Gojira

[Volk9]

So anyone seen them live?

I just saw they were touring here this friday, and was wondering if I should go.

[Sigz]

I have not, but by all accounts they're absolutely awesome. I'd definitely go if I ever got the chance.

[glaurung]

Neither of I but a fiend of mine that saw them open for someone (Behemoth, I think) said they were awesome.

I have seen them live...they're immense...DEFINITELY GO and see them!

[Progmetty]

So anyone seen them live?

I did a couple of days ago, they suck beyond recognition.

wat

[Progmetty]

They sucked, the music sucked, the vocals sucked, all their songs sound the same.

[glaurung]

Son....

I am disappoint. 

[Sigz]

...

I seriously have no idea what to say.

[Progmetty]

I dunno why you guys are so surprised, I guess if you guys think they're good then it must be me, growling vocals distorts any good aspect of the music for me.

GO.  If you like their studio music even in the least bit, you will love them live.  Their music translates over to a live setting extremely well, to the point that it sounds better live than the actual albums.

Yeah, ignore metty, he doesnae even like the band...if you do like them you'll have a great time

[Arch Benemy]

Yeah you've definately gotta see them live. I first discovered them because I was blown away by them at a festival, and I've now seen them 4 times and they've owned me at each show. I've never seen a band who are tighter live. Their drummer is one of the best metal drummers of all time, and you'll almost certainly get a cool drum solo. So yeah, go

Well, I just took a flyer on their "The Way of All Flesh" album today.  I went to get three CD's, they didn't have have two of them, and this single Gojira CD was practically staring at me...and I remembered seeing a thread here, and it being ranked pretty high on a music opinion site I frequent (sorry DTF, I'm promiscuous), so without ever hearing a note (or even knowing what kind of music they make), I picked it up.  I'll let you know what I think in a day or two.

[Volk9]

Hope you enjoy it!

[Dr. DTVT]

Two listens in and I can see the appeal of Gojira, particularly musically.  Lyrically...I didn't make out much, but I was playing it through my laptop speakers the first time, and playing a very intense game of backgammon the second time.  I knew that CD was calling out to me today at the store 

[Progmetty]

whoa the studio albums sound as bad as their live show did.

Is there really any point commenting in this thread if you don't like them...

[Neccy60]

Kill yourself

[Arch Benemy]

Seriously man nobody cares what you think.

[Progmetty]

whoa I just saw this, kick ass replies fellas, high school is awesome! heh
It's not like I said "Fuck this band and all their fans", I actually saw them live and that's why I was commenting here.
I loved the "seriously man" bit there Benny, really made it sound like we've been arguing for days and you're finally setting things straight lol
Well fellas I see no reason whatsoever why my opinion should affect your love for that band's music, I see no reason why you're so angry and I certinly don't catch when I offended you but I'm not commenting on that band anymore if that will make you happy
You guys are so cute hehe

I'm not angry.  You're entitled to your opinion.

You should still kill yourself.

[Gwii]

Is the flamebaiting really necessary metty?  I don't understand why people have to come in threads just to shit on bands they don't like; it's really childish.

[Progmetty]

I agree, but I really didn't come here to do that just for the fun of it, I really was commenting on something I saw!
I said I'm through with it, fuckin chill guys.

[lateralus88]

Bumping this thread because I just got Terra Incognita last night. This is my first album from these guys, and I have to say I'm rather pleased with this album.

Also, Lizard Skin is pure

[Gwii]

In the Forest is even more

[lateralus88]

So after several listens, I really do like this album. Which album should I hunt down next? Any suggestions?

[Gwii]

I'd say get The Way of All Flesh.  If you like their first album, you will love this one.

[Dr. DTVT]

I'd say get The Way of All Flesh.  If you like their first album, you will love this one.

I agree.  I have three Gojira albums, and I would rank them:

1) The Way of All Flesh
2) From Mars to Sirius
3) Terra Incognita

I need to get their other studio album, but if you like Terra Incognita, I can't imagine you not liking the other two albums I have.

[Sigz]

I'd say get The Way of All Flesh.  If you like their first album, you will love this one.

Definitely either this or From Mars to Sirius.

[lateralus88]

Alright, The Way of All Flesh it is then.

Also, Satan Is a Lawyer, cool song or coolest song?


EDIT: Damn, I find myself enjoying Terra Incognita more and more with each listen.

Good to see some love for this album, it seems to get forgotten about. To be honest you can't go wrong with any of their catalogue, but when you get around to The Link make sure to pick up The Link Alive DVD too. It's got an amazing performance of pretty much all the songs from the first 2 albums. The version of Blow Me Away You(niverse) is the grooviest thing in the world

[faemir]

The Art Of Dying has such an incredible intro that I cut it out with audacity and put it on repeat

[lateralus88]

Bamp!

I recently picked up The Link, which only leaves From Mars To Sirius.

I have to say, so far I'm still liking Terra Incognita the best. I think it may be the vocals. On Terra, his vocal style seems much more concentrated on the deep, gutteral death growls (Lizard Skin for example) while throwing in a few other styles. While The Link and The Way of All Flesh has the gutteral vocals, Duplantier tends to focus more on a harsh sounding vocal style. Not quite death growls, but not quite singing. And it's not bad, but I much prefer the death growls over these type of vocals.

[Sigz]

HOW HAVE YOU NOT GOTTEN FROM MARS TO SIRIUS YET
