I've got Standards, and though I haven't listened to it much
it seemed pretty good.

some people are stupid ^^^ HeWhoCannotBeNa, if they are
boring go listen to some punk, Im sure itll fit your
attention span a lot better, how sad that you could think
such an intense and full bodied band could be boring... tisk
tisk.

1. TNT (simply the best ever)
2. Standards
3. Millions Now Living Will Never Die

if I had the self-titled album itd probally be 4th, as Ive
heard some tracks.

I could never entirely get into their shit. Just too mellow

A WIRE journalist Simon Hopkins (or Reynolds, I always
confuse them 2) coined the term "Post Rock" to describe
chicago's post-Slint era. Slint was the band all those other
bands were born from (Gastr del Sol, The Sea and The Cake,
Tortoise etc.)

Yes I am. It was all an elaborate lie just to draw attention
to myself. I have low self esteem you see and it was a way
of boosting my ego. Nah, I'm at the university with my girlf
and so have a quick half an hour. So here's your chance to
insult me while I'm here.

someone on here has the best slint album cover as their
avatar.
it's the best because it's instrumental, w/o any of that
crap spoken word liek on spiderwebs.
yuck.
i'd defiantely say they influenced mogwai.
chicago post rock is just any band that either has sam
prekop in it, or aomeone he has been in a band with!
he he he

I dont really like TNT or millions now living will never die
too much. self titled and standards are definately the
best. Djed off mnlwnd is almost a waste of 20 minutes the
last 10 minutes are good but I could do without the first
10.
