F#A# Infinity is a great album--"Dead Flag Blues" is thoroughly disturbing and "Providence" was a decent track--but I don't feel like it best exemplifies what Godspeed was typically capable of. If I were to suggest an album, I might have to go with the standard and suggest "Lift Your Skinny Fists". The album just generates such great momentum from beginning to end, and the instrumentation is phenominal. And for how much I kind of enjoy listening to that spoken word piece at the beginning of "Dead Flag Blues", I feel like the speech clips in some of the tracks from "Lift Your Skinny Fists", paired with the accompaniment, summon emotional and intellectual issues that seem much more poignant and distressing.
"Static" and "They Don't Sleep Anymore" are two frightening pieces of music, especially due to the spoken-word segments and the theremin arrangements.
Great album. Can't decide which I like more, "Lift Your Skinny Fists" or "Yanqui UXO"
