On 2 March 2021, the band released a video with a minute-long preview[2] of the first track on the album: "A Military Alphabet (five eyes all blind) (4521.0kHz 6730.0kHz 4109.09kHz) / Job's Lament / First of the Last Glaciers / where we break how we shine (Rockets for Mary)".
The music was accompanied by a 16mm projection show from Karl Lemieux and Philippe Leonard, and shot in an empty Cinema Imperial in Montreal.
The 16mm projections opened, as is characteristic of the band's live shows, with the word "HOPE" scratched white onto black on celluloid.
[16][17][18] On some streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music and Deezer), tracks 1 and 3 on the physical release are split up into their individual movements.
[19] The opening movement of the album, "A Military Alphabet (five eyes all blind) [4521.0kHz 6730.0kHz 4109.09kHz]", is a drone accompanied by recordings of shortwave radio transmissions[17][20] and gunfire.
[18] The side closes with the movement "where we break how we shine (ROCKETS FOR MARY)", a recording of birds chirping while guns can be heard in the background.
[20] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Paul Simpson assessed the track as "easily the most ecstatically triumphant music GY!BE have ever made".
[23] Critics noted G_d's Pee, reintroducing found sound recordings[19] and moving away from the ambient sounds of Luciferian Towers,[13] as a return to form for the band, with Ben Salmon writing for Paste Magazine: "Having zigged for a while, Godspeed zags (of course) on G_d's Pee, bringing back some of the inscrutable elements that made the band so interesting in the first place.
[24] Writing for The Guardian, Kitty Empire commented that this album is a 'particularly rocking instalment of their familiar franchise; still head and shoulders above most other music that sails under the flag of post-rock'.
