4.0 out of 5 stars before they found their forte, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Nothingness (Audio CD)

On "nothingness," a re-release of their 1996 independent album, godhead welcomes the listener into its dark and melodically melancholy world. It is five years before Marilyn Manson, gifted as he is with his own material, let a little too much of his influence interfere with the almost incredible "2000 Years...," but only two years removed from the brilliant "Power Tool Stigmata," where you'll find the perfect mix of attitude and atmosphere. "nothingness" falls somewhere in between those two recordings. godhead's musical purity is evident and appreciated, highlighted by tracks such as the opener, "Letting Go," "Knowledge Kills," and "Take the Hate." It's the instrumental fillers, so brilliantly inserted into "PTS" which gradually drag this down by the end, as they are present nearly every other track. That's not say this should be avoided by any means! Far from it, but grab "Power Tool Stigmata" first, then maybe pick up the poppier "2000 Years..." before settling on "nothingness." Let's hope the boys re-release their self-titled debut too sometime soon! (Incidentally, if anyone has a copy of that, PLEASE email me!!! - ...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 25, 2002

This review is from: Nothingness (Audio CD)

A great debut album from a great band. With the exception of the short instrumental songs, Nothingness sounds less gothic than their later albums and more like the popular alternative music you hear on the radio today, but they still contain the dreamlike melodies that Godhead excells at. If you liked 2000 Years and Power Tool Stigmata and do not have this album, you are missing out on some of Godhead's best work.

3.0 out of 5 stars definately EARLY Godhead, August 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nothingness (Audio CD)

I absolutely love Human Error, so I thought I'd pick up their first. Now there is still some of that awesome Godhead sound on this cd, but it just falls short somehow and doesn't sound as interesting. It's a strictly average cd worth an occasional listen, but lacks the polish of Human Error, a cd which forces me to listen to it again and again.
