    Has anybody picked this up? How does it stack up against their/his previous efforts?

    Personally I'm surprised the guy has so many fans. I saw them a few weeks ago & I didn't think the band were anything special but everyone was eating it up looked like. Whatever makes ya happy I reckon.

    Pale Sketches was pretty terrible. I dont think Lifeline is going to be much better.

    Jesu sounded interesting to me so I downloaded Silver. Bored me to tears and I don't see it being a grower like Drudkh or Agalloch either.

    Its self titled. Its better because it is much more metal and less shoegazy and lately Broadrick has been getting a bit to artsy and has quality control on his releases.

    I actually liked the direction on Conqueror, but I haven't heard the new one yet...

    Conqueror was horrible, in my opinion. The s/t is brilliant.

    I decided to buy it earlier today. Conquer was disappointing but I wouldn't call it horrible. To each his own I guess. I'll listen to it later on.

    Horrible is a bit of exaggeration. I did not see anything that was that bad about it expect it did not have the addicting listening factor has the first one. No major flaws.

    I highly enjoyed (and better respected...) the extreme minimalist shoegaze/droning approach on the s/t...

    I don't. I found it really tedious. One of the songs I heard was over 10 minutes and literally had two riffs.
