This album should come off a lot more cringe than it actually does.

I find it interesting how Justin's other projects bleed over into the Godflesh discog, especially in the nineties.

lol fuck him he always be putting this record down



Justin is usually wrong when he gets critical of his own output - I imagine Us and Them in Dub will be in his eyes a way to fix aspects he didn't like about this... will be interesting to hear what he does with it



he's also fickle as hell

he can think whatever the fuck he wants of his work as long as he just keeps making more of it IMO

he ruined a perfectly good jesu album and I can't let it go!



I find it funny this whole Pale Sketcher business (though, admittedly, this newest release is old material that was set to come out years and years ago) - kind of another example of what we're talking about

from my hazy recollection of his words in interviews or whatever, Pale Sketcher was born as a project out of his feelings that he needed to keep certain aspects or musical styles (mainly electronic) out of jesu that had been bleeding into the project and he felt didn't belong (kind of similar to what seems to be his feelings about this record when it comes to Godflesh)

then when Never came out a few years ago, I believe his exact words were "Pale Sketcher is dead - long live jesu" (something like that) and you could certainly hear the sounds bleeding into that release and maybe a little on the full-length that followed it... seemed to indicate maybe his feelings had changed



lol but now we have new (old) Pale Sketcher material ^_^ (coincidentally, album is, like this album, littered with breaks (the similarities pretty much end there))

but yeah, again, will be interesting to see what the future holds for these projects... is Pale Sketcher actually dead and he's just dusting some stuff off from the archive to finally get out there, or did the man flip-flop again

still in uh... 'fundraising/pre-order' mode or whatever you call it, but they've hit the necessary limit, so looks like Earache will be putting this out on vinyl for the first time ever



interesting to note on the pre-order page, there appears to be 1xLP, 2xLP, and 3xLP versions available for order with no explanation... very curious what is going to be on LP #'s 2 and 3

Definitely in my top 3/4 Godflesh releases. Very satisfying album to relisten to. Currently going on a Godflesh discography relisten in reverse chronological order.

@Relinquished didn't even know there were two Godflesh's Bandcamp profiles, apparently the one with their back catalog is managed by Earache.

no desire, no air to breathe

no desire, no need to seethe

I'm justified - that's always been

need to justify just to survive
