„Treba sňať klobúk pred Godspeed You! Black Emperor - za ich odvahu pracovať s veľkosťou, či už sa to týka zvuku, emócií alebo námetov. Ak hudba GY!BE niekedy strháva hrádze a prináša záplavu veľkoleposti, je to len preto, že táto hudba zdôrazňuje vnútorný zápas v každom členovi kapely: optimizmus vôle verzus pesimizmus intelektu.“ (Simon Reynolds v magazíne Artbyte)

Impozantný epos „Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven“ vyšiel začiatkom nového milénia. Je to určite ich najprepracovanejšia a najambicióznejšia nahrávka. Melódie, ktoré neúprosne ženú piesne až k vrcholu, vyjadrujú zúfalstvo, zmätok, nespravodlivosť, ale aj chvíľkový, prchavý stav spásy a slobody. GY!BE pokračujú v maľovaní na neskutočne veľké plátna s ohromujúcou paletou zvukov, ktorá destiluje cez sónické filtre orchestrálno-rockovú inštrumentáciu: drásavé gitary, kvíliace sláky, pulzujúce basy, výbušné bicie plus zvonkohra, lesné rohy, predtočené pásky a terénne nahrávky. Ak album „Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven“ dokáže vytvoriť katarziu sám pre seba a dýchať takým stupňom života, aký bol doň vložený pri jeho nahrávaní, potom je v silách GY!BE zrútiť hocijaký dom. Alebo aj pohnúť horou...

Sloboda sa dá dosiahnuť, prostredníctvom tohto albumu určite!

P.S. GY!BE vydali v roku 2002 ešte album „Yanqui U.X.O.“ na labeli Constellation a potom sa uložili k dočasnému spánku. Členovia kapely sú však aktívni v iných projektoch: A Silver Mt. Zion, 1-Speed Bike, Hrsta, Molasses...

Chart #3
...prepared in innocence to meet our king of glory
and so we have this
you have it in your secret windows
and you're understanding to understand it and to bring it forth
it takes minute detail
it takes a holy life
it takes emotions
it takes dedication
it takes dedication
it takes a death
and only god can allow it
and you couldn't do it if you're not the seed of god
and so the path through the great corridors
these are corridors unto his perfection
that is which the prophet and the oarman summoned has penetrated
that through this great sea of blackness
that i penetrated through these corridors
and i went through that last segment
where i went through these dark serpentines
i passed through that corridor
where they sat
where they are
and when you penetrate to the most high god
you will believe you are mad
you will believe you've gone insane
but i tell you if you follow the secret window
and you die to the ego nature
you will penetrate this darkness
oh yes there's many a man or woman
that's been put in the insane asylum
when this has happened to them
and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane
but they saw something that's real
and they see it when they're on drugs
the only thing is they see it
not through the light of god, and the way i show you
i show you to see it through the light of god
and the understanding of god
because when you see the face of god you will die
and there will be nothing left of you
except the god-man, the god-woman
the heavenly man, the heavenly woman
the heavenly child
there will be terror under this day of night
there will be a song of jubilee waiting for your king
there will be nothing you will be looking for in this world
except for your god
this is all a dream
a dream in death

and so i went through that window
and the tower of hell and the great serpentines of the highest order
and i went through that when i showed you chart #3
the question is asked and learned and someone who....
