Godflesh forges ahead again

Review Score: (10/10)
Here we find that Godflesh explores the ground between Songs of Love and Hate and Love and Hate in Dub. While it contains many elements familiar to Godflesh, we find that they are applied in new ways, bringing about a sound unlike previous Godflesh albums, while remaining true to what we've come to love about the band. This is an album that will please Godflesh fans, possibly disappoint those still waiting for the sequel to Streetcleaner (that was Songs of Love and Hate guys), and moreso than most of their work, stands to win new fans - primarily due to the more immediate electronic presence. On a tangent- (if it's within the guidelines) I'd like to make mention of the similiarities between some of Godflesh's work and the older material by the Swans. If you are a Godflesh fan and are not familiar with the Swans (and many aren't)- you really should check them out. I'm not kidding, they were great. Waste no time and check out some of the samples from Cop/Young God, Real Love, or Kill the Child. Hearing the heavy plodding pace of the music along with Michael Gira chanting "Stick a knife in me, I'm worthless..." over and over again always reminds me of Godflesh. I'm not kidding, do it. You'll like it.
