Godspeed You! Black Emperor - G_d's Pee at State's End

LA is rioting, fascism is rising and the genocide is continuing. Time for Godspeed You! Black Emperor to have a spin.
 
The last God Speed album I owned was their 2000 release and I hadn't listened to a lot of post rock since then. But covid happened and it was a weird time. This album got me through weird post covid / still covid world. I'd listen to it on headphones at work, commuting, and when I was reading. I read a lot of books at that time! I find this album's build up washes over me. It's like a cleanse. 

But this is not an album that benefits from vinyl and loses the momentum. This pressing is a pain in the arse spread across 2 LPs - one 12" & a 10". Of course, an anarchist group are not going to press a conventional LP. Whilst I appreciate the concept and each side being its own moment, I ought to have just bought the cd to be honest.
