This is the best month i've lived through this year.

Its going to be a good year for post-rock.

Good review. Don-t really agree with the RIYLs though, haha.

Only about 9 or 10.

I like that Mogwai is pretty much a lot more "down to earth" in its music.
As someone who pays attention to some instrumental rock (Pelican, God Is An Astronaut, Explosions, Jakob, Mono, Russian Circles, The Album Leaf) I like how Mogwai is more scaled down than most.
And they manage to sound fresher than most as well, even if not my faves of the genre.

Unnecessary sidebar, I got laid to this record a couple nights ago and I'd recommend it almost as much as I would getting the record in general.

There's a thread for this.

this review makes me really excited for this album.

"Now, I'm not ready to commit to anything long-term just yet, but Hardcore Will Never Die, But
You Will is just begging for me to call it beautiful."


favorite line. good review thomas.

Wow, disagree with your score vehemently. Super disappointed in this album, and I liked The Hawk Is Howling.

I mean I'm by no means a seasoned veteran of the genre. Those are among the handful of bands "like" Mogwai that I know, hence why I use them as examples. You'd definitely know better how to RIYL this record than I would, haha.

I vehemently respect your opinion and still love this record and want to sleep with it every night. Haha <3
