[@SuperRoo_22]

"Satan Is a Lawyer" has always given me more like a Nirvana meets Death Metal vibe. Yeah, i agree with your assessment of "Terra Incognita". Very underrated. But for me, "From Mars To Sirius" & "The Way Of All Flesh" will always the best 2 Gojira albums. "Plastic Bag In The Sea!" Great review Robert. 🤘

[@johnathanpratt944]

I gotta say, Gojira's live albums are pretty sick.

[@johnathanpratt944]

Specifically the link alive. It brings a bombastic and ferocious energy to songs from The Link that was missing because of the sterile mixing. Remembrance is one of my favorite Gojira songs because of it.

[@johnathanpratt944]

They are among the best bands when it comes to live mixing. I suppose there are gigs where the setlist and convolution because of festival scheduling can prevent them at times from getting a good mix, but when they do (e.g. gojira at red rocks, brixton academy, Pol'and Rock, The Link Alive) it makes their studio albums look weak in comparison.

[@angrydalailama6089]

Couldn't agree more. The Link Alive is fantastic and absolutely makes me rethink my original ranking of their stuff. I'd still say top 3 are Way of All Flesh, Sirius and Sauvage. HOWEVER, I now wonder if The Link is #4.

[@getdrippy4416]

From Mars is timeless. I listened to it the other day. And it just gets better every time I hear it.

[@mdb7883]

Gets better every time... I have a hard time finding another album in music that tops it

[@nescaudrummer]

I don't know why, but The Link has always been my favorite album of theirs. I just love that technical death frenzy they had in that specific era of their career.

[@thebigman8250]

I didn’t connect w that shi until I heard the live version, and I absolutely ascended

[@ElliYeetYT]

When you name your song “The Heaviest Matter In The Universe” on the From Mars To Sirius album, that’s basically what you need to know. Gorgeous album it is. And Mario Duplantier is a fucking beast with those drums.

[@blackwaterrust476]

A band that took me a while to get into. But seeing Gojira live was honestly the moment I instantly became a fan of them and it all started to make sense. Almost Nothing is heavier than seeing the Heaviest matter of the Universe and Flying Whales live. Hearing the Mars from Sirius stuff live blew my mind. 🐋: From Mars to Sirius S: The Way of All Flesh, Le’Enfant Sauvage A: Magma, Terra Incognita B: Fortitude C: The Link I think you should at one point do a review all albums vid on one of the bands they were influenced by……morbid Angel

If Meltdown does do a Reviewing Every Morbid Angel Album video, Illud Divinum Insanus will have a big, fat 0 out of 5 because that album sucks!

[@Orangeokie7]

I liked them before I saw them live but I could definitely see how you'd become a fan after seeing them live. Their music sounds so much heavier live than on the album. Especially songs from Magma. I hated that album when it was first released but revisited it after I heard some songs from it live.

[@jcrockandmetalreviews]

Here is my ranking: 7. The Link 6. Terra Incógnita 5. L'enfant Sauvage (something about it doesn't click with me) 4. Fortitude (I recently re-visited this and I thought it was very good) 3. Magma (the first album that I listened to from them) 2. From Mars to Sirius ( its almost number 1 but I like the next one better) 1. The Way of all Flesh (This one has the best songs in my opinion )

[@itchyvinyl]

I was lucky enough to go see Gojira in 2007. The opening band on a 4 band bill if you can believe that. They were so good that I just left without seeing the other bands.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Honestly, thats a mood.

[@DavesPlace99]

Opening in 2007? Oh man, that had to be when they toured with Machine Head, Trivium and Lamb of God. It was the first time I saw Gojira too, gotta agree that they blew MH, Trivium and LoG out of the water.

[@itchyvinyl]

@@DavesPlace99 It was actually with Job For A Cowboy headlining, Behemoth, and one other band I don’t remember.

I have to say thank you. Because I thought you were crazy for the praise you heaped onto Terra Incognito. But I went back and gave it a listen and it blew me away. And I say that as someone who has been listening to the band since From Mars dropped. I guess I assumed since The Link is pretty lackluster for the most part Terra would be even more so since it was earlier material.

[@erikmathis4541]

The link is good. Very underrated record

[@ferrisbrett]

Was looking forward to this video, Gojira is one of my favorite bands and I’m glad you gave Terra Incognita a 4/5, that album is very under appreciated

[@TheNightmareRider]

This reminds me. I need to finish learning Amazonia on bass. I guess I got bored with learning whole-step down tuned songs and wanted to expand my drop D library, lol. Gojira is one of those bands that opened me up to more extreme metal sounds, and though Magma never clicked with me, every other Gojira album is still a banger, in my eyes. Great video! IDK who says Amazonia is a ripoff of Roots Bloody Roots, but knowing the basslines to both, I can say there's only a vague rhythmic similarity. Yes, you do have the bounce off the first fret, but Amazonia is much more steady in its chugging rather than the constant headbanger or RBR. Plus Roots is all in 4/4 while the chorus of Amazonia is in 6/4 time. Nitpicks, I know, but I have to learn *something* as a bass player XD.

[@mindful2864]

Awesome video Meltdown, Gojira are one of my favorites when it comes to progressive and death metal. They've got a unique sound and can be very heavy as well as relaxing and beautiful on the same album. They have a super consistent discography. Here would be my rating of each album: Terra Incognita: 3.5/5 The Link: 4/5 From Mars to Sirius: 5/5 The Way of All Flesh: 4.5/5 L'Enfant Sauvage: 4/5 Magma: 3/5 Fortitude: 4/5

[@demonryucg]

I remember getting From Mars to Sirius to review in 2006 when Prosthetic issued it in North America and it was a game changer at the time. Still my favorite.

[@yoiamhere4737]

My ranking would be 1. Mars 2. Fortitude 3. Flesh 4. Magma 5. Terra 6. L'enfant 7. The link The link falls very flat for me but I agree with you, Terra is such a gripping record. Also Fortitude is sick I loved it a lot!

[@michaelmacvittie6977]

I haven’t listened to Terra or Link yet, as I got burnt out due to Fortitude coverage. Ranking the rest: 1: Magma 2: From Mars To Sirius 3: The Way Of All Flesh 4: Fortitude 5: L’enfant Sauvage Magma wins for a simple reason: it’s the only album where once it was immediately over, I hit play again. I also think I’ve only fully finished LS once, so it ranks last for that.

[@coilfan09]

One of my favorite bands of all time personal ranking would be 1. Magma 2 The way of all Flesh 3. Fortitude 4. Terra Incognita 5 From Mars to Sirus 6. Le Efaunte Savage 7. The Link

I absolutely love this analysis and reaction. I will challenge you to return to Planned Obsolescence, Pain is a Master, and The Fall off L’Enfant. All three songs crush me every time I hear them, and (for me) elevate the entire album. They’re so good, filled with Joe’s passion, and the lyrics are ridiculously personal, and intelligent. I am nothing, the pain awake is forging me Face down, inert Forcing me, dreams haunting me I am immense, I am awake, renewed

[@allosanthrwpos542]

You mentioned “Amazonia” being Gojira doing metal for the radio. I come across this often. So here’s my perspective - I live in Greece. There’s absolutely no way any Gojira song would play on the radio here. No Slipknot , no lamb of god , no screaming or thrashing on the radio . That’s why some people not from Greece talk shit about Slipknot being Radio friendly , and here were like “wtf are they talking about? I d give anything to have Slipknot or Gojira on the radio here!” Seriously the Rock stations of our country just play the same Gun n roses, Rory Gallagher, oasis , rem, nirvana , Rhcpeppers - you get the idea - and it’s the same fkn songs too , absolutely no deep cuts !

[@thoronthol1175]

Well said! I always wonder what radio station people are listening to :) The slowest and lightest Gojira song would be the heaviest thing on the radio where I live.

Yes fortitude is equivalent to the black album. But let's be honest. Each of those albums in their respective sounds. Has some absolute bangers. Grind, Sphinx, New Found, and Amazonia

L’Enfant may be my new favourite, along with Sirius. Flesh needs a bit of trimming in my view. The album tends to lose its grip on me around two thirds of the way through.

[@chaosandcreation4118]

My favorite Gojira album changes with my periods of listening. I always come back to Gojira but like to mix it up and have gone from Mars to Sirius to Terra Incognita to The Link to Way of All Flesh back to L'enfant Sauvage. The last two are special and I love a number of tunes on them but definitely lean to earlier heavier - without dissing them in the least.

[@astralmass]

WOO-HOO! I've wanted you to do this for quite some time!

Did you happen to catch them at The Mod Club in 2009 with Dillinger?? That was my first time seeing either band, and one of the best shows I've ever been to. Holy Shit Snacks.

[@zaczakariclips]

It's so funny how every gojira fan has different favorite albums, some fans love FMTS, some fans love Magma, some fans love The Link, some fans love L'enfant

[@kristianrybar8082]

Hey, love the video, but I would like to say that from the looks of it you listened to the original master of The Link and I recommend you listen to the 2005 remaster. It's a lot less muffled and I'm really lucky to have listened to the remaster the first time I listened to it. Now, obviously I have my own biases but The Link is my favorite album out of everything Gojira's done. For me it keeps a lot of of the brutality and rawness of Terra but sound very different from everything else. For me there isn't a dull moment in this album and I love it so much that I'll be getting my first tattoo of this album, which will be specifically the tree from the The Link Alive album sometime after Christmas. If you browse reddit keep an eye out and you'll definitely see how it turned out.

[@allosanthrwpos542]

From Mars to Sirius, magma and the way of all flesh is my top 3 ! You forgot to mention the huge Influence Korn had on Gojira. I’m kidding . But I’m not. But I am . But I’m not 😛 Love your take on Magma too , I fell in love with that record instantly, I felt the natural progression of the band here , and it’s really funny people claiming they “sold out” here. I send “stranded” to a normie girlfriend I had and she freaked out …. I don’t get the gatekeeping metal heads do , so no melody is allowed whatsoever ?

[@jordancarey5460]

So how you feel about L'enfant Sauvage is how i reacted and feel about Magma. There are great songs on there, but the midway looses me. Besides that, Gojira's discography has a consistency similar to that of Converge. They are all good! Just pick the one your listening to today.

[@shangrispa]

I am the only person that prefers L'Enfant Sauvage to From Mars to Sirius.

[@thoronthol1175]

I listen to both equally (along with TWOAF), and they’re all ridiculously amazing. Terra has become burned into my brain over the past year as well.

[@erikmathis5321]

A 3.5 on the link is definitely deserved. It seems a lot of reviewers here on KZbin don't like it but I've truthfully always just felt they all influenced each others opinion on that album and didn't really give it a chance lol. A very solid heavy more death metal sounding gojira record with hints of their future sound sprinkled in. It's the perfect middle ground album between terra and mars

[@Jayagebee]

The only albums I revisit once in a while are From Mars to Sirius and The Link. I’m not a fan of them, but they’re definitely talented and respectable guys.

Back in 2019 when I had first started my channel, I did a review of From Mars to Sirius and I gave it a 4.5 out of 5. Actually, I think that review was the 3rd or 4th video I had ever put out. I love Gojira and have seen them twice!

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Nice, seen 'em 3 times myself. Once in 2014 with Mastodon and Kvelertak, again in 2016 with TesseracT, and then in 2019 with Slipknot and Behemoth. They're so good live.

[@crazydud3380]

The Link may actually be my favorite, and it definitely has one of the most deliciously weird breakdowns I have ever heard. Yeah, I guess I'm on the Magma hater end of the spectrum. To me, that album sounds very generic and dull, with very weak vocals. Having heard you explain it's background does help contextualize it, but I think the attempt to come as sad introspective comes off more as dreary and listless. To me, Fortitude was a huge step up, as that is where they fully committed to the streamlined sound, whereas Magma always felt like an awkward bridge between two sounds.

[@Tritoness]

Very good review, you make very good points and i actually share a lot of what you’re saying. I’ve been late to the party, discovered them in 2017 and i’m still in awe of how talented these guys are, especially the live stuff is where they completely blew me away. I think it was Silvera that i heard first, and instantly as a non-metalhead, i felt they did it differently, i could totally feel it. I then with the years kept on going back in their catalogue and it’s the early heavier stuff that did it for me. Terra incognita to me as a debut album, is absolutely incredible. Heavy riffs, great production. 9/10 The Link, and this is where i totally agree with you, the flow is great, but the production or mastering hasn’t been done with care it seems. Bass kick doesn’t hit, sounds really weird, too tribal-y maybe and just overall flat. But these songs live man, probably one of, if not their best. If this had TWOAF production, it’s a 8,5/10, now i’d give it a 7,5/10 From Mars to Sirius, weirdly enough, apart from 3-4 tracks like the heaviest matter, In The Wilderness and From Mars + To sirius, there are too many tracks that don’t do it for me, and actually, even though still a beautiful album, might be my least favourite… 7/10 The Way of All Flesh, what started out with the one i liked the least, even though that was my opinion after only hearing 10 songs or so, has now probably become my favourite album. These songs need time and many listens before you’ll keep playing them. Those are most of the time, also the ones that will keep on being good for a longer time than the ones where you you get the instant pleasure. Great album, 1-2 songs like All the tears and Esoteric surgery that i would skip, the rest is gold. 9,5/10 L’enfant sauvage, again, i totally agree with what you’re saying, first 3 tracks, maybe 4 totally kickass, especially live, but after that, it’s indeed less creative. Production is on par with TWOAF, incredibly well done. 7,5/10 Magma, i dig it, it’s different. Do i love it, not really. Still great tracks on this one and gave them a little more recognition or more radio plays, and fair play to them. 7,5/10. Fortitude, this is where i still after almost 2 years don’t know how to feel about. First half is great, middle meh and last 2 are great as well. Born for one thing, new found (the ending on this one is some of their best stuff actually) and the trails are the standout tracks on this one. Vocals good have been louder in this one though. 7/10 I cross my fingers that the next one will be more of their older stuff. I heard in an interview it could actually really go in that direction, which is super exciting. I can’t wait for more, probably 2024-2025. Let’s give them time 😎

The only album by them that I never understood the hype was The Link. The rest of their discography is almost perfect for me. My personal ranking is: 1.

I have to disagree with you opinion on the Link. Yes not as good as FMTS, but very very good . Morbid Angel worship to spare. My second favorite Gojira album. Third being TWOAF. 1. From Mars To Sirius(Perfect) 2. The Link (Almost Perfect) 3. The Way Of All Flesh (Excellent but a bit of a mixed bag) 4. Terra Incognito (Brutal, heavy, but there’s something missing) 5. Magma (meh) 6. L’Enfant Sauvage (eh) 7. Fortitude(Disappointing)

[@Tritoness]

Exactly, The Link with TWOAF production would be in my top 3.

[@Nicolas1909_]

7. Fortitude Bland and commercial sounding. Was an immense disappointment for me upon release. I hope they don’t continue this direction. Also WTF is this Alt Metal on “The Chant” and “Hold On”? Complete cheesiness. - Fav: Grind 6. The Link A weird mix between Technical Death Metal and some more mainstream elements. The songs are fine on their own, yet overall this album is too samey. Plus way too many interludes. - Fav: Remembrance 5. Magma Also in the same commercial vein as Fortitude but with more atmosphere to it and vastly superior production. Again the two instrumentals are a waste of time. The band called this their “Black Album”. I hope they don’t continue the direction of Metallica. - Fav: Magma 4. The Way of all Flesh Probably their heaviest record along with the debut. The middle drags a little. Still the last five tracks are among their best material. - Fav: The Art of Dying 3. Terra Incognita An underrated debut. It is closest to actual Death Metal than everything else they did. I also adore the guitar tone and how relentless it is. Morbid Angel meets Pantera meets Meshuggah meets experimentation. Again most interludes are useless here except the bass solo. - Fav: In the Forest 2. From Mars to Sirius Rightful classic which has its drawbacks. Normally I like raw production but I feel like this doesn’t fit the album here. The first album by them I ever listened and my gateway to extreme metal. It shrank a little in recent years. - Fav: (From Mars) To Sirius 1. L’Enfant Sauvage Perfect mix of Gojira heaviness and groove with the more mainstream elements of latter day Gojira (without the cheese). I feel like this has also the best atmosphere in their catalogue. - Fav: Mouth of Kala
