It is a ██▓ ▓██ windfall for any fan of ambient pop, orchestral rock, ██▓ ▓██ space rock, or simply lush string arrangements who ██▓ ▓██ understands how powerful love, melancholy, and ██▓ ▓██ frustration can be. The main complaint voiced by ██▓ ▓██ critics of Godspeed's music is that their works just ██▓ ▓██ repeat the same pattern: start out sparse and slow, ██▓ ▓██ build-build-build, crescendo. While there are certainly ██▓ ▓██ crescendos, there is no such predictable pattern ██▓ ▓██ repeated among the works on Lift Your Skinny Fists Like ██▓ ▓██ Antennas to Heaven -- it's loaded with dynamics, ██▓ ▓██ unexpected sections, strong emotions and beauty. ██▓ ▓██ ██▓ ▓██ The album opener, "Storm," is a leap for GYBE! that, ██▓ ▓██ alone, makes this release worth getting. It's a ██▓ ▓██ rapturous work that rises with a potent melancholy, ██▓ ▓██ driven by heartrending emotions. "Storm" vents a ██▓ ▓██ powerful frustration (each listener can insert their ██▓ ▓██ own reasons why) with majestic screams of strings, ██▓ ▓██ guitars, and layers, resulting in a climactic and ██▓ ▓██ passionate soaring. It eventually winds down into an ██▓ ▓██ exhausted aftermath of piano, underlying drones, and ██▓ ▓██ frustrated rants. The second piece, "Static," is a ██▓ ▓██ wandering, isolationist piece of bleak expanses shaded ██▓ ▓██ with darker emotions, but the remaining two works raise ██▓ ▓██ the album back up to the impressive standard set by the ██▓ ▓██ opening cut, though with less furor and even more ██▓ ▓██ loveliness. "Sleep" opens with an elderly gentleman ██▓ ▓██ reminiscing about Coney Island, and his frank and ██▓ ▓██ amusing narration briefly recalls the recordings of ██▓ ▓██ David Greenberger and scenes from the documentary ██▓ ▓██ Vernon, FL. This narration is followed by a slow and ██▓ ▓██ melodic piece featuring a pseudo-theremin effect amidst ██▓ ▓██ all of the other instrumentation. "Antennas to Heaven" ██▓ ▓██ opens with someone playing acoustic guitar, singing ██▓ ▓██ "What'll We Do with the Baby-O," soon washed over with ██▓ ▓██ sound, which then gives way to a brief chorus of ██▓ ▓██ glockenspiels, and on. ██▓ ▓██ ██▓ ▓██ During most of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to ██▓ ▓██ Heaven, musical and emotional opposites alternate as ██▓ ▓██ regularly, and naturally, as breathing: delicate string ██▓ ▓██ work and rock-out guitar and drums, spoken word and ██▓ ▓██ walls of sound, gracious and possessed, tip-toes and ██▓ ▓██ cliff-diving, dark hallways and blinding sunshine. ██▓ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ If you like this release, BUY IT!
