TERRA INCOGNITA

Thanks

muy buen disco, y llego en buenas condiciones......

This is definitely the place to buy vinyl online, the packaging is always perfect and all of our vinyls have arrived undamaged and in perfect condition.

Gojira's Terra Incognita is a great album. I love it because it is so different from any other metal album that I have listened to. The songs have a unique range, by this I mean they can start out heavy and totally metal, but all the sudden go to a more calm, brooding (but still metal) sound. And better yet, they never lose their musicality, all the songs can get stuck in your head, they don't have a single song on this album that sounds just like the one before it. There's something for almost all metal fans: death metal blast beats, growling vocals, screaming vocals, kind of normal vocals, plenty of galloping guitar triplets, clean/distorted guitar, metal lyrics that sometimes don't make any sense, and wicked double bass pedal. If you are one of those people that need to place bands under specific categories, there really is no way to categorize this band, you just have to listen to them to know if you like them. A lot of people say they are a band you either love or hate, so it's best to listen to the songs from the album on Youtube before buying. Gojira is definitely one of the best things to come out of France in a long time (along with Gorod, but that's a very different band). So check them out!

Let's start by saying this: I don't like to dissect cd's track by track. I don't purchase cds for individual songs. I look for the overall flow of the album. OK, now that that's out of the way, this is what you need to know about this disc. It rocks!!! Terra Incognita is a wonderful precursor to what is to come from Gojira. Chock full of wicked riffs. Speedy at times and sensational moshing. The intuitive interplay between the brothers Duplantier (percussion and guitar) is fantastic. And what's this I hear? Bass lines? And damn good ones at that.I read reviews of this band that question why they would add certain slower pieces to their music. Why question it? The percussion based offerings (mallet stuFFz) are just fine and fit into the overall sound of the disc. Stop trying to pigeonhole these guys!!! They are creative and a big step above lesser bands who only try to be "the heaviest band ever". This is what sets them apart. They are secure with their heaviness and not afraid to put their genius out there for everyone to hear. No matter where it may take them.

My girlfriend and I can’t stop rocking out to it

I didn't even realize that this album existed since it is an earlier album by the band. It is more on the heavy side but it still has that signature Gojira sound that I really enjoy. I'm glad that I found this and it completes my discography collection for them. If you like the Gojira sound and don't mind the more heavy side I definitely recommend picking this up!!

Great record
