I'm enjoying this discussion.
I'm probably about midway between Rick and Spaz on this one. I like Godspeed - but I'm not thoroughly excited by them. I also don't see the huge difference in the songs - in fact, to me, they mostly sound alike. Yes, the notes are different. But all of their songs have the same melancholy and brooding sound, and the pattern of tension buildup-release-buildup again and fade is fairly identical in all their pieces.
One piece mixed in now and then - great. Listen to even a whole album - boring. But that's just my opinion - I could be wrong...
