Well it certainly isnt their best album.

>>68262144

How do you guys like it? It just feels like you're riding a bike up hill an asphalt road on a hot July afternoon somewhere in New Orleans.

>>68262144
Yes it is.

>>68262217
did you finish it? motherfucker redeemer is a god tier track

>>68262217
Because it's their most depressing (yes, even more than f#a#), most captivating, emotional, politically charged, and most rewarding. It was also the best ending track they have ever done at Motherfucker=Redeemer Part 2

>>68262244
how is this better than LYSF

>>68262217
Honestly, it's perfect for driving through a snow storm.

Emily isn't a girl irl guys, I have insider info

>>68262288
i could see depressing just purely based on the lazy mood im getting but i was at least a lot more emotionally moved by Storm, particularly ending of Storm.

REMINDER

THEYRE ALL PRETTY GOOD THO.

In my opinion, it's more focused and emotional for me. The more depressing moments hit harder emotionally, and the more active moments feel more tense and rage inducing. It's a heavier album too.

>>68262346
The first two tracks are both depressing, like the feeling before something extremely terrible is going to happen. The second track is pure sadness at it's core.

>>68262353
1. Yanqui U.X.O
2. Lift your Skinny Fists
3. Asunder Sweet, and Other Distress
4. F#A#
5. Slow Riot
6. 'Allelujah

Maybe i just need to re listen to it for a third time around. But i feel like if its that good it should jump out at me the same way LYSF did. I think it also has to do with there lack of field recordings in Yanqui that make it sound so long and lazy and dragging on. When they put more field recordings it sounds more unique and dynamic to me and makes the instrumentals more prevalent somehow. Idk regardless the band is amazing.

>>68262288
>>68262246
This.

>>68262675
It's certainly a slow burner, but it's all about feeling the sound, and connecting with it emotionally. Sure LYSF is more of an adventure and more emotionally varied, like a cinematic experience. But, Yanqui U.X.O is more emotionally captivating, it's depressing, angry, tense, begrudging, and definitely climactic. The last track is like the moment the nuclear missile strikes, and being in the blast zone. It's fucking awesome.

>>68262144
12/28/99 is one of the best Godspeed tracks ever recorded.

>>68262217
For me it perfectly encapsulates how it felt to be a person at the time of its release, and the feeling of the years that followed. I know 9-15-00 is about the intifada, but for me it's a perfect sound for both the intifada and 9/11. The buildings coming down as the track progresses. Rockets Fall is the shock and awe campaign, Motherfucker=Redeemer is a reflection of the fact that we're IN this fucking time, living it. The track is apocalpytic but has subtle traces of the themes of LYSFLATH and F#A#Infinity, in that life is bleak, uncertain, and beautiful. And that ending, the only sample on the album, fucking perfect.

am I the only person in the world who for some reason without fail thinks of Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill when seeing this album cover?

>>68262973
>>68262797
Im listening to it again and i can see that now. Right now im trying to understand what the fuck the album is about, like as in what they ment vs. the listeners interpretation.

>>68262973
>I know 9-15-00 is about the intifada
It's not, the original title is 12-28-99, the day Efrim's dog Wanda died.

>>68263030
Not anymore
