Free Music Notes for Conqueror
Free Music Review: this cd found it's way to the "used" bin VERY quickly...
Hit: 1 Stars
Some people call it "shoegazing," "melancholy," "crushingly beautiful." riiight.
I think a more suitable description is "lo-fi, echo-laden, downtuned emo crap."
-Justin, you can't sing no matter how much echo you add to your voice and you can downtune your guitar all you want to sound "heavy," and try and hide from the fact that you've gone from an industrial/metal icon to a poppy emo crap saleman.
Conqueror Poster
Japanese pressing of Jesu's 2007 album, 'Conqueror'. Includes two Japan only bonus tracks, 'Sundown' and 'Sunrise'. Comes packaged in a digipak. Dynamare.Jesu returns with nearly an hour of weighty, otherworldly heaviness that defies the default designation of metal. The opening titular cut has as much in common with early Pink Floyd as it does with band member Justin Broadrick's other outfits, Napalm Death and Godflesh. That said, there's plenty here to enrage the savage beast, such as the dark and detuned opening of "Old Year," the icy epic "Mother Earth" and the recording's centerpiece, the restless and imaginative 10-minute Flaming Lips-esque "Weightless and Horizontal," which displays the band's debt to space rock without apology and without any sacrifice of aforementioned heaviness. As good as Conqueror is, it's hardly the band's masterpiece. The work laid here suggests that Jesu has much more exploring and refining to do but this recording is as good a place as any for listeners to begin anticipating the moment when this outfit climbs up from the underground to reap the rich rewards it so clearly deserves. A fantastic and darkly inspiring work.--Jedd Beaudoin
