He probably wont like it at all. Delving into metal takes time, to listen to tech death and all those shitty subgenres you should get used to constant screaming and zero melody. At some point though, it all starts to sound like the same shit.

[@MF______]

You could see it from a different standpoint: Gojira have a message that was overheard. So they dicided to shout it out. And maybe the music is not aggressive but disturbing - and that's just the way it should be when carrying their massage.

[@kushleafs8638]

Gojira-vacuity

[@AirwavesEnglish]

Vacuity will bring tears it's so poweful. YES!

[@laicifo1]

Please react to "Wolf Down the Earth", Mario is amazing on this track

[@Jonsephar]

"Say please" @karl probably...

[@emperorofsharks5740]

Wolf down the earth isnt popular but is a masterpiece

[@martinstoelting2707]

And it's a great display of their approach. Gojira aren't fluffy-bunny tree-huggers. They are all about impact. And what music matches the brutality of human impact on nature better than theirs? Of course you could deliver the message even more misanthropic and gore-y (like Cattle Decapitation), but if bulldozing the Amazonas doesn't make you feel massive anger (or even "holy" wrath) - man, I don't know what else does. Silly satanic gorefest? Probably not. Not for me.

[@krysstarr5952]

That outro is insane. Always loved it!

[@josephweaver7460]

"Clone" or "Space Time" by Gojira from their first album, like nothing you've heard from them yet, heavy but with elements of almost sci-fi like guitar work.

[@GeronimoSioux]

You have to try "REMENBRANCE" ;-)

[@dariotoker4927]

Live only

[@detestor420]

@@dariotoker4927 doesnt matter if its from The Link Alive or from the album.. The :ink Alive is one of my favorite dvds to this day... i had it since it came out

[@bakerfilmsTV]

Listen to Space Time - Gojira. It’s a Heavy and Beautiful song.

[@Epeli744]

You have to do something from Terra Incognita.. space time, clone or love

[@Tritoness]

Finally some Terra recommendations, thank you. Remembrance the link alive is definitely one he has to check out. Clone, Blow me away you, space time are all gems.

[@VirulentWalrus]

Or Blow Me Away (especially the version from the Link Alive

[@detestor420]

i was JUST going to recommend Terra Incognita .. so amesome and raw.. the whole album is fucking fantastic

[@massthetics1013]

I personally think The Way of all Flesh is their best album. Straight bangers front to back

[@CriticalPotato]

What you like is their heavy groove sections, which are so unique. The drum and bass lines drive it and their guitars compliment it really well. Space TIme, Rememberance, Clone and Esoteric Surgery, and Explosia all have really grooves which I would recommend and they are all bangers.

[@imnotverysmart9982]

i wish i could hear this for the first time again. it was like a spiritual awakening

[@orion_5128]

That part of the song at 7:36 in the video always gives me chills Edit: 10:43 I agree! They changed up the riff and it sounds awesome but it fades out :(

[@BigChungus37_]

Let’s freaking go Karl! We can’t let him leave the Gojira grind! Karl can you let him listen to Explosia

[@dmusiclife5727]

CARL! You’re spot on this song absolutely destroys and the outro riff! Just forget it. My wife and I both lost our sh*t to this track and it’s also documented on KZbin 🤘

[@thoronthol1175]

You’re totally right... a soft message inside the hardest sound. I feel bad for people who have a problem with taking care of the earth. It’s such a basic thing. Another reason why Gojira defies the label of ‘death metal’. They are something completely different, and they evade categorization.

[@lamiana]

@Karl Johnson Drew needs to react to vacuity, as well as know that "from mars" is an intro track to "to sirius"

[@toddlerwipes]

I understand completely that you did not like backbone. But I have no idea how you don't like backbone.

[@lucianoastudillohenriquez2866]

That song was soulblowing for me

[@Tritoness]

After the first couple of songs he did from Gojira, i knew he wouldn’t like Backbone and Where Dragons dwell. I also am not a fan of both songs, especially backbone. My favourite Gojira is the old Gojira. Anything from Terra Incignita is pure gold to me, especially from the link alive... to each their own, that’s what makes this band so incredible!

[@lukehewko260]

@@Tritoness I thought he DID seem to like Where Dragons Dwell, it just wasn't his favorite.

[@Gravityys]

I didn't like it for a couple of listens but it grew on me allot

[@toddlerwipes]

@@Tritoness That's real strange. I'm the complete opposite. I guess there's something out there for everybody.

[@daddydawn1653]

‘From the Sky’ off of this album is also the most Gojira that a song could ever be.

[@lukehewko260]

My first, and only experience with Gojira live was at Heavy Montreal. I had just seen Sleep and Trivium, 2 live bands that have been playing together forever and play absolutely flawlessly. I knew Gojira was going to be great, but they made Trivium, as I mentioned before, an insanely tight band, look like a high school talent show by comparison. To your point Drew, about the message, Joe's presence on stage from the second he walks out is one of absolute disgust for humans and their disregard for the planet. It seems an unusual thing for heavy music to have an environmental message at first, but once you've done some digging, you'll see that a few of the most successful bands in metal have these types of themes. Carcass and Death both delve into the worlds of ethics and death, for animals and humans respectively.

[@nickroberts8642]

"Quasimodo" by Monuments. Insanely heavy while still being melodic and intricate. You would love it.

[@nurplepain3636]

Omg I would be so happy if he actually reacted to that. CRIMINALLY underrated album.

[@atharvajoshi5331]

Why y'all recommend songs that aren't their best and catchiest? Origin of Escape/Vanta ftw.

[@nickroberts8642]

@@atharvajoshi5331 Yeah those are great too. Just diving into any Monuments would be cool. I've just personally always had a soft spot for "Quasimodo"

[@atharvajoshi5331]

@@nickroberts8642 yeah but like...the best way to ensure he eventually gets to Quasimodo is by getting him hooked with something way catchier. And this is Monuments we're talking about so "catchy" doesn't mean bad at all.

[@nickroberts8642]

@@atharvajoshi5331 idk man he seems to be digging the prog scene. Just because those 2 are more straightforward doesn't mean it would hook him. If he isn't impressed out of the gate he'll never get into the more intricate stuff. Not saying he wouldn't like those, I just think Quasimodo has more character and is a perfect balance of their sounds for a good first showcase.

[@kadenielsen210]

Love this song, it’s relatively “tame” for Gojira initially and then it just goes off the rails halfway through

[@calderlund2924]

Definitely do “Clone” by GOJIRA. Has my favourite GOJIRA drop. So groovy.

[@MrRunnerAway]

Well, now every comment will start from “I don’t wanna hype it, but ...” You definitely need to listen one of their earlier tracks so you could appreciate the way they’ve made through all this years. So, by saying this, I recommend you to check “Clone” or “Remembrance”, you’ve definitely seen this names in your comments earlier. Be safe you all and have a big warm Hello from Russia.

[@ixkayn2415]

Damn i hate that it fades at the end.

[@jimofthenorth8090]

I'll continue my shouting out for you to check out Mastodon, their tracks Halloween, Jaguar God or The Last Baron for starters. Oh man, you like guitar riffs and groove, Mastodon have them both in loads :) Halloween is a great jumping off point, the last two albums have cleaner vocals and are, dare I say it, easier listening :) than the earlier stuff. Jaguar God is the kind of music that I didn;t think got made anymore and The Last Baron has a real beauty of a riff.

[@andersliffner6986]

Jim Jennings, right on! Mastodon does beautiful and Mastodon does heavy as ass. And most of us likes both sides. The two favorite tracks of mine are The Last Baron and Jaguar God, connecting on a emotional level with those. Keep fighting for Mastodon. I myself is a solid Cult of Luna admierer and im trying to get Ghost Trail in the line of sight for Drew. I think we´ll all very much like it. Peace!

[@aidankean5944]

I completely understand what you mean by different lyrical topics motivate people in different ways, and I am someone who actually really loves their lyrics and the environmental/ethical messages they discuss. I like to think that songs which people really connect to are ones which cover topics that are really deep and that many people can relate to on a personal level. When you put the environmental and ethical issues that they sing about into perspective you can see that these are actually issues that transcend the individual heartbreak and hardships we are all faced with, as we are all contributing to these issues on a much larger scale. They talk about our collective contribution as a species and as individuals to the destruction of life on earth itself rather than a blip of hardship that may occur in someones life, and sometimes I feel like that holds so much more meaning and warrants such hardcore instrumentals much more than hardship that an individual may face in their life.

Oroborus (trk 1 of TWOAF) is probably top 5 all of their songs, then theres the brain melter Toxic Garbage Island. But the true magic is the back half. 8-12 are just such fire, a brutal spiritual experience.
