Intro riff is mediocre. The album was good and I was entertained most of the time but I think it's safe to say that Magma is their weakest release.

Do want to hear.

I really dug Silvera, and Stranded grew on me after a bit.

album is going to be a let down for a lot of people

This song is the best single. Album is really good. Different from what they've done, but Gojira in the core.

i'm so emotional after listening to this, oh my :'O

Album leaked already

I can dig it.

Been listening to the album for a while now and it rules. It's not what everyone wanted or expected, but it's cool so whatever.

Not bad but not amazing either.

Probably their most interesting album to date.

Album rules

Not a huge fan of it, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up liking it. Definitely my least favorite from them.

I have to give it a better listen because the only copy out there is crap quality.

Stranded is still my fav

U really do justice to your name tool

I think mine is The Cell and Silvera. Those rule hard.

Don't like how they're losing their edge. They're still heavy, but they seem to be getting more radio-friendly.

The Shooting Star and Only Pain >

Signing with Road Runner might do that to you.

I think they've become more subtle in their attempts at making their bands more accessible (roadrunner I mean). Magma is clearly more radio-friendly but it's far from the complete shift in the approach that fear factory's digimortal or Machine Head's Burning red represented for these bands.

not bad, just lacking punch. after the tremolo stuff in the middle the song picks up but it's just a little too late

I just got The Way of All Flesh because I never listened to it. I guess I can treat that as if it's new and amazing. This album although, sounds like it will at least be decent.

opeth go and gojira come

they had a good run on their last three albums seems they're just gonna throw that away

I think it'll be great, fingers crossed

This reminds me of Mastodon more than anything.

System of a Down Spiders.

Whole album streamed yesterday. Why are you writing news articles about one single?

streamed? u sure it was not just a leak tho?

pretty sure twas a leak

Yeah, the album sounds a lot like CTS Mastodon at times.
That's not bad or anything, but the album as a whole is fairly uninteresting.

pretty convincing leak.....

oh ok, no need to enrage urself

not available in my country wow rude

goddamn that riff is boring

The spacey vibe is kind of cool but the riffing is weak.

weak as piss

I had posted an article about the stream yesterday (it's Thursday here) but it hasn't been posted by a mod yet. Dunno if/when it will.

here's the stream link from Dat's article: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/gojira-magma-album-stream-a7082706.html

^or you could just scroll up a little : ]

you're a hizard, warry

never could dig these guys and this song didn't help

Might need some more time to digest but this album is better and sounds more focused than their last one imo.

I love the atmosphere on this one, I'm trying to go into this album without expecting it to sound at all like Gojira usually does.

Riff was nice, but it was too prevalent throughout. Needed a nice switch up toward the end like Explosia last album!

I feel like if you youtube Gojira - live at Brixton and listen to any of those songs, it will make you a fan for life.

Specifically Flying Whales and Oroborus.

Yeah intro riff is literally one note away from being Spiders by SOAD.

Magma's guilty of a lot of things, but radio friendly? Not at all.

Album is killer, needs a few listens so get to it you lot.

"Not available in your country" I hate that shit so bad.

@Faraudo by "radio friendly" I meant that the songs are shorter, the riffs simpler, the vocals more melodic, less agressive and more frequently clean, and the guitars are lighter. It doesn't exactly mean radio-friendly.

"Magma's guilty of a lot of things, but radio friendly? Not at all."

This could easily be played on a station that plays "alt" music.

I don't know guys. this seriously isn't good in my opinion. not even a single "ok" riff. nothing remotely interesting going on instrumentally, really not much in terms of atmosphere either. Would go as far as to say that this fucking sucks.

lol

No, it doesn't. There's plenty of interesting riffs in there, you sound like you're ranting; more than giving a honest no bs opinion.

"nothing remotely interesting going on instrumentally"

i guess you're not capable of following the drums? or the leads and taps for that matter lmao

yeah they suck

ok so where the interesting drums at

Inside your heart.

woah damn
