Godflesh

[Discovery]

What are the people's feelings about this groundbreaking and extremely influential band? The entire Nu-metal genre and a lot of other popular 90's music owes its entire existence to them. I've never seen them discussed or even mentioned in this forum.

good band. better then most of the bands people talk about around here.

 

[CAIRATH]

They're good, but I don't know in how far I would really consider them influential. On the timeline of industrial music they came fairly late and their sound isn't really super innovative or something. Though I have not heard much of their later work so maybe I have missed out on something.

Don't like them at all, sorry. More guitars, less bleeps plz.

Have you heard Streetcleaner? I heard they went more for a techno sound on later albums. i haven't heard a lot of their discography myself.

 

[Carcassian]

Yes mate, I've heard streetcleaner.

 

[Discovery]

Then where do you get not enough guitars from? There's plenty of good stuff on that album in that department.

 

[CF87]

Not enough guitars.

I'm going to agree with carcassian.

Like Opeth. Right?

 

[SheisMySin]

Tried getting into them after hearing so many rave reviews, but just failed to see anything worthwhile for my taste.

You would like them though if a girl joined and started crooning!

 

[KMADD]

Heh i liked them. But i like bands like Bile, Ohgr and Frontline Assembly as well.
I thought Pure was a pretty brutal cd imho.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Streetcleaner owns your bones.

 

[Carcassian]

It doesn't own my bones. Overhyped, tedious shit i.m.o.

 

[CF87]

It's weird because some people find progressive music or bands that play well 'tedious' but in cases like this for me some simple repetitive lackluster bands can seem tedious or like they are ones trying to be artistic with capturing atmosphere or what, or move you in some way that is actually harder to get into. You you sit there thinking what is the band trying to do with the music.

 

[Carcassian]

I saw the urban decay atmos. Broadrick et. al. were going for, but I wasn't feeling it, cuz.

 

[Alex78]

unique band, no arguing there.
I have all their CDs, my favourites are Pure, Streetcleaner and Hymns. pretty heavy stuff. but I can understand those who don't like them, the music is very repetitive.

Tarja from Nightwish could sing with a band of jackhammers, chainsaws, and chihuaha dogs barking and make the music sound amazing to me.

ive not heard the first ep but thats probably good too

Jesu > Godflesh

Though Streetcleaner does still rule.
