Named after the last track on HYMNS, the final Godflesh album, Jesu is a literal extension of singer/guitarist Justin Broadrick's pioneering industrial-metal work. (In fact, Jesu's line-up often includes latter-day Godflesh drummer Ted Parsons, formerly of Swans and Prong.) While the British act's 2005 self-titled full-length outing can hew closely to the crushingly heavy Godflesh sound (see the ominous, rumbling "Your Path to Divinity" and the pummeling "Man/Woman"), the record takes that dark, chilly aesthetic and gives it a surprising degree of emotion and warmth, particularly on the slow, pensive "Tired of Me" and the shimmering "Sun Day," hinting at the dreamy shoegaze approach that Broadrick would pursue on subsequent Jesu releases.

The Wire (p.68) - "[H]e marries Industrial intensity to a more conspicuous sense of melody and cloaks it in an all-encompassing atmosphere of gloomy majesty." Jesu Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Just Listen...
This album is without a doubt a work of layered and bleak yet uprising genius... Maybe Swans and the like made the mould back in the eighties.. But here it is, here moist and now. A modern take on both the beauty and sadness felt by everyone and everything. Play it to a sunrise..play it to a sunset.. Whatever. Just Listen and absorb. Essential for life.

No need to say anything...
A masterpiece. The most musical stuff on this planet. Heavy as hell. Light as wind. Fantastic minimalistic texts. Thousands of different sounds. Every song is the best, but the 2nd one "Friends are Evil" is nothing less than a miracle. Thank you Justin, you're a genius.

If you think Sigur Ros is a bit too "ordinary", Jesu is what you have been waiting for. I completely disagree with the anonmymous german who rates this at one star and says we donīt need it. This is an album that takes this genere one step further, and comparing this to the Swans must only have to do with the fact that Ted Parssons (drums) played with the Swans for a while in the 80īs.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Boring ! - Sounds like SWANS -
Hey Jesu-members, please wake up. Itīs a shame.
We are in 2005 and your stuff sounds like the SWANS from 1980-1985. Nobody needs this! Listen to the original SWANS (CD: Cop, Holy Money, Greed, Filth)

Purchase Jesu CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Jesu album
 $6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version ...
| | Isis Oceanic CD (2002)
Jesu CD music
$13.49  
Oceanic is the next logical step for Isis after the ugly, grandiose Celestial, the Aaron Turner-led outfit's second full-length looking simultaneously inward and outward, reaching into the nether regions of outer space while still keeping its feet firmly earthbound. Yes, it's an ambitious record, one that isn't immediately consumed and digested -- rather, it consumes and digests the listener with grand and hypnotic waves of sound. Songs blur together as aggressive, post-hardcore guitar riffery trades with lengthy, meditative bouts of electronic exploration, a technique ...
| | Neurosis Eye Of Every Storm CD (2004)
Jesu music CDs
$12.79 
Veteran acts like Neurosis can only stay alive through constant evolution, and THE EYE OF EVERY STORM is yet another dramatic step in the Bay Area group's long, strange journey. Whereas previous albums could be considered studies in heaviness with moments of reflection and meditation, THE EYE OF EVERY STORM shifts the focus to a stronger emphasis on atmosphere and mood, with temporary squalls of heavy metal thunder ...
| | Isis Panopticon CD (2004)
Jesu songs
$13.05
If the glacial dynamics of previous metal and hardcore abstractions Celestial and Oceanic didn't prove that Isis was a heavy band in every sense, then Panopticon should do the trick. The title comes from 18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham's prison design, which was later referenced by Michael Foucault in the 20th century. The idea is that a centrally placed guard or watcher can ...

| | Lilitu Dolores Lesion CD (2004)
Jesu CD music
$11.85
With their third full-length album, 2004's Delores Lesion, Atlanta, Georgia's Lilitu haunt the fringes of the so-called New Wave of American Metal -- only they take the genre's commonplace melodic-death metal-hardcore ingredients and proceed to add progressive and gothic overtones, heavy doses of synthesizers, and an emotionally charged approach drawn directly from the emo movement. Yes, with so many elements packed this densely, it is a bit too much to handle at times, and what often sounds like a remarkably eclectic and risk-taking album, unfortunately also comes off hopelessly scattershot and confused on occasion. In what ultimately amounts to an unresolved stalemate between creative accomplishment and creative folly, the excellent "Only the End of the World Again" inaugurates this bold experiment with a streamlined compositional layout and a glorious death metal riff copped right out of the In Flames handbook. Then, ensuing offerings "Even the Vultures Have Moved On (A Tragic Love Story)," "Follow Through" and the title track introduce counterpoint clean vocals of the male Killswitch Engage variety, and a mixture of backing female voices and trip-hop nuances more typical of Swedish goth-mavens Tiamat. All three boast stunning moments, awesome atmospherics, and positively magical guitar solos, but more extreme minded fans ...
| | Honey Love: Smooth Jazz Plays R. Kelly! CD (2005)
Jesu music CDs
$14.65
Disappointing because of what could have been but pleasant enough for what it is, Shanachie's Honey Love: Smooth Jazz Plays R. Kelly is bedroom-sexy half of the time, but a quarter of the album mistakes "smooth" for "bland" and "background" for "wallpaper." The highlights bookend the album with a feel-good version of "Bump N' Grind" opening the album and two of Kelly's big epics closing. Pamela Williams captures the "Toot! toot!/Beep! beep!" spirit of "Ignition" and Marion Meadows' wandering take on "I Believe I Can Fly" is the most "jazz" and exciting moment on the album. Everette Harp puts a wealth of emotion into his "I Can't Sleep, Baby," which unfortunately ...
| | Haunted Dead Eye CD (2006)
Jesu songs
$10.89
The return of original vocalist Peter Dolving before the Haunted's fourth album, rEVOLVEr, coincided with the respected Swedish metal band's first deliberate effort to break out of their heretofore self-imposed neo-thrash metal boundaries. But for those unadventurous fans who already bristled at that album's tentative forays "out of the box," their 2006 follow-up, The Dead Eye, may sound tantamount to stylistic treason. Here, token samples of the group's once dominant brisk thrashers (instantly recognizable thanks to their fast-picked notes, originating with Anders and Jonas Bjorler's legendary prequel band, At the Gates) like "The Medication," "The Shifter" and "The Stain" are exceptions, not the rule ...

Jesu CD music
$10.89
Ben Stiller's movie roles are rarely serious, so perhaps it's appropriate that the soundtracks to his comedies are similarly silly. The Heartbreak Kid marks Stiller's first collaboration with the Farrelly brothers since 1998's There's Something About Mary, whose accompanying soundtrack mixed enduring pop classics with such modern-day torchbearers as the Dandy Warhols. Stiller's new soundtrack follows suit, with a pair of celebrated David Bowie songs ("Suffragette City" and "Ashes to Ashes") laying ...
