Favorite Tracks

If I have to to choose one three tracks from each album it would be:

From Mars To Sirius:

This album is great, has beautiful lyrics, I have so much to say about it! Granted I listened to it without reading the lyrics, so my only impression of this album is the riffs.

• Ocean Planet: The intro, and especially the part at 3:50, “Whyyyyy do they call me there!!!!” I teared at that part. I kinda feel like that whale being stuck alone.

• Backbone.

• Unicron: Because it has really beautiful whale songs, and just a good break for what is to come.

L’Enfant Sauvage:

• Explosia: Really shines at 0:35 and and 4:05, especially the ending of the song, with these beautiful, I think they’re called gallops. Anyway they’re cool and I like them.
• The Axe
• Planned Obsolescence
• Pain Is a Master
• Born In Winter

The Way Of All Flesh

This is the album that I a most familiar with.

• Oroborus: This track, holy fuck. That haunting part at 3:08? Fucking liquid gold.
• Toxic garbage Island: Other than the bad ass name, the intro is really poweful. Part at 0:52 <3. Also “PLAAAASTIC BAG IN THE SEEAAAAAAA”
• A sight to behold: Now this is a track that deserves a place in the hall of lyrics. I mean:

The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm walking standing on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated
I have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point
What's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore

The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm walking standing on this land
...
The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated

That right there, is what I will take to my grave.

This track is truley, a sight to behold.

• Yama’s messengers: “I’m scared to death when I see them arrive!” Part at 0:46, 2:14. “I’ve killed so many, I don’t want to count”!
• The silver cord: Always love some instrumental metal that I can play loudly and no one would complain.
• Adoration for none: Baddass title, amazing vocal style at the start. The part from 0:54 all the way for like a minute, is fucking, wow. Also:

Nature is my only master
I will bow to no one
...
Crave for freedom build my own life
Adoration for none

Words of. Fucking. Power.

And 2:08!

This track is just so differenet from the rest of the album, I adore it so much.

• The art of dying: :) sick ass drum work. Really beautiful opening riffs, 4:12?

*Riff goes crazy*
Take no possessions, I would rather travel light

Then “AAAAAAART OF DYING!!!!!!”

• Esoteric surgery: “You have the power to heal yourself.”
• Gojira - Vacuity
• Gojira - Wolf down the earth
• The way of all flesh: Is this what dying feels like?

So in search of something more similar to Gojira’s early albums, I turned to the bands that they take their inspiration from: Mastodon and Meshuggah.

But more on that later, as I still have “Magma” and “Fortitude” and I’m not that eager to do them. Don’t get me wrong, “Stranded” was one my favorite earlier metal tracks, and maybe it still is. Idk.

I also need to learn about song structure and general metal terminology, “riff” and “part” are absolutely not a proper way to describe songs.
