Godspeed You Black Emperor! Asunder Sweet & Other Distress

"Exchanging their volatile tendencies for restraint and focus, Godspeed You! Black Emperor have created another incredible work and one that finds them again evading the confines of formula..."
"It's sweeping, gorgeous stuff, like a film score for a half-remembered dream, or a static-filled radio transmission from the bottom of the ocean."
"Their vision remains a bleak one -- but it makes resistance sound holy, and love sound like a revolutionary act."
Paste (magazine) - "The pretty, melodic intro that rings in a Middle Eastern-style groove defines 'Peasantry,' where atmosphere and pure droning make up the second half of Side A."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[T]he album is Godspeed to its core, moving from thin drones to Wagnerian pomp and circumstance and back again over long, patient stretches."
