Skullflower? Dude, yes. And the last two Sunroof! records. Matthew Bower is a fucking genius.
Also, I think that the tone of the Jesu record is good, for what it is. It's going for a specific sound, and I think that it does a good job.
But I would have to agree that Skullflower is absolutely fucking radical. I love the blatant psych influence.

Check my AMG reviews dood. As they say. (I do agree that the large part of the appeal of Jesu is not that they're heavy shoegaze but Godflesh refined/redefined -- the lyrical refocus is key too.)

As Col. Poo points out, other people are often wrong about Bedhead.

those 2 last tracks from the japanese release has turned into an EP. "sun down/sun rise". and it's good, more ambient like.
― Zeno, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
It was always going to be a 12" ep. But there was delays and it surfaced on the japanese 2cd 1st.
There's also a couple of ep's later this year to come. A split with Eluvium I think on Hydrahead/TRL.

conqueror i really do dig. but lately s/t has been revealing itself to me in awesome new ways. some great moody stuff there
― Charlie Howard, Monday, 19 May 2008 17:20 (fifteen years ago) link
S/T is definitely the best.
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 19 May 2008 17:31 (fifteen years ago) link
they are all good! a track off of "silver" came up on shuffle the other day and blew my mind.
― cutty, Monday, 19 May 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link
They are all good... For me, "all" means s/t, Silver, Conqueror, and Lifeline.
Anyone care to comment on the rarities comp. or any of the weirder releases? Wish I could find that stuff...
