I really did not expect to hear hip hop (??) influence in godflesh. I do not say that incorporating hip hop is essentially a bad thing but godflesh must be bludgeonny and abrasive not cool and fun. Moreover, clean vox are overused

Written by Paz on 15.10.2013 at 15:02 probably, but since I am a hip hop noob I could not recognize these influences on streetcleaner. I rechecked pure today and it also had some hip hop moments but still managed to have this antagonistic mechanical tone which IMO is missing on SoLaH. I think that hip hop influences were not as omnipresent on earlier godflesh as this one

Honestly, I thought this album was a banger. The groovy and oppressive industrial hip-hop influence adds so much flavor to Godflesh's formula. I can see myself blasting this album more regularly from now on.

To be honest, I've always considered Godflesh to be a poor man's Swans but bizarrely I like this one so perhaps it's those "hip-hop" drums you're all referring to.
