Album Description
Available in:
Yanqui U.X.O. is the third studio album by the Canadian post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It was produced and recorded by musician Steve Albini at the Electrical Audio in Chicago, Illinois in late 2001. The recording was published by the Montreal-based label Constellation on 11 November 2002, in Europe on both Compact Disc and vinyl record and one week later worldwide.

This album marks the first release by the group after slightly altering their name (moving the exclamation mark from the "emperor" to the "you"), as well as their first that was recorded outside of their native Canada. Lacking both the group's characteristic interwoven field recordings and specifically named movements, the recording was instead described by the band as "just raw, angry, dissonant, epic instrumental rock."

Yanqui U.X.O is the band's most divided record critically. While some, such as Allmusic, praised the release as the group's finest album yet, others, like Pitchfork Media, derided it for its "sluggishness and a lack of invention." Shortly after the record's publication in 2002, the group announced an indefinite hiatus so band members could pursue differing musical interests.
