favorite Godflesh album?

[Dr Alex]

I really like this first ep.

Godflesh is one of my top 5 bands ever!
I saw them last year at Brutal Assault. Heavy as hell!!!

I like track Flowers a lot! The most underrated track by them.

One of the best! No question.

[L.Ø.G.R.]

Streetcleaner, and Love & Hate In Dub. I am way into all the breakbeats. Especially after listening to a fair amount of Curse of the Golden Vampire.

[Worthless.]

Anyone dig the Fall of Because album?



Some of my favorite tracks are on there...

So has anyone listened to the new Godflesh album that came out today? Any initial reactions?

Listening now. Sounds really really good and heavy.

[ANDROPHILIA]

not sure about this kind of returns

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

I second that Androphilia. While Godflesh albums like Streetcleaner, Pure and the final one, Hymns, stand as some of the most important in my record collection I will give this new one a wide berth. I have no time for reunions. I never did and I never will.

is it supposed to sound this distorted or is it problem on my end?

[practical life]

probably the worst sounding guitar tone of any godflesh album, unfortunately..

[Dr Alex]

After few listening during night bicycle driving I like it a lot. Massive and angry album. Great one!

[Sleep of Ages]

I listened a couple of times and I'm feeling a little underwhelmed... Guitar tone aside, the bass tone that was probably my favorite element of Godflesh doesn't comes close to that sound I love so much from the first albums and the drum machine is just.. So bland. Like, they used a drum machine because that's what they did in the old days but now it feels like there was no effort put to it, the sound sounds a little cleaner and more modern but not "evolved" at all, less aggressive and the drum patterns are very "meh". A lot of times the music made me think of Sepultura, and not exactly the "good old days Sepultura", but something from Chaos AD (that I kinda like, but...).
There are some good stuff in it, and I liked the vocals, I'll definitely listen to it more times, but right now I'm not feeling it so much.

Favorites still everything until "Pure".

[Andrew McIntosh]

Yea, the bass sounds pretty good, and personally I don't mind the guitar sound, but I was underwhelmed as well, although for different reasons. I didn't care much for the vocals, and in fact found the drum patterns a little too busy - I think more could have been done with less, especially less high-hat. Ultimately, though, there was little in the actual music that gripped me.

My big Godflesh moment came from "Streetcleaner", which to me sounded unlike anything else I had heard until then and impressed me instantly. Funnily, when I brought the first ep after hearing "Streetcleaner" I wasn't so impressed except for the track "Weak Flesh" which is still head-banging great to me. And I haven't heard anything else for various reasons.

I bought both the new album and the EP on cassette, straight from Hydra Head Industries, and for some reason they shipped them in those shitty poly cassette cases, so the j-cards are a little damaged. Whatever. I'm still letting the new material set in, but I like it so far.

Seeing them back in April was a great experience.
