Jesu

[J.]

This is A LOT more industrial ambient/drone type of music than I was expecting. This is really nothing like Isis, Neurosis, and Pelican. Fans of those drone doom bands would love this. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not what I was expecting. In fact, I think it's pretty nifty.

 

[Sadguru]

I think Jesu is Godly
And yes, nothing like Neurosis, ISIS and such...

 

[J.]

This actually reminds me of Godflesh's "Selfless" album, which I hated. Jesu is much better than that album.

I actually thought Jesu would be like that godly Pelican remix that JK Broadrick did on the latest EP. I was wrong.

 

[J.]

yeah, not a bad desciption.

"Sun Day" from Jesu is a beautiful, bleak journey. I dig that one.

Somehow I need to get my hands on Heartache, for a decent price.

"Sun Day" = song of the year thus far. Bye-bye Nokturnal Mortum

Song of the year for me too.

AWESOME! Every review I read doesn't even mention that song. I love it! So damn bleak and lost sounding, yet with an "everything will be OK" feel to it. Meh, that's my sappy interpretation. Anyway, it just kicks me in the balls every time.

I get the exact same feeling. It puts me in vast comtemplative mood where everything dissolves into compassion and serenity. I know it sounds corny but, but those are to most appropriate words I can think of. And yes, It also surprises me that almost every reviews doesn't even mention the song.

The S/t is such an amazing album , i love it

 

[Sadguru]

Unfortunately, I think some songs are quite mediocre like "Man Women" and "Guardian Angel"

 

[Vilden]

The s/t while good is nothing exceptional imo, Heart Ache on the other hand is REALLY good.

 

[J.]

I need to get Heartache somehow. The s/t is not a masterpiece by any means, and yeah, there are some duds. But "Sun Day" and a few others make it worth the purchase.

Agreed.

Jesu = album of the year

I cannot stop listening to this band. These two releases are so far beyond anything Godflesh ever created.

The title track from Heartache is a bonafide classic track.

I'd be really surprised if most RCers did not find something to like in this band..

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I liked that radio mp3 of theirs that somebody posted. I should go listen to that again.

 

[J.]

THe two tracks on Heartache (clocking in at 40 minutes) are truly heartfelt pieces. Very haunting, and on occasion, punishing.

 

[E-bortion]

There's nothing to really add here other than the fact that I too fucking love Jesu.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

That EP is awesome. I still have to get the s/t. Fuck.

YOU DONT HAVE THE ST? wtf is wrong with you?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

HEY I SAID "FUCK." ALRIGHT!!!!?
