I can't quite put my finger on it—back in the day, I was big into industrial, so Godflesh was always part of the rotation—but it’s been at least a decade since I really sat down with them. Still, looking back, I think it was a solid album.
I used to spin "Pure" too, but honestly, it felt way too suicidal for me at the time.
I was just too young and way too healthy to wrap my head around it.
That said, I actually ended up preferring "Pure" over "Streetcleaner."
My buddy Swedish moved on from his teenage death metal phase right after listening to "Pure," so Godflesh eventually dropped out of my collection entirely.
It's a shame. Nowadays, "Pure" is either out of print or getting impossible to find, and here I am finally giving Godflesh the respect they deserve. Groff would probably spit on me if he knew. My bad.
