Where should I start if I'm looking to get into GYBE? Any songs I should listen to first? Recommended album order? Would they even be up my alley if I'm into bands like Modest Mouse and Radiohead?

>> No.41722264

Allelujah! Don't Bend; Ascend! is a pretty good album to start with. Skinny Fists can be a little overwhelming for someone who's not used to post rock. But yeah, this is coming from someone who started with Radiohead and MM like you.

>> No.41722573

Skinny Fists > F#A#Infinity -> Allelujah! -> Yanqui U.X.O.

>> No.41722628

my favorite godspeed tracks are Sleep and Mladic
so maybe try those out

Mladic is their best track imo. I'd go with that OP.

Even though this guy posted two of their best songs, don't do this. You need to listen to full albums at a time. The themes and emotions carried throughout the whole albums are one of the things that make GYBE so good

>> No.41722747

Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! Seems like a good place to start, had two monster tracks and then two droney ones to even things out.

Mladic is a complete beast and a good place to start if looking for a single song

f#a# probably not a good starter. It's their best, but probably their least accessible as well. This post is my opinion.

i'd say go in order.
F#A# is fairly accessible, and it's arguably their best.
i wouldn't suggest listening to single tracks, their albums fully connected experiences, you need the whole thing.

Well, I'm not really that big on "ambient" tracks, it sounded like background noise for some sort of film. Not really something I can jam to I suppose, which is what I thought they'd be, if that makes sense.
