    Even though Post Self isn't exactly what was expected, it's a masterful release from two musicians who seem to be incapable of creating anything short of exquisite.

    Brisk, 47-minute runtime aside, Post Self is a daunting listen, as well as an essential one, even by Godflesh’s sterling standards.

    Because of its occasional bursts of rhythm and melody, Post Self is one of the more accessible Godflesh albums.

    Post Self is an extreme, and extremely good, record, as moving as it is troubling. [Jan 2018, p.69]

    Simply put, Post Self is another stunning addition to Godflesh’s uncompromising thirty-year run.

    Post Self settles to balance between Jesu's shoegaze wasteland and Godflesh's constraining rhythms and doom-laden riffs. The balance between the two bands permits Broadrick to explore inward while still allowing for his visceral criticism of a world gone mad.
  8. AllMusic

    Post Self is more moody than direct, and isn't the most hard-hitting, immediate album in the Godflesh catalog, but for anyone who equally appreciates Broadrick's metal and electronic sides, the album is as stunning as one would expect.

    On their eighth album, the breadth of Godflesh’s influences are wider than ever, and their capacity for psychological excavation runs deeper.
