Godflesh - Messiah (2000)^{Release ID: 251}

A very solid examply of mid-1990s Godflesh, "Messiah" is one of the band's safest releases in some time when you consider its sound comprises a nice mixture of all of the differing aspects that make up their back-catalog without really presenting anything terribly new. Some tracks are certainly stronger than others (with "Wilderness Of Mirrors" being a clear highlight for me with it's strong leanings towards the "Pure" album) but there are no real weak points. I really enjoyed stepping back in time to hear the sound I loved so much on the earlier Godflesh albums & feel that "Messiah" stands quite well on it's own merit. I would suggest it is essential listening for any fans of the band.
