Godbluff is the fifth album released by Van der Graaf Generator. It is their first disc after they reformed in 1975.
It features a tighter, more pared-down sound than the band's earlier recordings with John Anthony. Hammill makes extensive use of the Hohner Clavinet D6 electromechanical keyboard.
The first release of the record in the United States was on Mercury Records. The 2005 reissue added live performances by Van der Graaf Generator of two songs from Peter Hammill's album The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (1974). The tracks were recorded at a concert at L'Altro Mondo, Rimini, Italy.
The sleeve design and lettering were later parodied on the cover of Fall Heads Roll by The Fall.
