glad you listened! the last track is my (slight) favourite as well, as for the long drone'y one - well, there's not much happening there, i'll give you that. i think with stuff like this, often you either like the texture, or not. for me it simply works (dunno why), i wouldn't mind it lasting an hour tbh, but i understand if it's different for you.
doesn't matter how many post-rock influences can have, it's based (at least the way i see it) on a simple principle to let the music breathe, have space. i agree that you can have rock/jazz/classical post-rock (for example tortoise) but you do just as well with just rock music (slint).
i stand by my comparison. obviously pryapisme play technically sophisticated music with many influences but what it adds up to is in my opinion just one big gimmick. they may be complex but their artistic merit is almost precisely like lordi's or babymetal's. the music's obvious and quite obnoxious.
what you linked to seems better (5.5/10-6/10) but i can certainly imagine it overstaying its welcome over the course of an album. i used to like this kind of music (well, i still do in some forms) but for some reason over the last year or so i've slowly grown (through artist like fred frith, loren mazzacane, mats gustafsson, sachiko m or william basinski) to dislike this "maximalist" approach. there's so much one note can say that a thousand notes could never say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
