91. Top 10 of 2008

#10. Russian Circles - Station

Second proper release from Post-metal..err rock duo Russian Circles who had been straddling the fence between contemporary post rock and contemporary post metal. To most people the distinction is ridiculous, but to others a clear stylistic change has been made with Station from Enter. The melodic crescendos, in this release, are more awe inspiring and the punches from the dark are heavier and more beautiful. It took me awhile to appreciate this album. While not as initially trapping, its staying power through the longs months have earned it a place among the top 10.
