Who needs heroin when there is Godflesh?

Review Score: (8/10)
Godflesh is a source of happiness in my life. I don't know why I am the only person I know who owns any Godflesh at all. Too bad for them. They are the greatest band in the history of music. Not only that, but the best song in the history of music is on this album. I'd pay full retail-CD price for "Gift From Heaven" alone. Upon hearing the first track, one discovers that Godflesh is doing anything but mellowing with age. It's fast and aggressive, and cures into slower but very methodical aggression with the album's second best song, "Hunter." Then comes "Gift From Heaven," where the album takes a turn toward the somewhat slower, somewhat gentler, somewhat more sensitive, culminating in the third best song, "Frail." Stunningly beautiful album. Why only 4 stars, if I'm so totally enraptured by them? Well, there are a smattering of tracks that I typically skip (listening to the whole thing takes a lot out of me). And with the 3 songs I mentioned, they've raised the bar so high, that they blew their own curve. So be it.
