Its a good time to be a Godhead fan. The band has been consistently making quality releases ever since they broke the manson-esque mold they were branded with when they did 2000 Years Of Human Error. As much as 2000 was a great record (which in fact is one of the best), I feel that Godhead truly came into their own when they released Evolver. With Evolver, they refined their sound and became what they are today: A hard rock band. No longer industrial (Nothingness, Powertool Stigmata), the band band traded a polished effects driven approach for catchy riffs, dark melodies, and and overall straight-forward style. The results is seen in Evolver and The Shadow Line, two of the 21st centuries finest dark rock albums.

The band continues this approach with At The Edge of the World, but bring back some synths along for the ride. Songs like Stay Back, Closing The Door, and Origin Of Suffering are great with Jason Miller's melodic croon vocals and dark synth lines buried in the rhythm section. Just like on previous albums, At The Edge of the World is a very bleak, depressing album. But hey, that's their style. Let's just say that moody albums make for some great melodies. Just Take Anything, Soldier Song, and The Puppet are great tracks too. Its hard to go into detail because this album was really made for the fans. If you like the direction Godhead took since Evolver then you will like this album as it is very modern, but with that dark (there's that word again!) Godhead edge. Also, for the industrial fans there are several remixes at the end of the album. The best one is for Stay Back, which is almost completely electronic. It sounds really cool. My only complaint is the drumming. Their new drummer Ty's drumming is kind of weak compared to James O'Connors. If you have heard Shadow Line you will know what I mean. James' drumming was just so much harder and loud, it really made the album. On At The Edge of the World the drumming just sounds kind of weak in comparision. Its not a huge complaint though and I'm probably being biased. The artwork for this record is great, it has a very sci-fi oriental theme with some great cgi/photohop work. Anyway, I definitely recommend this album to long-time Godhead fans because it is the album you have been waiting for. Also, to new fans who like modern (or old school) rock and industrial, you owe it to yourself to check this album out. Also get their acoustic EP that came out earlier this year. It will give you a good idea just how gifted these musician's are.

Great release

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album, October 9, 2008

I'm not good at writing reviews but suffice it to say that this album is a wonderful new creation from the "Princes of Music." I can't even name their genre since they tend to be experimental and not-radio friendly. They are one of my "MySpace" friends and once I heard that they were going to release an album, I didn't wait a single minute to purchase it.

I met Jason Miller (frontman) at couple of his shows and I found him to be a wonderful gentleman, a real genuine soul. Not only does he have a powerful, passionate voice but he also has such an enlightened yet humble way about him, I can't explain. He always took time to talk to me and take pics. I even met his mom once (she introduced us at a Florida show.) I would have loved to have him as a friend. Alas, I am one of the earthly mortals and he's a rock star. For these reasons you may call me biased but I truly am not. I recommend this one and every single of their albums. I personally think they sound even better live, so if you can catch a show of them, don't miss it. And while you're at it, check out their Unplugged album. I cannot possible get through a day without listening to it once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another kick a$$ album from gODHEAD, October 23, 2008

What can I say, one of the most under-rated bands that you have never heard of. This is their fourth album that just rocks. You will like it from beginning to end. 12 great new tracks, 5 remixes and an "electric toothbrush" intro.

As I said, this is a great band that no one know about. Plus, they are awesome live, too!!
