YMMV / Godflesh

Go To

  • Epic Riff: Too many times to count.
  • Fan Nickname: Justin Broadrick is frequently referred to as "JK Flesh."
  • First Installment Wins: Streetcleaner still gets praise for its eerie, slow, and enormously heavy sound, more so than all of Godflesh's subsequent albums.
  • Nightmare Fuel: A lot of their work can fall into this trope. Do not listen to Streetcleaner alone in a dim room.
  • Signature Song: "Like Rats" from Streetcleaner
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Slavestate, with its heavy electronic influences, and Us and Them, which featured a Lighter and Softer, Hip-Hop-influenced sound, caused this reaction for many fans.
  • Win Back the Crowd: After dabbling with Traditional Heavy Metal, Hip-Hop, and Hard Rock along with their following breakup, Godflesh reformed and in 2014 the band released A World Lit Only By Fire, which was seen as a return to form for the band and was praised by fans and critics alike. 2017's Post Self also saw strong reception.
