03.03.20 | It is 2020 and another Voivod discography jam is due woo woo |
TabulaRasa6
03.03.20 | Looks like it's time for me to break my Voivod cherry. |
Pikazilla
03.03.20 | Yes, definitely! One of my favourites of all time. |
Dewinged
03.03.20 | I know someone here who would agree with you on this being the greatest metal band ever. |
Pikazilla
03.03.20 | Yes. His username kind of gives it away. |
Dewinged
03.03.20 | Yep, yep. I also have to get more into these guys, only heard a couple of these. |
Trifolium
03.03.20 | I've never heard anything from these guys. Don't know if I dig based on the genre tags though. What could be a good first impression-album to see what they're all about? |
Pikazilla
03.03.20 | Start with 1! That was my first Voivod experience. I was instantly blown away. Love at first sight, as they say. |
el_newg
03.03.20 | what a band, haven't done a discog run for a few years
Killing Tech is my fav but their best albums are all very close in quality
|
Pikazilla
03.03.20 | Yeah, man, top 3 are interchangeable, easily! |
Bedex
03.03.20 | they do like a specific colour palette don't they |
Ocean of Noise
03.03.20 | Very good ranking. 1 and 2 are basically tied as my favourite. |
Voivod
03.03.20 | I would swap 4 with 5. |
Pikazilla
03.03.20 | Oh, there's the man himself! Is that the only thing you disagree with? If so, I think I've done rather well here (: |
teamster
03.04.20 | Voivod. That is a joke right? |
aydross121
03.04.20 | I never got into these guys as much as I would like. I know the music is solid but I really don't like the vocal style.
I hate when people say they can't listen to something JUST because of the vocals but that happens to me here lol. |
Grimlin
03.04.20 | Voivod rankings are always interesting since they're rarely the same as the next person's. Some of this is the same as mine would be (specifically the last three), but KT would be first, Angel Rat would be much higher, and The Wake would switch spots with Target Earth. |
el_newg
03.04.20 | still haven't heard The Wake :/ but I loved Target Earth!! Mechanical Mind is up there with their best songs |
Gallantin
03.04.20 | You're overrating Phobos and underrating everything else |
Gallantin
03.04.20 | I also find it weird that Negatron is over s/t, Katorz, and Infini. They all rock way harder. |
Grimlin
03.04.20 | ^Negatron always gets a bad rap, but it is infinitely better than those three. |
Metalrain
03.04.20 | Phobos is so underrated, that album has such a low average for some reason |
Gallantin
03.04.20 | "Negatron always gets a bad rap, but it is infinitely better than those three"
Negatron is their only outright bad record, and the three at the bottom here are way too ignored. They all have great songs on them. I'll also go ahead and say they're better than Phobos too, which, while better than Negatron, is still Not Great. |
Sabrutin
03.04.20 | Was about to rant about Angel Rat being so low but then I saw the top 5 and thought "ah yeah, it's that kind of band" so fair work Pika. |
Pikazilla
03.04.20 | Phobos is extremely underrated and that average is a joke.
Negatron got a lot of flak because it was released right after Outer Limits, which is the closest album to being a fourth fullfledged Voivod classic. Oh, and its artwork is very goofy.
Target Earth > Wake any day, but both rule, yeah.
The last three are definitely the last three, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy them - they are still a fun listen. |
Gallantin
03.04.20 | Negatron got a lot of flak because it didn't have Snake, deviated entirely from their pre-established styles, and consisted almost entirely of extremely boring, extremely repetitive pseudo-industrial dumpster riffs that went nowhere.
Phobos was far less repetitive and boring, but still wasn't very good compared to the band's previous evolving style. Everyrhing up to Negatron felt at least like it evolved naturally to be that way. Negatron just went way off the map. |
Scheumke
03.04.20 | Never jumped into these guys. I guess its about time I change that. Will indeed start with 1 and see if its for me or not. |
HoopyFrood
03.14.20 | good job ranking a band that doesn't suck |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Ranking updated. New album is freaking amazing, their best post Infini work! |
evilford
02.12.22 | Overall good stuff but the wake at 11 makes me super sad |
evilford
02.12.22 | Props for phobos tho |
Gnocchi
02.12.22 | Will Voivod review the new Voivod? |
BigPleb
02.12.22 | New one is incredible, yeah.
Mongrain goes ham. |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Have you checked the new one yet, ford? I can't believe how good it is |
evilford
02.12.22 | Voivod is by far one of the best users/staff ever on this site
You can't change my mind |
evilford
02.12.22 | Im jammin it now yea its sweet |
evilford
02.12.22 | 1 and 2 are correct but id swap em |
BigPleb
02.12.22 | Sleeves Off is so unbelievably groovy, what a track.
Quest for Nothing, Holographic Thinking, t/t, Mind Clock...
New album is AOTY material, easily. |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Yeah, absolutely, pleb. They've really delivered on the new one. The instruments are so fucking tight on every song, it's insane. |
evilford
02.12.22 | Might have a non-dm aoty this year between new voivod n meshuggah 🥴🥴🥴 |
BigPleb
02.12.22 | The production is so beefy, love how the bass pops.
Band rules so hard, quickly becoming one of my favourites. |
evilford
02.12.22 | Best dm and thrash bands ever are both Canadian
Coincidence? I think not |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Ulcerate aren't Canadian |
BigPleb
02.12.22 | Gorguts would like a word with you, pika. |
evilford
02.12.22 | Correct |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | I know, I was just taking the mick haha |
evilford
02.12.22 | Tehehehe |
evilford
02.12.22 | God damn this band slaps ahrd |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Top 3 greatest of all time |
evilford
02.12.22 | Top 3 all genre? |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Top 3 everything |
evilford
02.12.22 | Damn |
evilford
02.12.22 | Definitely top 1 thrash. Sizeable gaps in front of and behind coroner at #2.
But everything, I'd have to put at least gorguts, ulcerate, meshuggah, neurosis and floyd over em and probably immolation idk
But who cares they slap, music slaps |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | My 3 are Neurosis, Voivod, and Ulcerate, with CoL marching ever closer with every release |
evilford
02.12.22 | Good top 4 |
evilford
02.12.22 | Id probably also have defeated sanity up there |
Trifolium
02.12.22 | Perhaps it's bad but I've never checked this band. I feel like I should. What's a good place for me to start? |
Pikazilla
02.12.22 | Dimension Hatross or Nothingface! |
evilford
02.12.22 | I feel like dimension hatross is your best bet. Has the best meld of their heavy early thrash leanings and the later prog direction they would take, and most vod fans have it in their top 3 probably |
evilford
02.12.22 | I feel like ur gonna dig these dudes super hard trif they've never stopped rocking |
Trifolium
02.12.22 | Cool cool yes I think that might be the case! Thanks you two, I'll check the Dimension one. |
evilford
02.12.22 | I'll jam it with you when I'm done with this defeated sanity album |
FR33L0RD
02.12.22 | Top 4, oh yeah! |
Ryus
02.13.22 | maybe the only thrash band i really like. i'd rank the top 3 the same way |
Ryus
02.13.22 | "check thrash"
i have tried :^( |
