Man, I wish I could hear Static and Sleep for the first time again. I remember first hearing Sleep and sobbing my eyes out by the end. The older gentleman talking about better times, sad that time has gone by without him, and the music gives me that exact same feeling. I'm glad you liked the album! If you love drones, you'll love their later work, especially Asunder. Although if you do decide to hear more you may want to go chronologically.
I used to work overnights at Target back when this came out. One night I put it on a boombox and played it while I worked and the faces and dirty looks I got from the old ladies working there will be burned in my memory forever.
This album always sounds like hope in the face of all the horrors that the world throws at us. There are moments of intense bleakness and terror but the hope and beauty always resurfaces or that feeling that we can storm the barricades. I saw them play most of this album live in London just after it came out in 2000 and it's still one of the most incredible gigs I've ever been to, just beautiful, intense, emotional, unrelenting. Astonishing stuff.
The ending of Like Antennas To Heaven makes me sob every time. The feeling I get is the bittersweet part of life, having to say goodbye to a loved one as they pass away. It’s gut wrenchingly sad, but also comforting, like they are being absorbed by the pure light of heaven. This album is one of the greatest of all time.
@@lpxlLift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is Hope. Like Antennas To Heaven... and its ending is all about Lifting Your Fists to a Heaven full of Hope.
Really glad you liked LYSFLATH! Their debut F#A# infinty is similar in many ways, but it is much darker and feels much more hopeless. Since you liked this album, I think you’ll like that one too
5:30 "If you jump scare me..." lol I'm tempted to fast forward to the final track to see if he gets got. Also funny coincidence I just looked and the sudden explosion in Antenna's to Heaven happens at like the exact same time stamp. So awesome to see younger folks discovering this music. It was honestly a joy to watch, kinda got to relive the first time I heard this album 15 years ago.
I’ve seen them live. Overwhelming experience. Dense monolith of sonic proportion. Same sort of sensation when I saw Swans. If you ever see any of them protect your ears. Both shows were an experience of a lifetime.
a bit controversial but my fave album from them is "Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!". the tapes in the songs are actual recorded things. that's why it feels so real. on Allelujah they recorded actual riot in Montreal we all took part of. and the album kinda is an echo of all this. so yeah i'd recommend you that.
I love this album it stresses the limits of what music is capable of it has such immense story telling and imagery without any lyrics everyone who’s listened comes away with a different take away, it has so much to say about life, death, and the human consciousness that it literally can’t be put into words
Live near Montreal and had the pleasure of meeting the guys from Godspeed a few years ago at a show and you can definitely tell just how creative and intelligent they all are. Really cool group and I wish I could've picked their brains a bit Also seeing them live is a must. They still tour and its an experience. They mix old and new songs and do completely new renditions of songs regularly. Its not like seeing any other band. They dont just play the hits, even as a 10+ year fan every time ive seen them they've played something I've never heard before.
Bro, you're walking a similar musical path I've been on, so it has been really great seeing your reactions to albums I hold close to my heart while also introducing me to great music. I would like to recommend the self titled album Circulatory System by a group that sprung from the same fertile soil as Neutral Milk Hotel. It's been one of the most rewarding albums for me, but it was also one of the most challenging. Keep it up, you're awesome!
I agree with the person who suggested F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed. Also might give Explosions In The Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place a listen. This Will Destroy You - S/T Mono - One Step More and You Die Mutemath - Self Titled or Odd Soul or Vitals
Really glad you connected with this! I’m gonna try reccomending something you probably won’t have heard of before and it’s called ‘the ascension’ by Glenn branca. It’s only on RUclips and has the similar sound of infinity and beauty that skinny fists has, but achieves it through dissonance and noise instead of building from calm to chaos. If you’re in the mood for something a little more abrasive while still easily listenable, I seriously cannot recommend it enough. Love the content btw :)
seen a ton of bands live and gy!be shows were unique in their ability to completely take the crowd off the planet, give you a tour of the universe and bring you gently back down… never seen so many people totally focused on the music, also fun to see so many people enjoying psychedelics ;¬)
Glad you liked the album, if you want any more Godspeed I actually recommend their EP “slow riot to new zero kanada” is a little under 30 min long and the peaks are just as good as skinny fists’
The track Sleep from this album, always leaves me a sobbing mess. It's just something related to how the guitar just sounds like it's a pained wailing burst of emotion, screaming throughout the middle of the song. The effect gained from that guitar screaming, is done by the guitarist rubbing a screwdriver against the strings of the guitar like a slide.
If you wouldn't mind doing a non-english album (Japanese), I'd like to recommend A Towel Blanket is Peaceful by Kaneko Ayano. It's really sweet and relatively hard hitting
im not gonna lie, when going into this album, i thought i was gonna absolutely hate it, hell i started listening to it to make fun of it, but as soon as i started to listen, i ADORED it, gy!be has became one of my favorite bands, and this albums has became my 4th favorite album ever
Exuma, The Obeah Man might be one worth your time. It's a campy, psychedelic, Bahamian folklore, rock album from 1970. The album actually inspired Jordan Peele's NOPE as it's about a deity coming to Earth and teaching a family to find peace within their community. It's super different from this, but really similar in the sense that it'll take you on a hell of a journey.
Not related to this band but probably my favorite band of all time, maybe check out Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age at some point? It’s a thematic record with some super heavy and amazing-sounding guitar tones, super highly recommend (would make for a fun reaction vid as well!)
Great album and reaction! Have some recommendations for you if you feel like it: Steely Dan - Aja Supertramp - Crime of the Century Genesis - Trick of the Tail
If you want to hear something very different than you ever heard, try "Venetian Snares - Rossz csillag alatt szulettet". Try to have a open mind and a angry soul. Hope your channel keeps growing
3:42 The average Godspeed You! Black Emperor listening experience
most average, appropriate, regular, ordinary reaction when listening to gybe
This is such an event of an album. Really progressive musically too.
Tbks is su ch a brina chall monement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
prog rock and post rock are like 2 sides of the same coin

i love that the time of this video is the same length as "sleep". wondering if that was intentional

Crazy sh!t goes down in Canada when it gets cold
This was my first vinyl, it is genuently a timeless piece that will live forever

Idk what it is but I feel like you like F#A# infinity 😂 nice pfp
When The String Loop Manufactured During Downpour hits 😶
The ending of the last song is just pure catharsis. It is like seeing god and it starts talking to you
“Because when you see the face of God, you will die
And there will be nothing left of you
Except the God-man, the God-woman”

Storm and Sleep are two of the few songs that make me cry
Same ✊

Have fun trying to sleep to "Like Antennas to Heaven" with that goddamn jumpscare of beautiful noise

don't know why you're surprised dude. you've got fans. i watch almost every new video
you've got a chill energy i fw heavy + you're not smug or arrogant like some people who do videos on this kind of music
Thanks bro !!
Yesssss! Never thought you’d listen to this. I hope you listen to their whole discography.

Thank you!
this is the only album Ive ever thought was 10/10 on first listen. it’s still one of my favorites of all time to this day
Omg omg i love this album so fucking much. Great reaction! This really does feel like a supernova tbh
This is one of the best albums to walk around a art museum listening to or to take a hike to
I agree with the person who suggested F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed.
Also might give Explosions In The Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place a listen.
This Will Destroy You - S/T
Mono - One Step More and You Die
Mutemath - Self Titled or Odd Soul or Vitals
the screaming on sleep is a screwdriver rubbing on a guitar
This kids learning and growing and doing new things and I'm here for it...

Love the content btw :)
I saw them play Storm live and I, for a fact, shit myself
I cry inside too whenever I hear storm or sleep. Love this!

Love this channel and how open minded you are
ah yes, my favorite album. glad i found your channel btw, kinda reminds me of early bradtasteinmusic. you're doing good work, keep it up
Thank You!
Got to go one of their concerts and it sounds equally as good in person, it was one of the best experiences of my life.
I just realized this reaction is just as long as Sleep
i think that this is really one of the greatest album. One time I got stoned and this changed my life.
Oh boy here we go
Glad you liked the album, if you want any more Godspeed I actually recommend their EP “slow riot to new zero kanada” is a little under 30 min long and the peaks are just as good as skinny fists’
Probably my favourite album of all time! Sleep might be my favourite pice of music ever written
Everyone has had that "That scared the shit out of me!" moment when listening to the album's final track.
"I gotta go to Coney Island" lol
World Police and Friendly Fire (the most intense section of Static) also has me looking like I’m receiving the best head of my life
16:38 favorite part of the whole album
I would definitely recommend Pink Floyd’s Wish you were here if you haven’t already heard it. My third favourite album behind TPAB and this
Bro said "I need to go to coney island" 😂
LONG SEASON by Fishmans. Similar vibe, but more psychadelic and Japanese
Yess! It gave me the same feeling Sleep did! Absolutely fantastic 🙌
When I'll be dying - just last few minutes before I die I want to listen first 6 minutes of Storm
All time favorite record for sure.

Fever Ray's debut album please!! Your Björk fans will love it
6:14 holy shit rewatching this i just got what you did there LMAO
Well now you gotta elaborate
@@FOR_DA_W1Nters look up "the science show piano"
lets fucking go
Lookin forward to this one. For season 2 you gotta do Foals:Antidotes.
You should see them live
Godspeed is all instrumental music.
Please react to A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. It’s considered as one of the best jazz albums of all time
this is a BIG moment !!
I’ll throw another post-rock classic your way, “Hex” by Bark Psychosis
The Seer by Swans, one of the scariest things I’ve ever heard!
Maybe try Mogwai - Young Team
bro is listening to peak
im not gonna lie, when going into this album, i thought i was gonna absolutely hate it, hell i started listening to it to make fun of it, but as soon as i started to listen, i ADORED it, gy!be has became one of my favorite bands, and this albums has became my 4th favorite album ever

has anyone told you that you look like Tim Buckley?
Do yanqui uxo
Great album and reaction!
Have some recommendations for you if you feel like it:
Steely Dan - Aja
Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Genesis - Trick of the Tail
I second Aja
Can you please listen to Type O Negative - October Rust ???
If you want to hear something very different than you ever heard, try "Venetian Snares - Rossz csillag alatt szulettet". Try to have a open mind and a angry soul. Hope your channel keeps growing
Ebony Road
F#a#infinity is my favorite album of theirs. It has a bit more variety, and much more gloom.
Lo estoy escuchando con un LSD
dog, you cant just take a slow burn song and snip it

I would recommend listening to my personal favourite Godspeed album F# A# Infinity
A couple of recommendations:
A Stable Reference by Labradford
One Step More And You Die by Mono
