Every Gojira song ranked from worst to best
I was kinda possessed with Gojira for the last couple of months and decided to rank all their songs, which was a much more challenging task than expected. Anyway, after ~100 hours of listening to Gojira, in order to give an accurate representation of my taste, this list is done. Some songs of course might be a couple of positions higher or lower, depending on my mood. Let me know what you think, which song should be higher or lower.
Of course my rankings are totally subjective and the songs at the end of the list are still great.
Thanks for reading :) |

The Gift of Guilt
This song was the one that started my love for Gojira. Great instrumentation, great lyrics, amazing bridge. "We're left as starving orphans, the vital core is gone
Our sins are all over and over again we swallow
We're sick and tired when this wind blows, the reflex is insane
We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love" |
