Listened to Gojira in my car again today. My mains problems are that the vocalist REALLY reminds me of the guy from Fear Factory, which I hate. And the production makes my ears bleed. It honestly gives me a headache it is so jarring. They could be a lot better, and their are moments of awesomeness, but the aforementioned stuff kills it.
going to beat you with a dish rag ... its no more jarring than Obzen. as far as the vocals, no idea, neevr paid attention to FF. Gojira is a bit more "psychadelic" than the straight forward pummeling of ObZen.
I also have a feeling you like the 'coreish vocals of Messugah which are a bit of a turnoff for me.
Actually, the barking vox of Meshuggah are a turn off for me as well but I can see past it on this release since the music is sick. Gojira's music though has -core influences in it...Meshuggah no.
