This is one of my favorite post-rock albums. There isn't a sound on this album that isn't damn near perfect. Everything works together to create the most emotive, energenic, captivating music possible using just guitar, bass, drums, and occasionally piano and a couple other things. It just feels so organic and real, and the music is constantly shifting, never grows stagnant or gets into a rut, but the music seems to follow a fairly logical progression with nothing feelings arbitrary or out of place. Mogwai's best moments were the 16 that make up "Mogwai Fear Satan" which grows more and more intense and choatic before giving way to a beautiful flute section. It might be the most communicative instrumental song I've ever heard. LISTEN
