    I wanted to like this, but it's just not for me. I quite like some of the music, but I much prefer more aggressive stuff.

      Editing … I didn't even notice them until a friend mentioned the band name, This Will Destroy You. I thought he was joking, but yeah, it's an actual band. Thing is, I've never had the urge to buy another album for them. I mean, I've already hear their songs enough times in commercials and stuff. It's like...a movie trailer in rock album form. Maybe I'll buy one of their albums. And I bet that it'll sound just like this, only longer.

      Editing … It's not exactly shoegaze rock either. The last song on the album is literally like a suspense movie composition. The Wikipedia description for the band's genre described it best--"Post-rock." Yeah, it sounds very...post-rock to me. >_<

      Editing … (Looks up post-rock on Wikipedia) Okay, I just assumed that post-rock was just another form of prog rock. I usually get lazy and say, "Eh, just call it rock." I mean, it is just another way of saying "rock music." Lol.

      Editing … Post-Rock is what you get when you throw ambient and rock together. If you want I'll throw you a personal "Essential Guide", its one of my favorite genres

    There aren't too many instrumental hard rock bands, so Young Mountain came as a surprise to all the music critics. Although it didn't received unanimous praise, This Will Destroy You stirred a lot of buzz around the music publications. Pretty soon, the last song from Young Mountain EP, "There are Some Remedies Worse Than Disease," appeared in the trailer for the Taking of Pelham 123. They soon gained a rep as the essential hard rock instrumental band for every occasion.

      Editing … I love this fucking album, and I LOVE This Will Destroy You, but never in my mind did the words "Hard Rock" cross my mind while listening to it. It has more in common with Shoegaze than it does Hard Rock

      Editing … I have a shoegazer friend gives me the weird look if I keep mentioning shoegaze for every shoegazer-ish band. Lol. But yes, I would call it more shoegazer-ish.

      Editing … Yeah, but a lot of movies use three of those songs for everything. "Quiet," "I Believe In In Your Victory" and "There are Some Remedies" get played all the time. I literally heard "I Believe In Your Victory" in a Cedar Sinai hospital commercial just recently.
