| 4.5 superb | Nash J! | December 24th 13 |
He Has Left Us Alone is sheer sadness mixed with unrelenting intensity. Each track
intensifies as they progress, yet always retain a hint of melancholy and never lose their
ambient identity. Every emotion this album incites is beautiful. The album's 45-minute
length flies by at unfathomable speeds but still leaves the listener satisfied with the
experience. It may not be quite as effective as some Godspeed You! Black Emperor
releases, but both artists are different and this comparison is just unfair. Despite all
I have said, He Has Left Us Alone still has a certain unique charm to it that I can't
quite put my finger on.

This is post-rock with an incredible atmosphere. While it is very sad and depressing, it is also very beautiful.

He Has Left Us... is an album without time signatures. What does that sound like? Well, He Has Left Us... ebbs and flows as if time didn't exist; twenty minutes passes as if they were two. A Godspeed You! Black Emperor derivative, A Silver Mt. Zion plays post-rock whereas the later Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra is more noise rock/folk. The spirit of destructive beauty that characterizes Godspeed You! Black Emperor is still alive in the earlier works of A Silver Mt. Zion.

Profoundly depressing; too much so, really. It is, however, brilliant in its minimalist instrumentation and how songs like 13 Angels and Blown-out Joy start with almost nothing and build to climaxes that send goosebumps down the arms.
