the outer limits of the buttvoid?

Bump

2.5 averageGamamJ | July 21st 20

Voivod lost their way after Angel Rat. In my opinion, the more radio-rock oriented sound Voivod adopted on Angel Rat was a big hit to their uniqueness, and though they try adding back in some jazzy dissonance here, Piggy?s riffing just does not have the same effect qith the much more accesible structures and peogressions around it. Jack Luminous is really cool though.

3.0 goodChino smoking it up! | September 24th 18

this is good stuff but didn't made much for me, sometimes too "proggy grunge" and I'm not sure if it fits. Some parts of the music itself I found just ugly...that said, there is much talent and many cool parts and ideas all-round. fave here - Le Pont Noir.

4.5 superbFirstStrikeIsDeadly | June 22nd 14

The Outer Limits is Voivod's return to having a bit of an aggressive edge to their music. It's nowhere near as aggressive as their first three albums; Snake's still singing (His vocal performance is very strong, by the way), and I can only recall one brief fast/thrashy section off the top of my head. But just listening to the introduction to Fix My Heart, you know they were trying to be a bit more hard-edged. Whatever wider things you want to say about this album's aggressiveness or whatever don't really matter as much as the fact that this is another solid release from Voivod. Most of these songs are pretty damn good. But then there's Jack Luminous, which kicks so much ass and is one of the greatest musical accomplishments in Voivod's long career. There are dark and atmospheric passages, more raw and aggressive passages, and seemingly gentle and serene passages...that soon become eerie, of course. Since the album has Jack Luminous, as well as fantastic production, a ripping opener, and a string of consistently great tracks other than those two highlights, it's worthy of being considered a quality Voivod release.
