William Leonard Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Since their new album is being released today, I figured this would be a good time to make a thread for my favourite band. Discuss the quasi-anarchist post-rock ensemble from Mile End, Montreal. What are your favourite albums/songs? How has listening to this band affected you? Stuff like that. Me, I bought Lift Your Skinny Fists on vinyl yesterday. It's awesome. (The record store I perused also had a copy of Allelujah!, but my mum said I could only get one or the other. ;n;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohad Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Haven't listened to any of their albums yet, but I want to. Should I start with Lift Your Skinny Fists or F♯ A♯ ∞? I heard both are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elastic Dawg Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Incredible band. Lift Yr Skinny Fists is some of the most intense music i've heard. I really like "The Dead Flag Blues", too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Leonard Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Haven't listened to any of their albums yet, but I want to.Should I start with Lift Your Skinny Fists or F♯ A♯ ∞? I heard both are greatLift Your Skinny Fists is widely regarded as their best album, but F♯ A♯ ∞ is, to me, the album that best defines GY!BE and their apocalyptic themes (and it's extremely good too). I recommend starting with the latter, as I did, then moving on to Lift Your Skinny Fists.Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada is also a good choice if you want a more condensed sample of the sort of stuff they do.

Ohad Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Oh yeah I forgot I listened to F♯ A♯ ∞ a couple days ago, and I really liked it. It was different than I thought it'll be for sure, The train recording took me by surprise. It was cool tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweat Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I got to listening to Lift Yr. Skinny Fists a couple weeks ago, and it's just an amazing album. I haven't listened to F#A# yet, but I'm definitely planning to when I have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
