Wow, nice. I love it when people are clearly so interested in what they're writing about.
Sounds like I'll start with Planned Obsolescence then, and work my way through their stuff. Thanks for such solid recommendations. :)
Hey I’m just glad more people are interested in them.
Thinking about “Planned Obsolescence” reminds me that another of Gojira’s greatest skills is in writing endings. Plenty of songs have great endings, and every single album ends with something emotionally memorable. It’s probably why I love listening to all of their albums start-to-finish. There’s a great sense of completion and closure to all of them.
Terra Incognita’s “1990 Quadrillions De Tonnes” (the weight of the Sun) is layered with the sounds of people screaming as the Earth burns. The Link’s “Dawn” is a dark naturalist instrumental. From Mars To Sirius’ ending… well you should just listen to it. “The Way of All Flesh” I already mentioned. L’Enfant Sauvage’s “The Fall” is about as dark as the entire album gets. Magma’s “Lowlands” into “Liberation” tears my soul to shreds. And Fortitude’s “Grind” is the heaviest, most depressing sarcastic call to inaction to follow all of the encouragement that came before it, reminding the listener that the world is not easily fixed.
Damn I think I really love this band more than I thought I did lol
lol sounds like you do, good on you. I've been listening to them for a bit and I really like them. I'll be checking them out some more later, thanks again for the great comments!
