Album Rating: 3.3 | Sound Off

Maybe it's because I've never heard their other music, but I didn't think it was bad. Definitely kind of a different take on that modern technical metal sound.

Album Rating: 3.5

This is extremely mellow compared to most their other stuff Willie.

If you wanna hear their best, in my opinion, listen to The Way of All Flesh.

Album Rating: 3.0

Gojira have never been all that technical tbh, minus the drums.



This is a really refreshing take on their normal sound tho, more melodic and the longer songs don't drag.



Definitely check their last record and From Mars and Sirius willie, great great stuff.

TWOAF is great too dude but is has some needless filler, album overstays it's welcome too.

Album Rating: 3.5

I know a lot of people think TWOAF has filler, but I completely disagree. I love every second of that album!

And I definitely agree with you about the drums being technical on their older stuff. I think that's what holds this one back for me. Picky, I know. But they don't call me SirDrumsalot for nothing!

At one point I was listening to this album in alphabetical order and tbh, I think it sounds better that way.

Yeah. I have their other albums on an Apple Music playlist. I'll check them out. I don't know why I always thought these guys were technical metal...

Flying Whales will blow your mind dude.

Album Rating: 4.5

I think if this was the style they had been playing in their whole careers, everyone would be raving about this album. But because it's a fairly drastic change, a lot of people can't deal with it and so give it a low rating. I've seen so many comments on youtube along the lines of "Goodybye gojira, you used to be great" or "its not technical or metulzzzz enough for me anymore".



I love the more melancholic, atmospheric feel of this album and hope they continue in this direction.



For those saying Gojira have never been a technical band, the precision in their riffing is quite extraordinary. You don't practice one riff for 2 hours if it's not:

i've always appreciated how they used tapping for riffs and not just solos unlike every other metal ever. but yea agreed

"For those saying Gojira have never been a technical band, the precision in their riffing is quite extraordinary. You don't practice one riff for 2 hours if it's not"



pretty much the most stupid argument I've heard in days. if their riffs aren't played with perfect precision at this point in their career it would be a fucking shame and practising shit for hours when you're 15 is pretty much what every person in a decent band EVER did.



this band is not technical because that would make pretty much any decent death metal band a "technical" band. but who the fuck cares. half of this bands songs rule hard.

Album Rating: 2.5

yea



they have a lot of fills sometimes and that's cool

Album Rating: 3.0

Being "technical" is relative anyways. Saying no other style of music can be technical because tech-death exists is a stupid argument too.

Album Rating: 2.5

that's not what dillinger said but ok

Album Rating: 3.0

Why can't every decent death metal band be considered technical? I don't see the issue here.

Are they playing with some degree of technical precision?

Technical is such a dumb descriptor anyways.
