This is because the vast majority of today's "post-rock" is just a derivative, samey pile. I'm not sure how we went from the emphasized experimentation of bands like Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis into the homogenized dull white noise of groups like this, though it's even more offensive that the public somehow thinks this is inherently intellectual music. How the hell does one come to say something "I'm not smart enough to review this"? Who pushes this thought, the media, or the public unfamiliar enough with the genre to not know better?

Here, I'm an idiot, but I can do a perfect review: Just buy a Talk Talk album and wait until the pseudo-intellectual wave of "post-rock-lite" drivel dies out after everyone can't tell one band apart from another anymore. 3 stars.

Although I do like GY!BE.
