The ending grabs the beginning. It's a loop, I dig it. The credits soundtrack may just be in the video.

Not my favorite of the singles so far, but it's definitely a slow burner. Very much looking forward to the album, last single was a banger.

berimbau is used mostly in Capoeira, which is a Brazilian fight/dance and it was what was used here, since the song is about their forest. Surely not a jewharp

Yeah i mean, they released three 5's in a row, i could not ask more from them, their drive and approach in music is kind of expected to change as time goes

"The video it's actually well done, but the song on itself is lacking"

Definitely agreed, the video absolutely elevates the track, and the song and MV together deliver a strong message, but I'm not sure how much I will return to this track after the fact. It's a nice "spectacle" on the first time through, but I don't think the replay value will be there.

This song was pretty boring but im still stoked to hear the whole record. I think they’ve gone a bit too traditional verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus in a lot of their songs and it takes away the wow factor a lot for me. The last single was still sick tho

Track has grown on me a bit, riffs have got stuck in my head tbh and the chorus hits quite hard.

Still a bit aimless at times though, album has potential to be their worst unfortunately.

Born for One Thing has been the best song released.

This is more like it, the fade out is fucking whack but this is pretty good. This single brings the groove, Another World brought the sick riff, still have fun playing it. The second riff was weak, two out of three, not bad.

I really like these three songs better than the singles from Magma and I really like Magma. These three from Fortitude foretell a diverse, yet still heavy hitting album. Once you get past that they aren't going to write another TWOAF it's all easier to take in. Gojira writes cool music and they are one of the best.

Born For One Thing gave us a little glimpse of Heaviest Matter's riff, but I don't see any of those sounds truly coming back again. Gonna aim for a more ethereal kind of listen, me thinks.

I meant Ohms as the measure for impedance on headphones (not the album). If I were you I'd wait for the 30th.

I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things. Checking out Gojira and King Crimson are just two of many itches I never come around to scratching them. Gotta do it some day. A new album might be the right thing to make me do it though

KC overall is 2 albums worthy and discog prog addict. You must check Red and Court. Now if you dig Mastodon and Tool f.e. Gojira is a must do discog run, but sure, if you re diggin it, don t torture yourself.
