The opener is amazing Gojira. That track fucks (everyone pretends that song is not in the album). Into The Storm is also top Gojira.

Too soon really to give an accurate rating, as I've only listened once so far. My first impression is it's definitely an improvement on Magma, but still doesn't have the impact of their classic period.

I'm actually a regular in that group and post a bunch of memes on there, so I'm sure they'll be ok, lol. Plus, they're also pretty mixed on the album as well, so I'm sure they'll agree on certain things

Terra Incognita = Kill em All

The Link = Ride the Lightning

From Mars to Sirius = Master of Puppets

The Way of All Flesh = And Justice for All

L'Enfant Sauvage = The Black Album

Magma = Load

Fortitude = ReLoad



I saw this, who agrees, who disagrees lol

It's personally better than Magma. If it didn't have the Magma fill'ish songs, and if they allowed Mario to go more crazy, i't would have been L'Enfant Sauvage level.

Terra Incognita/Kill em All = The raw debut that's more intense and fast than any of their future records



The Link/Ride the Lightning = more experimental version of the first album with more sophisticated song structures and lyrics



From Mars to Sirius/Master of Puppets = usually accepted as the band's classic by both fans and publications, though some may disagree



The Way of All Flesh/And Justice for All = Arguably the band's proggiest and most technical record, as well as one of their darkest



L'Enfant Sauvage/The Black Album = the beginning of the band's more streamlined phase with dumbed-down instrumentation but also traces of their past work



Magma/Load = the continuation of the streamlined sound, this time ditching the technicality for minimalism and simple song structures



Fortitude/ReLoad = Magma/Load but worse



Sounds about right to me

i mean this absolutely is not true about KEA lol...

yea RTL has fade to black and stuff but it also has the t/t, fight fire with fire and creeping death which are way more intense than what 99% of metal bands were doing at the time still playing around with their nwobhm influences

How so, exactly? Pretty sure that's commonly accepted as their most thrashy and intense album even now... for both bands, really

I guess what I was saying is that KEA was more consistently intense, while RtL used that intensity and expanded upon it with a wider range of influences and sounds

RTL also marked a shift going from KEA's extremely diamond head and other nwobhm influenced pentatonic scale using riffs to ... well, more of their own thing really, again see the tracks i mentioned

tbh i think terra might be gojira's 2nd most technical record that ppl dont want to admit because it sounds kinda core-y and they dont like it as much as from mars... theres a lot of crazy shit going on in there, not just intensity, and also sees them at their most morbid angel worshipping but in a good way

it's hard to compare because both are entirely different subgenre's from each other, Gojira is inherently more intense than Metallica so it's hard to gauge, I do think it vaguely matches up with from album to album though, almost scarily so

I liked this a lot tbh, more than Magma, but I do agree that something is missing
