    f#a#infinity was a little disappointing. Lift Yr Fists and Slow Riot have yet to make the rotation.

    I like the black anti american album. Great band to space out on.

    lift yr skinny fists is one of the greatest pieces of recorded music ever.

    Godspeed is awesome that is for sure. Be sure to check out their latest release, Yanqui U.X.O. I highly regret not attending the Silver Mt. Zion concert last night...this band includes a lot of the members from Godspeed.

    Though f#a# was a little disappointing, I really liked the monologue in the beginning of 'the dead flag blues'

    F#A# (Infinity) is one of the best albums I ever heard. It's better than the other albums of GY!BE. :)

    I believe that is the anti american one right. Black is it not?

    I don't think so. The trip you right out of your socks yes, rock no. That is my only problem with them that it is too mellow. No matter I have moods that fit with that. I like Explosions in the sky and Mogwai better than I do Godspeed even though they are very cool as well.

    F# A# (Infinity) is still better than Explosions in the sky and Mogwai

    after just getting thru Skinny Fists, I feel the same way as you do. I would tend to listen to Mogwai before reaching for this and perhaps Pelican before that. I tend to have the need to rock out a tad more. Of course this is a minor gripe, GYBE is pretty fucking good.

    Yes they are. Pelican, I was told is more metal like, I still didn't check them out myself.

    It is more metal like however they aren't a huge stretch from Explosions and Mogwai at their most pissed off.

    I saw GY!BE open for Low before I had ever heard any of the records. Definitely a great live band. I think all that was out at the time was F#A#(infinity). I missed the boat on buying one of the first pressing copies of the vinyl, but eventually picked it up from Constellation.

    I think my favorite release is Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada.
    Statistically speaking, you're more likely to be pitied by Mr. T than you are to have feet.
