Favorite post metal band?
Could never decide between CoL, Pelican and Isis. Well after some deep pondering and listening I have decided overall, my vote goes to Pelican. A very close one but in the end, it was down to overall enjoyment and I have gotten the most from Pelican. So how about it? Also, didn't include the band Minsk since I only have one album by them, "The Ritual Fires of Abandonment" so I can't accurately judge them, but kudos for that great album! |

I absolutely adore Neurosis so they get my vote. You should get the latest Minsk album Brian. It�s really a great album too. The debut is pretty good too but not as interesting as the two next. I�ve posted reviews of all three albums: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/minsk.aspx?ac=minsk
Another recommendation would be the new Bloodiest album. I have a review coming of that soon. Really great stuff.

Thanks Jonas! Will do.
D'oh! Realized I forgot Yakuza. Again, I only know one album, "Of Seismic Consequences" but it is brilliant stuff. Loved it. |

To keep the discussion going:
Neurosis gets huge respect from me, as pretty much the fathers of post metal but also as just one of the more innovative metal bands of the time, but musically I am not a big fan  TSiB is pretty good, but that is about the only album I really like. Long story short, their music just never really captivates me. Little interest when I am listening. Maybe it is just too challenging  but I always love a challenge! Gave em many listens and Neurosis just doesn't do it for me.Also I really don't like his vox. Edited by The Angry Scotsman - 07 Jun 2011 at 2:46am |

I have a few albums by some of the bands mentioned, they rarely get a spin though. The Sparowes probably edge it for me but that might change when I see Neurosis next month. Seeing a band live always makes a huge difference to my listening experience. |

I can't make up my mind.
I've heard all the above bands, but do not have nearly enough of any of their albums to make a completely informed decision. The most albums I have by any of the above is 3 by The Ocean. Anthropocentric I voted as my favorite 2010 metal album, so I clearly like what they do. However, I still won't vote.

I wouldn't call Yakuza post, they are straight-up primordial sludge.
For me it's between Neurosis, Isis, and Russian Circles. Of the three Neurosis have the most albums I greatly enjoy, but I think Isis' 4 last albums are higher on my list than most of Neurosis' discography. I guess I will go with Isis. Edited by Triceratopsoil - 07 Jun 2011 at 1:07pm |

Yeah I don't have all the albums of all these bands but felt I should list em all for variation.
Remember Colin, I don't like to be uber specific...I take a fairly loose view on post metal. I consider post metal the best banner for (most of) Agalloch's work but didn't want to create a lulzstorm. Anthro and Helo by the Ocean are also pretty great I must say! |

From the list, Isis. Only have three of thier albums. Pelican would be second. Capricorns' "Ruder Forms Survive" is my fav album. Not a huge fan of this genre.

Only post metal album I absolutely adore is Oceanic, so Isis gets my vote.

Russian Circles for me, even though I only have their debut album. Hopefully I can get the rest of their discography during their upcoming gig a month from now.

Russian Circles put on the best live show I've ever seen.

I would love to see some post metal bands live.
Despite what I would think I've heard they, (as well as post rock bands) usually put on one hell of a show. |

Neurosis. They pioneered the genre. Even though I love Somewhere Along the Highway, Panopticon, and Precambrian; I'd take Souls at Zero or Given to the Rising instead. Their other albums have a good chance of being bumped up to five stars for me when I give them a re-listen.

Neurosis, by a considerable margin. Are there any groups getting around with an older 90's sludgy feel to them? I'm thinking something a long the lines of a more atmospheric (maybe experimental) eyehategod sound.

Without doubt Neurosis were the fathers.
I can see how Tool was an influence but Neurosis are the post metal pioneers. I just am not too big a fan of their stuff |

Out of this selection it's Isis just over Russian Circles (even if Russian Circles isn't really post-metal).
