I've recently gotten into Gojira- any suggestions on albums to pick up? (I have none at the moment, but will be making a run to the music store in the next few weeks.)
-Metal
Sorry for the exceptionally slow response!
I don't think you can really go wrong with any of Gojira's releases,
From Mars to Sirius should be widely available and
The Link was just re-released so it should be too, the same goes for their DVD
The Link Alive (an amazing performance, but it only features material from the first two albums).
I believe their site should have samples from each album, but in short:
Terra Incognita is a great album, but it's fairly close to standard death metal in terms of style/sound.
They drifted away from the standard death metal influence on
The Link (I'm not sure how to describe it, progressive thrash perhaps?), it's not quite as heavy as Terra Incognita or From Mars to Sirius but it's a killer album all the same.
I think
From Mars to Sirius is pretty easily their best album so far, I really like the sound they've developed and I don't think I can recommend it highly enough. It's easily one of my all-time favorite albums.
If I missed the boat and you've already grabbed an album of theirs, what did you think of it?
