Why do people consider this as Godspeed's worst album? The first 10 minutes of Motherfucker=Redeemer are amazing. Allelujah! Don't bend Ascend isn't as good as this.
rockets fall on rocket falls is also amazing

Who the fuck considers it their worst album??
It's their best after Skinny Fists and Slow Riot.
F#A# is good but it's their most overrated work.

I like it more than their others because it has less useless droning and samples and more epic crescendos
Not even being ironic, this is the pinnacle of Crescendo-core Post-Rock

F#A# is overrated for sure. I don't know, Yanqui U.X.O is definitely one of my favorite albums so naturally I have a look at the reviews and I hear people calling it Godspeed's worst album.

>F#A# is their most overrated

How would one describe the sentimentality sincerity of this band?

>Why do people consider this as Godspeed's worst album?
By "people" do you mean "Pitchfork"?

That is their best album. The rest of their discography doesn't hold up, upon multiple listenings as well as this.

F#A# is great, but overrated simply because of the cover art
F#A# > Yanqui UXO > Allelujah > LYSF > Slow Riot > Asunder
This is an OBJECTIVE TRUTH

p4k gave it a shitty review and drones hate on it. No clue why p4k didn't like it though, it's their strongest album in terms of both compositional strength and cohesiveness. I guess they just didn't like that Godspeed ditched the gimmicky samples and suite style as their compositional ability matured.
Allelujah is really good; Albanian and Gamelan are both fucking masterpieces that continue on with this style, but the album is hurt by its lack of cohesiveness. Asunder is an excellent single piece, but on account of that it feels lacking in content as an album. I've said it before--if Allelujah and Asunder would have been released as a double album, it would be a contender for Godspeed's greatest album.
for reference, my rankings go
Yanqui > LYSF > Allelujah > ASOD > Slow Riot > F#A#infinity, although 2&3 and 3&4 are both really close respectively
