Having been away from the grind core scene and Godflesh in particular, I wasn't
sure what to expect on this new album. After a quick listen, it was obvious
that Justin had mellowed quite a bit from the days from the bygone days of
"Pure". The same grinding guitar chords that Justin has made famous are used
throughout the entire album, but this time the overall mood of the entire album
is somber and morose. The electronics are almost used as much as they were on
"Streetcleaner", albeit a little more cleaned up and better produced. The rest
of the album is fresh and totally unexpected. Industrial it is not, but
instead a bizare mix of morbidity and doom. I can't decide where exactly
Godflesh intends to go with this release, but I'll tell you one thing, it's one
of the most innovative and new turn of events that a entrenched grind core band
has taken in years. So if you acquire a copy for yourself, keep an open mind,
and a staunch listening ear and be ready for slightly different, yet reticent
Godflesh.
