Gojira

[p0ke]

another new one:



I think I like, but I must give it another listen...

Pretty decent, but not quite up to par with the previous song IMO. But yeah, same, gotta give it some more spins and see if it improves...

I love lip harp and the intro of the track is kickin but then once that's over it lost me pretty quick

 

[sakeido]

boing boing boing boing boing boing boing boing boing boing boing boing *save the rainforest riffs* boing boing boing boing boing

I like it

not as much as Born for One Thing or Another World, but this is easily the best rock song of the last 10 years

their sepultura influence is really bleeding through with the jaw harp

 

[Ataraxia2320]

Gojira go boingo boingo!

Left me kind of cold listening through laptop speakers but after putting my good cans or speakers on it hit different.

The opening riff itself made me think of a mirrored “Roots” ala Chaos AD.

I love Gojira, but don't like this tune. It must be the jew harp going boing boing

I was thinking more like Ratamahatta or Attitude from Roots. Has the indigenous instrument bit at the beginning then turns into chugga chugg. They never hide their Sepultura or Morbid Angel influences, and personally I love that.

Listen to it some more times...

I really like the sound / feel. But it's is just missing some great hooks or something.
It sounds to me like a really good idea that was never really finished or something

I’m a fan of the band. The last album def was my least favorite.

The new tracks released so far all sound really recycled. They all sound like other songs of theirs pieced together.

What is this album 6 or 7 ? I get that it’s hard to keep it fresh. But so far this
Album is a pass.

Cool tune, i just find it kinda ironic singing about Amazonia/Amazon forrest but showing brand new shining instrument made from the finest woods

Same here, I like the boing boing part as well, and it's grooving along pretty nicely with the little double kick bursts and all that, but the chorus and C-part or whatever you wanna call it didn't really do anything for me. It's not bad at any point, but it just felt like it was building up to something awesome and didn't really deliver. Maybe it's building up to the next song though?

Kind of like some metal bands ripping on technology (Nevermore, etc.) despite all that goes into the production of metal albums. No big deal, just funny.

 

[TedEH]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a similar thought when I first saw the video.

 

[Flappydoodle]

‘Meh’

Last couple songs honestly pretty disappointing

and the Youtube mix sounds terrible to me. Can barely hear the vocals. Nowhere near as ‘clean’ as Gojira usually is

haha exactly this

 

[Glades]

I love Gojira for the FICTIONAL themes, like Flying Whales and Climate Change.

 

[MetalheadMC]

I love Gojira, but Magma fell flat real quick for me sadly. Another world is my favorite single so far. Hopefully the record exceeds the last, but if it doesn't, I'll just go back to the older albums.

I haven't done the research on their instruments. But sustainable forestry is totally doable.

And at least they're using their platform to promote environmental awareness. Not a bad use of resources.

Most wood is a natural easily sustainable environmentally friendly resource. Why is that a bad thing? The power needed and pollution produced by everyone listening to the new song would be infinitely worse compared to a few new instruments if we are going to go down that road.

I noticed this on a Within Temptation official video. The mix was awful but a fan uploaded the song a few months later and it sounded way better. They must be exporting the audio in a lower quality for YouTube without realising.
