Going For Gojira

[Ozzloaf]

So... I'm a huge Gojira fan but I just found out that IF was actually the headliner of their US tour NOT Gojira. I'm a bit disappointed... I'd like to get more familiar with IF's music before I see them live. I've heard that their earlier stuff is pretty good but their new stuff is sort of shitty. What album would you recommend?

[Clay-Man]

Colony, Clayman, Jester Race, Whoracle.

That's my recomendation in order.

 

[Jester-Race]

^ Jester Race/ Black Ash Inheritance, Whoracle, Colony, Clayman

fix'd

oh and by the way, don't bother with any of their other cds if you like music that makes your ears happy.

 

[zerkz]

Reroute and Come Clarity arent too bad, but ASOP and STYE are shit.

 

[Veenox]

Don't forget the Subterranean EP.

 

[Clay-Man]

Reroute and Come Clarity arent too bad, but ASOP and STYE are shit.

Funny because in the original version I was gonna say "Reroute and Come Clarity are good new in flames albums.

 

[metalkicksass]

Anything pre Clayman is decent.

 

[DE4life]

Jester Race through to Reroute is alright... STYE onwards is fairly weak, though not as bad as some would have you believe. If you were going to go for an album of each In Flames "era" I'd suggest TJR, Clayman and Come Clarity.

 

[....Clarity........]

jester race,whoreacle,colony,clayman,reroute to remain,soundtrack to your escape,come clarity,a sense of purpose.hahaha fuck off haters

 

[waif]

Obey me in this!

The Jester Race
Clayman
Lunar Strain (get the version that includes Subterranean)
Whoracle
Colony
If you don't like their new stuff then I won't recommend the last two, and R2R and STYE are just shitty.

 

[Veenox]

^Don't listen to him, get Reroute To Remain.

 

[metalkicksass]

/\

Don't listen to this idiot; I'm pretty sure that you dislike nu metal.

 

[Ozzloaf]

I have a feeling they're only going to play this nu metal shit huh?
Well, maybe while they're on I can go back and try to meet Gojira or something.

 

[Veenox]

Reroute ain't fuckin' nu metal.

 

[metalkicksass]

Reroute ain't fuckin' nu metal.

Oh sorry, I should have known; alternative metal ofcourse.

 

[Necrö]

no, it's not

 

[metalkicksass]

no, it's not

If it's not nu metal, alternative metal... Then what the hell is it?


...Please don't say melodic death metal.

 

[waif]

It's definitely not melodic death metal, but it's not really nu-metal. It's alt metal.
And if anyone says it transcends genre I'm going to fall out of my chair laughing.

 

[DE4life]

why can't it just be heavy metal? There's so many sub-genres these days that it's pointless to even try and group bands into them.

If the guy is going to see N'Flamez live and wants to know what to expect, there's no point him listening to lunar strain or subterranean as they play nothing off either album and neither of those albums even feature the proper In Flames lineup.

The Medley from TJR has been in every show, a few get played off Clayman and loads get played off Come Clarity, so those 3 albums should suffice.

Took the words right out of my...keyboard. It's just a straight metal release. Nothing more, nothing less.
