listen

Perhaps the greatest album of all time. There is no other band like Godspeed and there never will be.

How can something be beautiful/hopeful yet be apocalyptic staffan? anyways, great album. best post rock album ever.

Just the most astonishingly beautiful album ever released.

In a thousand years, music will sound like this. in a million years, the world will sound like this.

Whola! Listen to this!

This album makes me want to cry... pure beauty and horror over 80 minutes.

10 it!!

I'd been listening to this album in awe for two straight years. Then I saw it on vinyl in a little record store in Victoria. Needless to say, I snapped it up. Best. Album. Ever.

The most beautiful, apocalyptic and hopeful record ever made. The record really helps when the world just feels cold. This is gonna be my favourite album forever and ever.

this album will change your life

One of the best albums ever made! This is what music is all about.

Listen. You can hear them marching from the other side. Soon they will be with us and the world will shake. Or, they are the greatest band on the planet. No one comes close to their constant challenge of beauty and so-called progress. Come the end, I'm on their side.

this is the most increadible album ever made by these guys!!!

perfect! nothing else to say.

The defining instrumental rock LP that no one will ever top. Listen and be blown away.

Breathtaking beautiful.

i have been listening to this CD for two years and it never gets old.

It's ridiculous, indescribably beautiful, and something that must be checked out by the individual. reccommended by a friend with excellent taste ^__~

Oh man, albums like this are what make wading through hours of modern indie rock mediocrity worth the plunge. Full of eerie dissonance, deeply moving sections of pure, organic, rollicking emotion, and a bottomless melancholy both hopeful and apocalyptic, nostalgic and foreboding. Insanely, insanely beautiful and human. Possibly the album of the decade.

I've never felt so moved by instrumental music. It continually surprises me and makes my body churn with inspiration each time I listen.

One of those albums that, if people had any taste, would be lauded for years with all sorts of musical, personal, and even spiritual accolades. "Transcendent" is not too strong a word to describe it.

i am very critic about music but this is soooooooooooo good en full of brilliant stuff: this is music in his strict form and a standard for other POST-ROCK bands after MOGWAI WE HAVE A TRUE WINNER.

It's truly mesmerizing (in a good way) -- very inspiring and emotionally uplifting; fell in love with this album since the first day I've heard it

This is post rock at its best. I cannot find a single flaw .. it is almost too good to be heavenly.

Whoa. This album is one of the most brilliant and beutiful things ive ever heard in my life. It is HANDS down the best album of 2000 and itll take some hard compition to overthrow it as the best album of the decade (well "Thought for Food" by the Books almost touches it in the Beuty Factor) and without hyperbole.........This is one of the best albums ever made (and probably the 2nd most overlooked)… Expand

This album is just incredible. The more quiet parts are just beautiful, and the harder parts will blow you away. Can they ever make a better album than this?

I came across this album with no knowledge of the band, let alone progressive rock. It defines the genre, hands down. Efraim can be a pretentious bastard all he wants as long as he keeps this up.

The GREATEST record of all time. Sleep is the simply the best "song" in the universe. I just can't live without this truly exceptional work of art.

A very awesome indeed. I have heard a lot of claims that Godspeed is rather pretentious. I don't think this can be true because they are so loyal to their beliefs and would never sell out.

extreamly emotional and moving. however, its not perfect. the songs tend to spend too much time building up and the payoffs are over much too quickly. despite this fact, this is still very beautiful and needs to be listened to by everyone who enjoys music.

If there is any word that best sums up this album, it's "Monumental". I've almost never heard a more complex and fascinating record in my life. You'll notice something every listen. Even the static and ambiance will grow on you like crazy.

Absolutely mind blowing. GY!BE is able to craft some of the most intense, beautiful, and melancholy tracks ever recorded. A must own for anyone with an open mind and a penchant for plain good music.

This album is like an incredible film score to a movie that I wish I could be part of. It's such a roller-coaster of so many different emotions that it reminds of the apocalypse and the dawn of time at the same time. It is impossible within this genre to appeal to everybody's tastes, but I implore anyone looking for a challenging piece of music to at least give Lift Your Skinny Fists a try. It's hard to fault Godspeed's ambition whether you like the album or not.… Expand
