Can't wait to get off work and give this a listen. Loved the last album and the live show was powerful stuff. It made me feel like a melting vhs tape.

This record rips.

Agreed. My favorite record of theirs since skinny fists.

Loving the album so far.
The last(3) tracking(s) are pure ecstasy!

I've only had one listen, amazing. The closing track dropped my jaw...

OK, just finished my first listen. How good is this?!
Bloody hell, I really have to see them live again.

In other words. This. oh bloody hell, yes this:

I can't stop listening to this album!!
Can't wait to see them in 3,5 weeks!

held off on listening until this weekend so I could fry and jam it at the lake what an incredible experience so happy we finally have a proper version of buildings! this album is TRIUMPHANT. songs for revolution. it's like a good book you can't put down. I'll be traveling to the closest place they play when they tour again. their music makes me feel lucky to be alive. what a time what a time. bosses hang = RIFF OF ALL RIFFS

This album express hope in a way I've never experience before. Almost makes you feel ecstatic like a teenager in love.

I listened to this for the first time while I was really high.

Oh boy.

Last time I listened to Godspeed stoned was when I saw them live. My friend and I both had panic attacks I spent half the show outside and him in the bathroom.

And I think that's why I'm vaguely disappointed whenever I listen to it. It's too - something - light, airy, hopefully, reaching, dunno.

Based on the pre-promotion, I think I was hoping for expecting the opposite. Heavy, burn it all down, corpses cinders and ashes.

One of the better records of the year, sure. But definitely not the high point of their catalog.

That sounds like something I'd love to try once lol

I'm not a stoner but stuff here is just ok

They're headlining roadburn this year so stoned GYbE is a high probability for me.

Saw 'em in Brighton last night. 4th time and they just never cease to blow me away.

So I had this niggling feeling that the production on the new album is a bit flat and muddy - the music's there but the dynamics just don't seem to be. It sounds like the whole album's been run through a Tubescreamer with that mid-range hump. But it all sounds fucking immense live! Anthem For No State really was world-ending, and they played the two shorter tracks back-to-back which made them feel more like one piece that had been split in two. Then they ended with Blaise Bailey Finnegan and it was just fucking brutal.
