no words suffice

Review Score: (10/10)
In a world full of derivative music, Godflesh did what couldn't be done... create something totally unique.

I actually bought this album based on some word of mouth. I had heard that Mike Patton named it his album of the year and said it made you think the batteries were going dead in your Walkman. So I immediately went out and hunted it down. Nothing was the same afterwards.

13 years later and Christbait Rising and Life is Easy still give me chills. Hell, I don't know what else to say except to give a nod to the person who mentioned Gira - I've thought about that connection before too, especially when listening to the Swans live Public Castration is a Good Thing.
