Night Raider
Crippled Black Phoenix is made up of musicians from other bands, notably the bassist of Mogwai. The first album of their double release, Night Raider, is as pretentious as you can imagine. It goes overboard on experimentation and has some laughable vocal sections reminiscent of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
2/5.
The Resurrectionists
Luckily, the second album, The Resurectionists, is a massive improvement. It has a stronger folk feel, which is interesting on a post-rock album. Also, the vocals are much better done this time around, and the songs don't seem as bloated. It's a longer album yet flows much better than Night Raider did.
3/5.
