User Reviews

	Matt Snyder - New York, NY, USA
A majestic post-rock masterpiece from this Canadian collective. 4 tracks that span a gamut of emotion, textures, and sounds - everything from quiet percussion, instrumental ambient drone, sprawling wall of sound, epic, building crescendos and melancholic come-downs, all sprinkled with an occasional background of murky-found-sound/spoken-word moments. When people refer to the music as ''pieces'' or ''movements'' rather than low-brow 'songs', you know you're in for a potentially pretentious listening experience. But, ultimately, I believe godspeed pulls it off admirably. A true epic that will probably go down as one of the decade's best when all is said and done.

absolutely wonderful!
	Mike McGuire - New York, , USA
This record evokes more emotion than PMS. Landscapes of sound rising to the greatest of heights and falling to the depths.. Upon my first listening to this record my faith was partially restored in modern music.. this is sonic genius.
	Michael Kaczmer - Romeoville, IL, USA
This album is what hope and beauty sound like, when pressed through the guise of despair and worry. Okay.. enough of that pretentious crap. This is an amazing album, and GYBE! just keep getting better and better. 4 tracks, divided into small movements, that play together and ebb and flow, creating a sound that you recognize, but is still new to you. Buy this album, and fall in love with music all over again.

This is the most exciting album I've heard in at least a couple of years. It rasises the bar for post-everything music so high I don't think it will be topped until their next record. I Have listened to the track "SLEEP" about 20 times & it still totally captivates me, I can't say that about Many 20+ minute songs. Buy this right now if you love music, period.

the vibrations that resonate from this recording could not be more perfect. they are playing 3 nights here in nyc and i could not get tickets. i will be standing outside hoping for the chance to get in to see how they pull it off live. can they really be human?
	Chris Morley - Manchester, , UK
In a word, this album is ASTONISHING. I challenge anybody to find an LP that has more to offer than this one. The climaxes are incredible, and I would even go as far to say that they are orgasmic when played live. Superb.

Take hold of each other's hands as in ordinary hand-shaking and press the top of your thumb hard against the first knuckle-joint of the first finger near the hand. If the person whom you are shaking hands with is a Mason, he will generally return a like pressure on your hand.
	John Paris - Austin, TX, USA
After listening to "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" in its entirety, I can conclude that this band is, [in a word] hallucinogenic.
