Easily one of the most important records in the last two decades. Justin Broadrick, G.C. Green and machine helped to change the face of modern heavy music in so many ways. Streetcleaner, to cut right down to it, is a thoroughly crushing, punishing, unforgiving, and unrelenting album. Featuring Justin Broadrick-formerly of Napalm Death and now of the much loved JESU - on guitars and vocals, G.C. Green on Bass, as well as a drum machine, the duo assault the listener with a soul crushing performance. Easily one of the HEAVIEST records ever made. GC's bass and the machine lay down a solid groove while Justin's rhythm guitar acts to heighten the tension. with Justin focusing on playing the guitar more like a percussive instrument than it's traditional role. He even uses gold plated guitar picks to give his harmonic squeals even more of a cutting metallic bite. The lyrics themselves are every bit as oppressive, stark, and minimalist as the imagery and music. They are more like short poems emoted out over the music. You can feel his pain and scorn as he bellows out his words. A true journey into the darker sides of a man's soul. Bleak and yet so powerful. This album will sell extremely well. It has never been re-issued and has only the one pressing earache did many, many years ago. Considered a masterpiece by countless music fans, into a wide variety of musical genres. This will be in demand. |
