These songs played live…good God. So powerful. So very, very powerful
This is a good review but I have no idea how they pull off some of the sounds like on stranded and only pain. To me, this is the best Gorjira album, but I’m a huge tool fan as well so maybe I’m biased.
Is there a band called Mosura?
I saw them in Vancouver with Metallica and I thought they were better than Metallica. Even though them and any other band that tours with Metallica gets only half P.A
I dont consider myself a big Gojira fan but
(i have bought Magma,From Mars to Sirius and L’enfant + i went to one of their shows) personally i think this is the best album from them
i fucking love this record!
FINNALY THIS BAND GETTING SOME RECOGNITION
I think every reviewer needs to at the very least understand music theory. “letting off the gas” on songs is completely intentional and heightens the energy tracks they way they aught to be framed. Shooting star is monotonous because the last verses are so much better for it. Its an experience you live, not just hear once on the radio. I love Bliss by Muse because its a self contained song. This album has tracks that transcend themselves and make the next song a masterpiece only because of the song preceding it. The reason I love metal is exactly what this album delivers; an emotion that transcends the nuance that just one song could deliver. Stop pretending that this album is a collection of 10 songs.
I think Magma is their best work. It’s fucking deep.
Great album! We needed something like this.
Come on ! This album is 4 skulls !. It’s perfect in every way.
why does everyone in America say their name wrong?
this reminds me of all the comments made back in the day of people hating the Black Album from Metallica or dissing Back in Black or even say that Paul Dianno should have stayed with Maiden. In the end, The Black Album, Back in Black and The number of the Beast have opened wider audiences to these bands and made them extremely successful. The same is happening to Gojira. So sorry for people who do not understand that evolution is part of life 🙂
The needed a new direction for their music and i dig the more melodic style but the songs don’t do it for me. Hopefully they’ll nail this sound on their next album
I love Gojira but this reviews us overated… it’s an excellent Rock Album… it’s not even metal…
The cell is fucking sick, thats some complex drumming for ya in the pre-verse riff.
The Cell? Yellowstone? Pray? Low Lands? Liberation?
The official gateway album to Gojira.
Interesting review, you almost seemed down on the record but then gave it a good score? I was very disappointed with it, and yes I know about them losing their mother. Silvera is a banger for sure but the rest of it just sounds generic to me.
Ok I have literally asked this question a handful of times yet have not gotten an answer for it. Anyone know why they named themselves after Godzilla/Gojira from Toho Studios? Always been curious about it.
whats up with the hissing? did you record this on tape? 😀
neglected to mention Pray and Low Lands
Such a one dimensional review, he reviewed Hardwired the same way too. Heavy music can be something other than 100% banging too you know.
This is a cool review…a propper review… hands down!
It remind me the remission era of mastodon
the shooting star, pray, magma, silvera.
Sam, thank you for “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey”!!!
While this album caught me offguard at first because i was expecting that monstrous gojira riff sound. Im actually glad they changed things up a little. Its refreshing and far more accessible to more people,and im all up for more folks loving some metal!
You didn’t review low lands arguably the best and most diverse Gojira songs out.
I definitely agree with your opinion and review of Magma. But I’ve never understood why people use only 4 stars (in this case skulls) as opposed to 5. I feel like 4 really limits your ability to give a more accurate review.
i like to see a variety of heavy and soft in an album, it might just be me but i get bored if i listen to just heavy or just soft. So for me this album is perfect
“Liberation” was a great ending track in my opinion. I know people wanted heavier stuff on the album but it was a wonderful change of pace to me. Let’s you really see how diverse and interchangeable a band is. It’s just beautiful.
1:23 damn 😐
I must say Silvera and Prayer in concert are both fucking incredible. If you haven’t seen these guys live yet, drop everything and fucking buy a damn ticket these guys know how to put on a fucking show.
to hire have always had that slight Steve tucker era MA vibe in the guitar department. https://youtu.be/nIAZYVe8eCc
I’ve seen a few of your other reviews…. ones I’ve enjoyed but this is particularly odd. Odd review Mr. Metal Man
I love this channel.
*YEAAAAAHHH FUCKING GOJIRAAAAAA*
