This is so irredeemably dull thus far. Tentatively thinking it might be the worst GY!BE to date. I don’t understand these claims of it being a return to form.

Also lmao at slamming Godspeed being a boomer take. Don't even wanna try to unpick the ironies there

if only sput users were as picky about the dime-a-dozen metal albums that they hype up every year as they were any other genre

Metal averages are generally inflated aye. I catch plenty of flack in those threads for my (perceived) low ratings. I’m just picky about everything, apparently.

I don't think this is a return to form at all, but that's a good thing. They wore out their shtick long ago and this is something different. It's not quite as epic as their top achievements, but it's still superb. It honestly might be my 2nd favorite GY!BE LP (distinguishing from EPs here so people don't think I'm ranking it over Slow Riot), because I never got the hype for LYSF (it's got some epic crescendos, but is overlong and lacks the atmosphere of an F#A#). It edges Asunder (I think, barely), and as I've said before Allelujah is just elaborate packaging for We Drift Like Worried Fire (top 5 catalog song, middling album). Since I basically ranked their discog at this point, I'll add that Yanqui is decent and Luciferian Towers sucks.

slow riot, lysf, yanqui and this are all in the same general area for me. f#a# will always be king.
"I catch plenty of flack in those threads for my (perceived) low ratings."
jaja as has always been the case. i got flack for rating blackwater park 1.5/5 but tbf it does get annoying when you're hyped for something and a bunch of other ppl keep prattling "lol nope stupid and bad" hence I never even visit grimes threads anymore

I'm still miffed as to how this constitutes something different beyond the opener featuring a fairly uninteresting palm-muted riff and the drones being swapped for string interludes - got my rev half-drafted, so now is v much the time to convince me !
also Mladic slaps yo. Allelujah got that coverage

idk man it's the progression of harmonies, the guitar melodies, the slow building of those textures, the driving atmosphere and tension to this epic movie in your head. sure you need patience for it but like the ghosts in bird box idk if I can convince an unconvinced that these whale noises are actually the sounds of god. it either hits you or it doesn't imo

debates over this band in a nutshell
nicely done

I wasn't a big fan of their latest releases, they were a bit of a snoozefest tbh, so I wasn't looking forward to this, but seems like I should check this one.

This is already growing off of me for some reason

‘like 95% of post rock bands I think are bland and boring af, including most of the legendary ones‘
Godspeed at their best are excellent, no doubt about it, but let’s not pretend there isn’t other worthwhile post-rock out there. I think they get put on a pedestal.
Out of interest, what’s in the 5%? - if you’ve checked all of Slint, Bark Psychosis, Talk Talk, Glenn Branca, Tortoise, Sigur Ros, Yndi Halda, Silver Mt. Zion, Do Make Say Think, Mono, Mogwai, 65dos + ‘that album where Slowdive do better post-rock than most post-rock bands‘ (+ whatever obvious stuff I’ve missed) and come up with 5%, then I’m at a loss.
