The pre-order link in that article wants $19 for the CD. It is to laugh. Guess I'll be going through Amazon for this one (or waiting till it shows up on Godflesh's own Bandcamp page).

Yeah I was surprised no Bandcamp link for it yet.

The new album is good, but uninvolving. Like, you could put it on in the background and do some work, but it doesn't have any songs as strong as the ones on Pure or Selfless or even Streetcleaner. That's been true for a while, though; the only song I remember from A World... is the one that sounds like Killing Joke.

huh i think this is a distinct improvement on the last one, which was def "good but uninvolving"

three years ago i called a world lit only by fire "good but involving" and now i'm fucking obsessed with it, go figure
it is a much more appropriate record for 2021 than 2014 tbf

imo it is the heaviest godflesh record, an achievement unto itself
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 22:16 (three years ago) link
weirdly enough it's probably the only godflesh record that sounds like streetcleaner, but i also find the execution very different, the drum machine's role more textural, the riffs more punishing and the guitar tone more suffocating, it's like a version of the streetcleaner sound with more sludge metal in it than swans

it also just sounds so evil, especially "carrion" and the last two tracks
the ending of "towers of emptiness" threatens really hard to turn into a s/t-era jesu track and it rules

this is not a complete ranking, just the records of his i've spent the most time with, also no idea how i'd fit god or techno animal in here

having a real renaissance of emotional connection with jesu's conqueror right now too, like a world lit only by fire it sounds fantastic in 2021, just for different reasons

why didn't anybody tell me Love and Hate in Dub is so fuckin delicious. I also like Songs of Love and Hate as well but Dub is just an improvement all over.
also apparently have never heard the s/t EP - rectifying now.
