Once a year there is usually a post rock album that I fall in love with. This year, it seems like it may be Mono's Hymn To The Immortal Wind. This is an incredibly epic album, and you might think "well aren't all post rock albums 'epic'"? Maybe, but this record takes epic to a whole new level. The production and orchestral feel of this album are extremely powerful. The 26 piece orchestra sounds brilliant. This is also in the top 3 saddest records I've heard in a long while. Be sure to check this album out and buy it when it is released on March 24th.

Keep an eye out for this record on my top 10 list of 09.
