The Canadian nontet's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is a massive, achingly beautiful work, alternately elegiac and ferocious.
Lift Your Skinny Fists is one of the most special albums I've ever had the opportunity to experience. Every listen is just like a long journey and it's not a common one. This is the kind of journey that changes your life forever. I'd love to describe my relationship with this record but, honestly, it is way too complex, I feel a weird metaphysical and transcendental connection. All those textures, all those sounds.. Everything is just pure perfection and harmonic. It's conscious, sensible, ... read more
Godspeed You! Black Emperor is the kind of band that marks your life forever. I'm really excited to say that I'm going to be seeing these guys live in November! I'm sure that concert is going to be magical and absolutely unforgettable. You wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to convince my mother to let me go hahaha IT'S GONNA BE SOOO REWARDING!

I was in a car in the backseat heading back home. There were some beautiful clouds in the air. I put on the song storm from this record for the second time ever.
As the song progressed, the sky went darker. What was really cool, was that when the song started going "wierd" and non major, I noticed a blanket of dark clouds in the air.
Anyways, was just a really cool coincedence.
