Cool. I find Godflesh to be quite anthemic, in a strange way.

It's 3rd on my to buy list, allthough I haven't seen it anywhere yet.
When I do, I'll use the old nifty hide it in another section behind other cds trick to stop someone else buying it before me. 8)

Fantastic review of great album, Aaron. This one has managed to stay in steady rotation in my CD player for years.

I felt like that the first tme I listened. Boring and never changing music but after I discovered real black metal I could appreciate this album too. Repetative music can suck or be hypnotizingly beautiful. This album is the god of the latter category.

after reading this review i think ill be staying away from this album, sounds horrifying and inhuman, i'll just stick with some maiden and a dash of liquid tension opeth...you know, the happy stuff

A really great album.
The first time I listened, I thought "What the hell is this shit?" (Que coño es esta mierda, in spanish), but after 3 listens, I really appreciate that symphony of the industrial era. And now, when I'm in certain mood, I listen to Godflesh, specially Steetcleaner and Pure.
Not an easy album (especialy for the happy side of metal fans) but a great one.

Agreed with other comments here. Hard to enjoy but worth it.

I feel like digging up some old threads today.. I don't find this record a hard listen at all. Actually it struck me as a great album already when it ran me over the first time. Great in all it's devastating glory.

However, I don't quite understand where the grind and certainly not the -core enters the equation. The relatively short lyrics? The vocal delivery? Maybe I just don't know enough about grind.

Grind has a lot to do with repetitive minimalism. Or that's one interpretation of it.

I've listened to this a couple times now and I like it quite a bit. Very interesting album.
