01.04.14 | Share your firsts on my album battles as well, it's good to speak of music as a personal issue and as friends!
My first Godspeed was Infinity and it remained my favorite album ever for a long time. It slowly grew a little off me, so I went listening to another Godspeed record.
Listened to Skinny Fists, and later, the Slow Riot Ep. Skinny Fists was and still is held in my highest regard, but it is just too long. Truly an experience, indeed, but too long, even for GY!BE standards. One LYSF song per day does just fine, each song is perfect on their own.
With that being said, I cast my vote to the greatest EP of all time, Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada. In less run-time it acts with the same focus and precision on Infinity and the same pretentiousness and emotion on Skinny Fists. C'mon, Moya might be the best opener of all time and BBFIII the best closer of all time. |

01.04.14 | as much as i love all of their releases, F#A# (infinity) is my pick.
the atmosphere just takes hold of me every time |
demigod!
01.04.14 | if this was ranked i would agree with that ranking

01.04.14 | infinity |

01.04.14 | lysf by a significant margin. it was my first godspeed album but i thought it was painfully boring for at least 4 years before i really got into the band (via slow riot). if this band has a definitive statement, for me lysf is it. |

01.04.14 | Nice to see some different perspectives in only 8 comments, sputnikers!
We've got 5 for Infinity, 3 for Slow Riots and a jaw-dropping single vote for Skinny Fists. Keep
voting, everyone! |

01.04.14 | i actually think yanqui is better than f#a# |
anarchistfish
01.04.14 | I think yanqui is better than lysf, or at the very least the same level. has a similar, though lesser,
desolate foggy vibe. lysf feels more spiritual and grandiose |

01.04.14 | my first godspeed was lift yr skinny fists. i checked it out after browsing through sputnik's top 100 albums of the decade. i didnt like it on first listen yet i didnt hate it. i kept listening and listening because there was something about it that made me keep revisiting it. it wasnt until i played it while i was playing saints row 2 that it finally clicked with me (weird i know).
so yeah my vote goes to lift yr skinny fists. |

musicalmedicine
01.04.14 | Infinity 7, Slow Riot 7, Skinny Fists 5. Things are getting even here, but I'm still in awe with Fists being the lowest rated on this thread. |
YakNips
01.04.14 | Skinny Fists |

01.04.14 | when will these end |
NordicMindset
01.04.14 | Slow Riot = 4.8
Infinity = 4.7
Skinny Fists = 4.6 |
Artuma
01.04.14 | "Moya might be the best opener of all time and BBFIII the best closer of all time."
kinda dumb handle them as an opener and closer tho since they are basically one song which the whole ep consists of :D |
YakNips
01.04.14 | Skinny Fists = 5
Slow Riot = 4.9
Infinity = 4.9 |
musicalmedicine
01.04.14 | Infinity 7, Slow Riot 7, Skinny Fists 6.
Artuma, HAHA, yes, it is a little dumb, but it's what they are afterall x) |
Artuma

01.04.14 | yesss |
Judio!
01.04.14 | F#a#infinity is my pick...almost without question. BBF3 is quite a masterpiece but overall Slow Riot doesn't have nearly the impact F#a#infinity has, probably due to its short length. Skinny Fists has some wonderful moments on it, but overall it never really did it for me for some reason. |

01.04.14 | F# = Slow Riot > Lysf |

Greem
01.05.14 | exactly, 1 is 1, 2 is 2 , 3 is 3 |
PortraitsOfDecay
01.05.14 | This is pretty tough. F#A# is the most consistent but Skinny Fists has "Storm" which is probably my favorite song ever. I'll say F#A# sharp because it was my first. |
Polyethylene
01.05.14 | Infinity is sweet, rest of their discog is inconsistent overblown dross |

akimbo
01.05.14 | i mean zero kanada is my favorite, but i feel like i should say f#a# because it's so much longer. idk man. they're all fuckin good |
musicalmedicine
01.05.14 | If Kanada is your fav vote for it. It being shorter is one of the main reasons why I prefer it. Short and effing sweet, one can never grow tired of it. 11 for Riot, WHERE U RIOT FANS? |
musicalmedicine
01.05.14 | Well, re-listened to Skinny Fists and I'm taking my vote for Riot. I re-cast my vote for Skinny Fists. Infinity 15, Riot 9, Skinny Fists 14. It's just that good, perfection to say the least. So I'm re-making my question, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU LIFT YOUR SKINNY FISTS LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN FANS? |
Ending
01.06.14 | F#A# is the best one but Slow Riot is a fairly close second. Moya is a very very good song - maybe even their best - but I think that Blaise just falls short in comparison and really doesn't close off the release very well. My only gripe with F#A# is that I think that Providence ends with sort of a hopeful tone and that detracts from the album's otherwise hopeless and barren atmosphere. And that's a far more minor gripe.
Actually it's the same gripe because I'm just saying it doesn't close off the release very well. I guess I just like F#A# more. |
musicalmedicine
01.06.14 | What about Fists bro? |
Ending
01.06.14 | F#A# > Slow Riot > Allelujah > LYSF > Yanqui for me. |
MO
01.06.14 | slow riot is best, narrowly edges F sharp |
musicalmedicine
01.06.14 | Allelujah seriously could have been best GYBE ever if not for those drone tracks. Mladic and We Droft Like Worried Fire on one single album? Damn. |
NightProwler
01.14.14 | Only heard Infinity of these three records, lol. So my vote goes to that one |
Artuma
01.14.14 | illegal vote |
North0House2
01.14.14 | BBFIII rules but Storm stomps it harder.
Definitely LYSF -> Kanada -> F#A# oo in my opinion.
But they're all so close that it's pretty much irrelevant. |
ILJ
01.14.14 | personally i like the EP best, followed closely by LYSF, followed closely by F#. all really, really good albums |
musicalmedicine
01.15.14 | Infinity 18, Riots 11, Fists 14. |
