackson Five I was expecting this to be the greatest musical endeavour ever. As such I was massively dissapointed. How can you have a name like that and not just pulverise everyone and everything with your musical greatness?

[chipdip18]

Oh, but it does.

It's not surprising you don't like TSJ5.

[Blake Solomon]

tried their first record a couple years ago and didn't dig it. Tried this one and felt the same, although it is a step-up. Guess I'm just not ready for jazz. It's like the famous (to me, at least) scene from the Mighty Boosh: "When the melodies get abstract, you mess your trousers."

[chipdip18]

Haha i love how you put that. Well, a think lots of genres sort of take time.

[chipdip18]

Eye Eat Lotus has sexy saxophone.

[theguilt engine]

I like this band--they're more than just post-rock though.

[Regards]

I need to check these guys out.

[Charles777]

Best band name EVA

[funkel]

One of them at least.

[chipdip18]

At least. I love the vast instrumentation on Goodbye Melody Mountain. That's a side of Post-Rock i'm willing to see.

[tehdangerdave]

Just checked their Myspace out. This is really fucking good.

[chipdip18]

Amen. Love it.

[funkel]

See, more people should listen to my recs.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Will be checking this out as soon as I get out of class. I need more post-rock in my life.

[chipdip18]

Do it then! funkel is the man at Post-Rock.

[funkel]

Ha, I''m flattered.

[GuitarR0cker1]

One of the most innovative post-rock bands out there.

[adamcircles]

I'm definitely a fan.

[blebbio]

yeah these guys are great

[Takk...Ros]

Love these guys. Anybody planning on getting their vinyl box set?

[Wobbie]

I got Easily Misunderstood back in 2007, and loved it, but never got around to getting anything else of theirs. What album should i get next?
