The week that was June 23-June 29

For some reason, I began to be into post-rock at the moment. Post-rock is an amazing genre where bands use rock instrumentations with a non-rock purposes. Some of the bands can make songs which last up till 21 minutes! It's really, really groovy srsly. Downloaded 2 albums last week. (I'm still waiting for my new Coldplay to finish downloading)

Giants - They, the Undeserving


Very, very intense band. Every song is filled with great crescendos and intense buildups. Recommended for people who loves other music for a change.

The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood


Another post-rock band that I was so eager to listen to since last year. I couldn't manage to get their album until yesterday. Thank you Google! Before I review, I must say the band name is great. Samuel L. Jackson + The Jackson Five = The Samuel Jackson Five. Anyway, their sound is kinda unique even their genre is normally characterize as repetitive and long-winded. Imagine instrumental jazz with some attitude. I like the most was that one of the songs had a climatic buildup till the middle when I thought I know where they are about to go, the sound abruptly stopped and changes its tone.
