I realize I'm a little late on the scene.. Finally picked this up and listened to it for the first time the other day.
It's the best thing I've ever heard Godspeed do and the best thing I've heard all year. Pitchfork truly is a motherfucker - They've got a few prongs poking in the wrong place.

Be sure to get right up front. I saw them in Bradford earlier in the year, the venue was a theatre and they were totally awesome. They let the crowd get right up to the stage, no barriers, no security. I was literally within touching distance of Efrim (swiped his setlist!)
Some of them hang around and talk to you afterwards too :)

don't like uxo half as much as srfnzk, lvsfcath or f#a#oo.... that pitchfork review was in parts spot on i thought. Perhaps i can't get into it as easy cos it's quite a departure from the previous records... love the last two minutes of the last track though.

I think that's a continuation of their previous work - nothing new ; nothing bad. I just find a little boring the way they build their songs with the same architecture over and over - for me it's quite like straight ambiant music since I only pay attention to random bits of the songs.

yo danbrusca i saw godspeed at bradford too...cool venue, nice acoustics in ther3 and stuff. was brilliant when they played lysflath track 1 first, love that first 6/7 minutes. remembered them playing rocket falls there as well...fucking amazing the way that builds at first (may fave on yanqui).
theyre going to announce some european dates soonish i think..hope they come up north again in the uk. fingers x'd.
the shout of 'hotel california' before the encore didn't go down very well did it! that would have been the strangest thing to see though!

just wondering, how long do they usually play for, and do they use samples (like in bbf3)?
im seeing em in march, never seen em before, how big is the crowd usually? i hope theyres not a lot of smoke, cant stand all the smoke in these small venues.

yeah they used the vocal thing from bbf3 when they played bradford. i think they played chris morris' 'bushwhacked' speech ahem rearrangement at some gigs fairly recently. there were quite a number of people there. it wasn't sold out or anything though. cheers for the setlist dan. enjoy the show machine, i hope they play here nxt year.

yanqui is their most accomplished album to date imo. i met a guy who used to open for them, he said they gave the best shows he's seen.
anyone can point me out to some tour dates?

i truly love the new album.
'...antennas to heaven' is also just as excellent but yanqui is very different to anything they've ever done. some people complain how the structures are all the same but hey! - they are not! a lot of different moods and atmospheres, i love it.
i've also got some memories and images tied up with the record which makes it even more special to me.

i don't think they're the autographing type.. they're pretty anti-stardom (and definitely anti-materalism), but who knows?
