Lift Your Skinny Fists is great, but F♯ A♯ ∞ is the better Godspeed album imo.

I can't praise either one of them enough, but I think Lift Yr. Skinny Fists is just a bit better. I prefer it for its more upbeat, uplifting nature, larger scope, and themes.

That said, F# A# ∞ is really something special. Many bands have emulated the type of vibes found on LYSF, but F# A# is unlike anything I've ever heard. That dark, eerie, yet somehow hopeful mood is what sets it apart from everything else. It may be the single most terrifying album I've ever heard (some parts are almost unlistenable for me in a dark room) but also one of the most beautiful.

I listen to their entire discography as I am going to sleep. Sometimes I'll have gnarly dreams because of the fantastic soundtrack lingering in the background.

No love for Yanqui? I know it's not as good as the first two (and Slow Riot) but Atoms Fall and Mother****er are amazing.

Yanqui is awesome, but it's just not as adventurous or challenging compared to their other efforts. That said, it's still a lot better than anything most other post-rock bands put out.

I like these guys, though I do feel like there could be a bit more going on a lot of the time, they're a bit on the monotonous side at times.

F# A# ∞ is easily one of my favourite albums, and Lift Your Skinny Fists is yet another good album.

They're a rather strange band, and you either love them or hate them.

I'm diggin these guys, sounds like THE band to smoke ope and fall into a pipe dream to. Before the contender was Sunn O))) but these guys take the cake because you're less likely to fall into a pipe-nightmare about leaving the refrigerator open.
