What is the first term that pops into your head when I say

Emotional Dishonesty.

GYBE is the only /mu/core band I couldn't understand the appeal of. The music sounds coy and forceful. It sounds like a cheesy soundtrack to a photoslideshow made by a 40-year-old soccer mom with her fellow soccer mom friends. Pretentious is an overused and misused word, but its usage in describing this album is apt. The music is trite and plain, but pretends to be something profound, both musically and aesthetically.

The fact that so many books still name Godspeed You! Black Emperor as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" post-rock band ever only tells you how far post-rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Post-rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. Godspeed You! Black Emperor sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Post-rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Godspeed You! Black Emperor did anything worthy of being saved.
