Godspeed You! Black Emperor/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious/SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: They don't write lyrics, but their music just feels undeniably political.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: The opening of “Antennas to Heaven” (“Moya Sings Baby-O”).
  • Crowning Music of Awesome
  • Epic Riff: “The Dead Flag Blues” motif, repeated at the beginning of “East Hastings” as well.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: All Lights Fucked, because of its rarity, although it may also be a case of Canon Discontinuity, as the band no longer perform songs from it.
    • With a little Old Shame thrown in. Although without hearing it, it's impossible to say if they re-worked any of it.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Yeah, listening to GYBE in the middle of the night or while trying to sleep is usually a bad idea.
  • Magnum Opus: Lift Your Skinny Fists by consensus, but F# A# ∞ and Slow Riot are both close.
