Favorite Godflesh song?[views:8963][posts:40]___________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 12:33pm - bradmann ""] i'm very uninitiated in the ways of Godflesh (my first introduction to JK Broadrick was with Napalm Death and I now listen to a lot more Jesu) and i only have "hymns" and "slavestate" on cd with all the remixes and shit. as "slavestate" is kind of a throwaway i've been really digging "Regal" (if only for its place as the birthing of Jesu) and "White Flag". Fucking crushing shit. I realize this is Godflesh at the end of their career so I think need to hear more. I really need Streetcleaner don't I? |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 12:50pm - Yeti ""] oh man, you are speaking my language. i love Slavestate, i guess you have to be a diehard fan to get a lot of his stuff. and you definitely need Streetcleaner. these are my favorite songs in no particular order: Head Dirt Christbait Rising Ice Nerveshatter Merciless White Flag Regal Vampires Love is A Dog From Hell I Wasn't Born to Follow Monotremata Sterile Prophet Angel Domain Messiah Body Dome Light Black Boned Angel Anthem Bittersweet Whose Truth is Your Truth Avalanche Master Song Wound Might Trust Krusher Frail |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 12:51pm - Yeti ""] my two personal favorite albums are Streetcleaner and Songs of Love and Hate, but i really can't exclude every other album. i have yet to hear a song i don't like, or even kind of don't like. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 12:57pm - Yeti ""] i can't believe i forgot Slateman in that list. that song is incredible. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 12:59pm - Yeti ""] and Meltdown and Someone Somewhere Scorned. oh hell, i can't make a list, i can't get enough of every single song. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 1:04pm - Yeti ""] last weekend i ate some fungus and listened to Streetcleaner, when it got to Locust Furnace i felt like i was being beaten upside the head over and over and over when he was screaming "FURNACE! FURNACE! FURNACE!". i was handed a tape of that album when i was 16, and here it is almost 11 years later and i've never heard that album like that before. the thing with Godflesh is you probably won't really like it at first, you'll think its ok, but it will stick in your head and grow like a tumor. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 1:15pm - C.DEAD ""] "Hymns" is their weakest effort. IF you like that, then every other album should leave you shitting bricks. A favorite Godflesh song is so hard to pinpoint, but here some all time faves of mine: Cold World Dead Head Mighty Trust Crusher Body Dome Light Veins Predominance Frail Black Boned Angel The Internal Every song is pretty genius. You really can't go wrong with any release. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 1:19pm - Yeti ""] in terms of the other material, yes Hymns is the weakest, but i can't exactly call it weak, it is incredible in its own right. i was listening to it the other day, and some of my favorite tunes are on it. but yes C.Dead is correct, you will most certainly shit bricks. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 2:18pm - C.DEAD ""] When I say weak, it just means weak in terms of their previous ouptut. The album is very uninspired and is the only album they ever did where I honestly didn't like a few a songs on it, opposed to me liking every single song on every single album before it. Though, it does have 3 very good songs on it and one of those is a hidden track. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 3:17pm - Yeti ""] fair enough. it was the precursor for Jesu, especially the hidden track. and Jesu. the song Anthem is fucking incredible. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 3:34pm - C.DEAD ""] "the song Anthem is fucking incredible" Yes, incredible song. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 5:28pm - dunwichnli ""] Not necessarily my favorite, but lately I've really been into Life is Easy. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 7:45pm - watchmaker666nli ""] Yes you need Streetcleaner! Like Rats is a masterpiece |

| ___________________________________________ [Jan 26,2008 2:56am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i like the songsabout teh drugs...oh wait that is all of them. |

| _______________________________ [Feb 15,2008 12:49pm - Yeti ""] i finally got the Cold World EP yesterday, i am going to have to add Cold World to my list of songs. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 15,2008 1:26pm - niflheim ""] Cold World is ok, the track Nihil is awesome. I believe it was on the Hideaway soundtrack. I think Godflesh performed it in the actual movie as well. Such a great band. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 15,2008 1:28pm - Yeti ""] yeah they perform the song in its entirety in Hideaway. |

| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2009 10:43am - Yeti ""] hahaha i started freaking out at Oasis when i heard Selfless. the same thing happened at Emperor in 07, they started playing Hymns and i was the only one going bonkers over it. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 10:45am - dreadkill ""] i went bonkers when frank zappa's "broken hearts are for assholes" started playing after motorhead's set at the palladium on the most recent US tour. everyone else just left the building except one dude who asked what the song was. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 10:56am - reimroc ""] zappa is god |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 30,2009 3:01pm - watchmaker666 ""] Street cleaner is essential not just as a godflesh record but as a metal record in general. Total must have |
| ______________________________ [Mar 30,2009 3:20pm - Yeti ""] Life is Easy has one of the best bass lines, on top of being one of the bleakest songs ever recorded. its way better than the Fall of Because version. |
