but rather the road crossed slowly and step by step by this group to reach the reconnaisance that it achieved today.The image of the French metal was not still flattering except our borders. But groups of the Gojira' tempering can be to change this by proposing as they make it a quality music.
For me, I like this band since their start. I was able, as many of my fellow metalheads countrymen, to see and to follow this group to reach at this deserved recognition. My favorite album is "The Link" with its concept of a tree as link enters the earth and the sky. But "From Mars To Sirius" is also a fantastic album.
What interresse me in this topic, it's to know what pleases you in this group (your favorite album or song for example), if you took quite hard the Gojira' machine on stage and what you have think of it, .....
In brief the reasons which make you like or not this group around a discussion and around an exchange of opinion
In your keyboards...

Written by [user id=26778] on 07.02.2008 at 00:21 If you are open-minded, you can listen to utter-crap music, and listen to Gojira. I joke of course  You don't like them it's your choice and your tastes, no offence with that. But it will not kidnap of my mind that Gojira plays a music much less crap than quite a lot of bands officiating in the same genre.

Seen them live again yesterday (Main Square Festival d'Arras where they played with Within Temptation and Metallica). Actually I only saw the last 15 minutes of their show because they were the 1st band to play (at 5pm) and there were too many people trying to enter the site at that time. Anyway they played "Flying Whales" and ended the show with "the Heaviest Matter of the Universe", and they played an extract of the upcoming album, song called "Vacuity" which sounds pretty good

knew them of their name a long time, but never bothered listing to them, until now. Listing some songs on their myspace sounds nice and groovy and heavy Death/Thrash.

ok i almost finished listening of this new beauty... this epic album is 75 minutes long! and so far i can say i'm very pleased with what i've heard. If you liked FMTS you will also like this one. I can't say much more, this album takes more that one listening... However this album is on a good way to my top list

Written by Sekhmet on 15.08.2008 at 15:01 Thats it! I am moving to Europe! We'd never get a line up like that in Australia  There is a decent Gojira fan base here, it would be awesome to see them.

I really like this band, I've discovered it just some months ago. My favourite album is Terra Incognita, but I really like From Mars to Sirius, too

I kinda love the new release. Its not quite on the FmtS level but its not really similar enough to me to compare the two. The only song I don't like is the one (can't remember the title) with Randy Blyth on guest vocals. It just doesn't fit the music at all. The best songs to me though are; Orborous, Toxic Garbage Island, The Art Of Dying, and Esoteric Surgury...

Good Thrash band is good. Pretty much enjoy the fuck out of FMTS, The Link, and TWoAF. Good stuff, period.

I saw them open for Behemoth back in 2007 and I really liked them. But I heard snippets of their studio-albums and I dunno if I'd like them so much...maybe I'll give them a chance.

Gojira are simply AWESOME. They are, however, the sort of band you really need to sit down and listen to their entire album to fully appreciate them. Aside from Terra Incognita, all of their albums are really masterpieces. THey also put out a great live DVD where they played The Link in it's entirety. I love these French metalers, and can't wait until they come back to the states again.

Written by [user id=1909] on 20.02.2009 at 17:34 I can really see how [i]The Way of All Flesh]/i] is a Love-it/hate-it sort of album (well, as with the rest of Gojira's stuff). I know a bunch of people who can't stand them, and and equal amount of people who absolutely love them. Kinda strange, really.

I will have to say that Gojira puts on one of the best quality live shows I have seen in awhile. I saw them live with Opeth in September, they were even better than I had expected. Plus...really... who else has a thrash metal band who sings about whales and ecological myths and manages to make it sound awesome? This being said, From Mars to Sirius is definitely my favorite album, although I'd have to say the live show is more intense than the recording.

Written by [user id=1909] on 20.02.2009 at 17:34 Then we share the same taste for that album... It sucks from one end to the other. From Mars To Sirius was a much better album. The Way Of All flesh sounds like Gojira tried to make death metal without double bass drums and it's boring.

Gotta say I really like their latest album but it definitely pales in comparison when you consider their previous works. Still it's not a terrible album by any means. I think, if anything, it suffers because of the greatness of albums like From Mars To Sirius.

. Perhaps seing them live could changed your mind but I doubt about it. You prefer Us Death/Trash, it's your choice and your tastes, but say that Gojira plays some big shit, it's little exaggerated no?
