Post Rock Classic
[...]

It is rated the best Post Rock album of all time and I have no arguements about it. Anyone who thinks this is just typical "repeats the same riff over and over music" need to grow a heart becuase this music has more feeling in it that anything I've heard with words...ever. Just listen to "Apartment Song", close your eyes and imagine a young boy trapped in his room, in a corner without a meal tonight. Tears shall come to your eyes. Even better; listen to "Goodbye Enemy Airships The Landlord Is Dead" (Title Track and Last Song) and imagine a girl who is harrassed at school then proceeds to stab herself becuase of them eventually going to far and dies in the bathtub....end of album. There are parts where it sounds like hearts beat, and the trio of classical instruments playing slightly stressed chords brings to mind the words that can heard so bad...unless they aren't heard.

I've heard this album more times that should be allowed and I'm ready to go again. If I ever need a friend to accompany me on a lonely night drive or just sitting around the house or even better yet something to fall asleep to (not in a bad way). This is the album for all of that. Only situation where it doesn't fit the bill is when you need to "liven up the party" becuase this song is full of sad notes, and I'm loving every single one of them.

Their follow up "Winter Hymn...." isn't bad either but this is their classic without a doubt. I can not wait to hear new Do Make Say Think music, these guys are blowing everybody out of the water. Godspeed gets the glory but these guys need the credit for turning me (as well as plenty of others) into hardcore post rock listeners. Thank You Do Make Say Think.

Boring, uninspired wallpaper
This album excels at one thing: it shows us that playing and compositional skills are not necessary for releasing an album and making money. The "minimal" guitar passages are probably played by someone who has never seen a guitar before. The music is bland and unispired, and even the ambient/experimental textures are done by default.

Excuse me, but I have nothing else to say, except that if you want some atmospheric post-rock, go and buy The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky.

The landlord is dead
One of the best things out of Canada. The track "The landlord is dead" is one of my favorite instrumental songs. If you like Explosions in the Sky this band will interest you, but unlike explosions their songs dont flow together, each song is presented as its own song. Great solid album. My only problem with it is that at times, it seems repetative, because usually once the song establishes a riff, it stays throughout the song. But other than that, it is a great album.

Hard to decide but...
This is definitely the best DMST album to date. Hard to decide between this and Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn but this one tops it because every song is memorable. I've had all their albums for about a year now and this is the only one i still listen to without skipping tracks, its all good. If your real enthusiastic about this you should get WHCHSH if only for the first track, "Frederica". Then stop listening to post rock.

Excellent constellation release
this album is terrific, though not for everyone, highly recommended for listeners of post-rock and constellation lovers, if you don't have it yet get it.

the final track "Landlord Is Dead" is not only my favorite track on the album, but one of my favorite songs from an artist/band. Between 12-13 minutes of catchy dreamy shoegaze swirls with a lovable repetitive beat. the album has obvious influences of classic dub/funk/blues.
