5.0 out of 5 stars Essential GSYBE - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada. 6 Nov 2002
By Mr. Edward J. Forsyth
Format:Audio CD
This is a record which fair smacks of GSYBE, and is one of their finest arrangements to date. If you want an introduction to them, or want more having heard "Lift Yr Skinny Fists...&c" then you would be well advised to invest in this fabulous EP. Classic GSYBE from start to finish, and with a superb soapbox monologue bizarrely accredited to Blaise Bayley Finnegan the 3rd, one time stand-in lead singer for Iron Maiden unless I'm mistaken.

The music builds from the humblest of droning bass beginnings. A rumble like a generator room, from which emerges the occasional splutterings of strings and guitars. GSYBE build from a seemingly unworkable start to an incredibly complex and wonderfully timed procession of drums and orchestral delights, more and more sounds piling onto the heap until you think your eardrums shall surely burst. The ever-melancholy guitars driving the whole on with an irrepressible force.

Massive and potent, sweeping, grand, unforgettable. This music evokes the strongest of emotions, and you need a damn good excuse not to go out and buy it right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning Ep! 16 July 2008
By David Sacco
Format:Audio CD
Ive never written a review about things ive bought, but i had to for this Ep.
If you like this genre of music, then all i can really say is buy this. If you dont know much about them, then I cant describe the music to you, thats something you will have to experience yourself. But i can say this, the last part of the song "Moya" is simply stunning. One of the best CD's and definatly the best Ep ive ever bought (Thats why ive given this 5 stars). In my view, a must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is something completely new altogether 31 Oct 2002
By hakeem
Format:Audio CD
This is different to regular music. In the way that normally enjoyable music is enjoyable because has a nice tune or at the most is a happy song or a sad song. this is a record that climax's to the point that no other music i have ever heard does where emotions are running through your whole body. and when it reaches this amazing peak of it's crescendo everything feels complete. it sounds angry and crying and desperate and beautiful. indescribable. everyone needs this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but 'Blaise Bailey' is a fake.
Godspeed are, in every way, breathtaking. these two tracks (together just short of half an hour) are, musically, two of the bands' best pieces of work. Read more
