Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (or Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! or Levez Vos Skinny Fists Comme Antennas to Heaven) is the second studio album by Post-Rock group Godspeed You! Black Emperor, released October 9th 2000. A Distinct Double Album clocking in at over 87 minutes, it borrows elements from ambient, noise, and drone, and consists mostly of instrumentals (There are vocal samples; their effects range from unassuming to Tear Jerker to outright Nightmare Fuel).If Spiderland and Laughing Stock are considered the Trope Makers of Post-Rock, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven has since become its Trope Codifier, earning both praise and replication from all directions. It's either called one of the greatest albums of 2000, of the Turn of the Millennium, or of all time, being held as a shining example of symphonic songwriting with rock instrumentation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) |

Boléro Effect: At least once in every track. In particular, "Sleep" is comprised of two crescendi, with the first being incredibly bleak and dirge-like, and the second being the most rapturous, joyous movement on the whole record. |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: "Glockenspiel Duet Recorded at a Campsite in Rhinebeck, N.Y.", a glockenspiel duet which presumably was recorded at a campsite in Rhinebeck, New York. Also, "Atomic Clock" is a sample of the WWV atomic clock and "Moya Sings 'Baby-O'" is a recording of band member Mike Moya singing the folk song "What'll We Do with the Baby-O". |

Nostalgic Narrator: Murray Ostril in the intro to "Sleep", an elderly New Yorker who reminisces about his childhood memories of Coney Island before sadly noting how "it's shrunk down to almost nothing". He provides one of the most iconic quotes in the band's discography. |

Mood Whiplash |
| | Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Music) / int_a4c37cbe |
comment |
Mood Whiplash: "Moya Sings Baby-O," the movement at the beginning of "Antennas to Heaven," comes out of nowhere and is a jaunty little guitar song. About abusing an infant. Afterward, the songs shifts back into the expected dark, symphonic number. "Storm" starts off with an incredible build-up to an almost heroic, inspiring melody ("Lift Yr. Skinny Fists, Like Antennas to Heaven..."), only to suddenly shift to something quite foreboding and intimidating ("Il pleut à mourir [+Clatters Like Worry]"), just before collapsing into pure sadness. ("Cancer Towers on Holy Road Hi-Way"). |

Last Note Nightmare |
| | Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Music) / int_bda474d2 |
comment |
Last Note Nightmare: A few examples, but "Monheim" particularly stands out, devolving into a cacophonous Drone of Dread before the guitarist plays some dissonant chords and then the whole thing collapses. Played With, though, because it transitions seamlessly into "Broken Windows, Locks of Love Pt. III", probably the most beautiful movement on the album. |

Writing Around Trademarks / Bland-Name Product: Despite the recording sampled in the song clearly saying: "Welcome to ARCO AM/PM," the album liner notes identify the movement name as: "Welcome to Barco AM/PM... [L.A.X.; 5/14/00]." The reason why probably falls under one of these tropes. |

Lyrical Dissonance |
| | Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 |
comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Moya Sings Baby-O," the first movement in "Antennas to Heaven," features Mike Moya singing a jaunty, upbeat tune about throwing an infant into a hayloft, feeding it alcohol, and stabbing its eyes out. The fact that it appears out of nowhere in the middle of a primarily instrumental symphonic post-rock record makes it even creepier. |

Design Student's Orgasm: Both the cover and the liner notes inside, which features a diagram of the tracks detailing movement length and dynamics on each side◊ (though the times given for the movements don't line up exactly with the final mix). It also has a letter and old photos from the band, along with some neat illustrations on the inside. |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: A relatively normal post-rock album, with the usual dark, movement based suites and 20 minute tracks. Then, out of nowhere, "Moya Sings 'Baby-O'..." comes on. |

Earn Your Happy Ending |
| | Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Music) / int_f64a9cf7 |
comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: "Antennas to Heaven". After an hour of emotionally intense and occasionally terrifying music, this song carries a feeling of release and serenity not unlike "The Dead Flag Blues" on the band's previous album. To a lesser extent, the ending of "Sleep" also counts, particularly when contrasted with the incredibly bleak first half. |

comment |
Darkest Hour: "Static" is this for the album as a whole, with its haunting sample of a street preacher babbling about seeing the face of God followed by the most apocalyptic crescendo on the entire album, which is then followed by an immensely ominous Drone of Dread. |
