Good place to start with Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Love-is-god:
Hey guys, I've been expanding my musical library (with mucho help from this forum and the RL page) and was going to look into this band now, it sounds awesome.

Now, as I'm both to lazy to look it up and too suspicious of official website opinions to accept it anyway, I want to place my trust in QC's readers in finding out what a good album would be to start with here.  What's their absolute best, what is most representative of what this band *is*?

Let me know, I have the utmost faith in you.

Will:
I don't know if this is their "best" but it's what got me into Godspeed...check out "Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven," and especially the first track "Storm."  It's basically amazing.

Best listened to by candlelight when it's actualy storming out, too!

Love-is-god:
That's fine, an honest opinion from a forum goer was all I needed to go on.  Thank you kindly for taking the time to respond, I'll be checking it out as I speak, er, type.

mysteriousbriefcase:
i second 10110101010.  that's the first i heard of them and probably some of the best IMO.

KharBevNor:
Tbh, I don't think it really matters. It's not like any of their records is incredibly bad or really outstandingly good compared to the others. The first one I heard was Yanqui U.X.O., which I don't think would be anyone here's choice as a first time listen (I suspect opinion will be divided between 'Lift Yr Skinny Fists...' and 'F#A# Infinity') but still did fine to get me into them.
