Fortitude Review
July 21, 2024
A masterpiece for me. Less traditional, but still heavy. The strength of this album lies in its differentiation from Gojira's other works. It's new for a lot of fans but in my opinion, one of the best albums of the band along with Magma. "Amazonia" reminds a lot of Sepultura's early days (1994-1996). "Another World", "Hold On" and "New Found" keep the energy up with a addicting breakdowns and riffs alongside a gorgeous and yet strong Joe's voice. "The Sphinx" is killer too.
"The Chant" is a nice surprise. A hymn. Iconic for sure. The Joe's scream in the "lift you up" part give me chills every time. Good solo too. A classic, even if some traditional fans disagree with the style approached. Shout out to Gojira here. Amazing record.

현재 세계에서 가장 핫한 메탈밴드는 무엇일까? 나이트위시? 고스트? 사바톤? 램오브갓? 모두 훌륭하고 인기있는 밴드들이지만, '현 시점'이라는 관점에서 본다면 정답은 단연 Gojira이다. Gojira는 밴드 역사상 최초로 지난 주 빌보드 Top Album Sales Chart 1위를 거머쥐었다. 빌보드 Top Album Sales Cha... Read More

(몇 번 더 들어보고 쓰는 후기)
전작 Magma에 이어 엄청난 앨범인 Gojira의 7집. 4년만에 선보인 첫 싱글이었던 Another World는 빙산의 일각이었다는 느낌이 들만큼 내용물이 알차다고 할 수 있다.
몇몇 트랙들을 보자면 우선 첫 번째 곡인 Born for One Thing은 이 앨범에서 최고의 곡이라고 생각한... Read More

역설적이게도 앨범타이틀과 동명인 곡을 제외하고는 모두 무난하게 들어줄만한 Gojira의 6집.
싱글로 발표한 Silvera와 Stranded는 Gojira의 건재함을 나타내기 충분했고 이 외에도 The Shooting Star, The Cell, Only Pain 등 Duplantier 형제들의 뛰어난 작사(Joe가 담당하지만)/작곡 능력이 돋보이는 곡들이 많... Read More
Terra incognita Review (2001)

A great debut. Less complex than the following albums, but with a great prog style nonetheless. The riffs come out easily. Unlike "The Link" and others, "Terra Incognita" shows a band committed to a dynamic closer to the sound of other good bands of the genre, but still with a great creative line. The breakdowns and headbanging parts are absolutely numerous. In Gojira's other w... Read More
Magma Review (2016)

The best Gojira's album until 2016. More progressive and lilting, probably because of the Duplantier brother's moment at the time: their mother passed away months later. For me, the second best album in their discography, behind "Fortitude". Joe's feel in this work is incredible. I've always wondered how he would sounds like this, and it's really good. However, Magma, despite b... Read More
