So, I know I've already bumped a few things in this section tonight, but this is maybe my favourite band.

F# A# infinity is their best album imo, say what you will about skinny fists.

responding to old posts because I like this band

It was great and worthy of the GY!BE name. Not as good as their two masterpieces (F#A# and LYSF) but superior to the EP and Yanqui. In my opinion, it has the most raw energy of any Godspeed album and actually feels vital and alive, which is something I can't say about most post-rock albums. So in terms of recording and production, it's better than any other Godspeed album. Doesn't quite reach the scope and depth of the two aforementioned classics but it's exactly the Godspeed album I needed from them at the time.

Hope you really enjoyed the show because this is one band I'd pay three digits to see.

Yeah, I definitely approved of A!BDA. Mladic was my go to track for my daily bus ride for a while. I agree it's not at the level of something like f# a#, but it just sounds so huge.

Yeah, it was worth it. I caught the only 1/2 of it though because it was a short set, and DC traffic fucking sucks dick.

Hey, bump away guys! I´m right now in the process of falling in love with GY!BE, having downloaded the 4 albums and EP ( F#A#, Slow Riot, Skinny Fists, Yanqui, and Allelujah.) For me their only failings are a couple of tracks that have too much drone, or ill-chosen spoken word sections - that BBF story for example.

^ Hey, me too, DeadChannel, Mladic is a great piece of driving music!

Two quick questions before I go to work, please:-

(i) When people are talking about "the new album" do they mean Allelujah ?

(ii) What´s the verdict about these YouTube clips; genuine GY!BE material or hoax ? ( I don´t want to start enthusing about about a piece of music until I can be sure of its provenance :laughing: )

I was thinking of getting tickets to see them. Feel like it'd be a unique experience.

Unless they´re really expensive I´d give it a go, James. From what people say they put on a good performance and YOLO !

They're on my list of bands to see. Sadly, that list has very few checkmarks.

I remember liking "sleep" a lot, but other than that... nice and dull.

That picture is their actual first album from 1994, but nobody's sure if the recording is real.
