Advantages: they are very warm, never gets old, builds atmospheres

Disadvantages: they are from canada and if you live in california, its hard to get to their shows.

I bought "lift yr skinny..." from GYBE quite a while ago. I bought it because my friend had told me that I would like them. So I heard some MP3's and I liked what I heard. They at one time had I believe 18 members in their band. Which is amazing, and i guess makes them an orchestra. but they are no less. their music is very soft and quiet at some points in the album, and the music builds into a beautiful luminiferous cage of unwanted babies. they are absolutly wonderful.

there are a lot of bands that are compared to godspeed, like stars of the lid. they are nothing like godspeed. but that doesnt mean their good. but no one else can amount to godspeeds redwood forest hight like atmosphere that they create.

i enjoy listening to their music when i am in bed, or when i feel sad. their music has this kind of power of commonality that makes you feel welcomed in their blizzard of static inpowerment. i dont listen to a lot of dance music. but i know that godspeed isnt dance music. they are the music you'd listen to when you get home from a horrible night of dancing i guess. they are the ones that you can always fall back on. its happy music for sad people. and sad music for happy people. it depends on your mood but either way, you will be left somewhere other then where you were when you started. they are gods.
