Album Rating: 4.5

As a pre-reunion fan (just!) every time I listen to this I’m struck by how much GYBE ripped it off.

Album Rating: 3.5

Depends on which GYBE album we're talking about

Album Rating: 4.0

Agreed on GYBE adopting the formula, but also succesfully adding their signatures. However, Swans pushed it even further on their post-reunion trilogy.

Album Rating: 5.0

Godspeed and Swans have always felt neck-in-neck, you can extend that to No Title and now (probably) Birthing, they're pushing the limits of this sound to its absolute extreme.

There was no place like it in the whole world

Everyone knows that you are fucked up

And everyone knows that I am fucked up

But does everyone know that you are more fucked up than me?
