Every song is amazing on this, but Sleep is the one track on here where every movement in it is equally amazing.

Monheim is great but it's also the most basic, predictable part here. Sleep would be a little boring if it were just that - the other parts place it in just the right context (and Broken Windows... is better)

My thoughts on this album before I could tolerate drone music: Wow this is really awesome post-rock

My thoughts on this album after I could tolerate drone music: Jesus handcrafted this for humanity and GY!BE forsaken their religious beliefs and obliged to perform it

Yes, that's why it's actually good. GY!BE can't into more complex music, they should have done basic but good stuff instead of muh spoken word muh drone muh 1000000 crescendos that suck most of the time (except in Monheim).

Mhmm but the Sleep outro, Storm intro and most of We Drift Like Worried Fire all take ideas as simple as Monheim and but use more complex (but not ~that much more complex) arrangements to great effect

Use more complex arragements to worse effect. Look, I'm a big fan of complexity and all of that, but if it isn't as good as something more simple (specially when it is still quite simple), what's the point?

Nu-uh, they use complex arrangements because the motifs are more interesting and lend themselves that way. If every Godspeed song was as simple as Monheim, they'd be a dull band

Arragements may be less simple but the structure most of the time is equally basic and uninteresting; and when they're not doing their crescendo number 1435, what do they do? They try something different, that isn't as good as crescendo number 16, or they just add spoken word about the power of God, some supermarket or some poetry bullshit. They're a mediocre band most of the time.
