This being Godspeed! You Black Emperor (GSYBE) first LP release on Kranky records, finds a band experimenting with a post rock sound that, perhaps even to the band, is on the border of madness in audio form. When I say madness, I don't mean it in a derogative context in fact it is quite beautiful. It sounds as though the band is creating something whole and new and the record actually shapes itself. It's as if, no person could actually write the music, its as if it has always been here in all of us and GSYBE managed to record it first. With no lyrics to guide you through the concept, the art work and spoken word allows the listener to truly experience the record in a truly personal way. My interpretation is mine and you potentially can have your own as well. The landscape is bleak. The light of hope is slowly being smothered. Our world is exactly as we have allowed it to become and GSYBE provides the soundtrack. Do yourself a favor and buy everything this band has put out.Read full review
If you think you 've listened to everything but you haven't heard this one, you'd better go deaf now. The Godsped crew came up with a piece of art that nothing has ever come up to. This is the 100% pure music. YOu may not appreciate it, but you must not ignore it.
