Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 4/5
NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024, 28,340 DEAD marks the eighth album in the discography of the elusive Canadian post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Over the last 26 years the group has cultivated a mystique only reserved for select bands who refuse to engage with the music industry's media circus, rarely giving interviews and being openly hostile to large record labels. Their work has often been explicitly political, with the sleeve of their 2002 album Yanqui U.X.O.
Opinion: Fairly Good
Godspeed You! Black Emperor's No Title as of 13 February 2024: 28,340 Dead, the title of which refers to the official Palestinian death toll in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, aims to be tumultuous music for our tumultuous times. Like 2002's Yanqui U.X.O., whose back cover infamously linked several major record labels to the U.S. military industrial complex, the band's eighth studio album offers up more intense, chaotic, and expansive instrumental rock that feels like it could soundtrack the end of the world.
