Backbone is such a ridiculous song. It lays down crushing riff after riff, sounds like it's finally winding down, and then unleashes the sickest riff yet. Insanely good song, album, band.
I'm a new fan and an old metalhead at 61. My sons got me hooked on this band. I find their music is probably the best I've heard in many years. Not keen on the new pop music, but this is complex, and best of all heavy and melodic all at the same time. Brilliant musicians (especially Super Mario). They should win every award but people in the industry are so short sighted. This band and the whole genre of black metal is life changing for me. I am enjoying whole albums again.
right with ya. only heard of Gojira about 6 months ago. realized i had youtube prem. and therefore a music streaming service. getting right into them. amazed thus far.

These guys were on my "heard of them but never heard them" list. Then I saw my crazy aunt on Facebook having a meltdown about them being satanic and decided to check them out. I wish i had checked them out sooner because this is great stuff
I've known about their existence for about 10 years, i had only listened to 2 songs from them previously and i was like "ok this is good, but i'm not interested". But i watched the Olympic Games performance and i was blown away so i decided to listen to a full album. I picked L'Enfant Sauvage and holy fuck i love it! It's so raw and heavy, like metal in its purest and authentic form.
Flying whales randomly played on Spotify for me and holy hell was that was an amazing introduction to this band. I’ve been listening to them more and more slowly since then and they’re just so damn good.
@@re-no6650 Thanks bro. We just try to be as transparent and passionate ass possible with our feelings. That is well captured when we go to see the bands we love.
@@ropestraightener9482 That's called growing up, people change. maybe with some time you guys will learn to play actually decent instead of that pseudo edgy garbage you have online.
I can’t WAIT to see GOJIRA and KoRn!!! I’ve seen KoRn 6 times now and never seen Gojira! The mighty Gojira have been a favorite of mine now for 9 years!
@@arthurdaffos1490 oh my gosh it was incredible. They opened with Ocean Planet oddly enough. Joe sounded fantastic throughout the set. Mastodon were also pretty good.
I need to catch them live as well. I done the same, I've not gave it a chance but it's hitting me just right. Going to listen to the other albums and catch them live.
From The Sky is probably my favorite song by Gojira, I'm pretty confident in that. The riffs, the vocals, the transitions throughout the song, the fucking pummeling drums. It is Gojira at their best.
Somekind of perfection It'll always be their best album. The songs, the way they play especially Mario, the sound, the lyrics...when it came out it was mindblowing
Probably their best? Somewhere between this and Way of All Flesh for sure! :) I'll never forget first hearing this opening song; I was 17/18 and my x, who had amazing taste in music, showed me Ocean Planet. I'd never heard anything quite like it, and I was forever hooked!
J'ai beau écouté les autres albums je reviens 10 fois à celui-ci c'est le meilleur du groupe pour moi, j'adore l'ambiance sombre et l'homogénéité des chansons !!!!
Excellent record. The flying whales riff is the heaviest and catchiest one I've heard in decades. For those who are not aware of this : they posted some years ago a live performance of Global Warming at their studio (search Gojira Global Warming silver cord studio). As a father, I end up in tears every time with the sentence "We'll see our children growing"...
This is definitely their best album. Easily out of their other albums. Every song on this album is a killer, even an instrumental Unicorn is good! Always Gojira's No.1 album for me!🤟🔥
I'm over here because I saw Gojira opening for the Paris Olympics (with headless Marie Antoinette in attendance) and thought to myself "I like the cut of their jib. Where else can I hear stuff from them?"
Magma bad lol The way of all Flesh and From Mars to Sirius are their best work IMO, I’m a death core death metal guy and my favorites are backbone Vacuity and Esoteric surgery, couldn’t recommend it enough.
Their two most recent albums Fortitude and Magma have songs that are similar to the one performed at the opening ceremony, albums before them, like this one here, sound slightly different, I for one love them all.
Thankyou for this upload. I do not know why this album along with 'The Way of All Flesh' is not included in the YT music catalogue! This is one of the best Gojira records 🤘
I bought this album as soon as it came out. After 18 years it still remains one of my favourite listens. And unfortunately we are getting closer and closer in reality to the themes dealt with on the album. Great Gojira for this masterpiece ✨🎶🪐🐋🪐🎶✨
Superbe album ! Je préfère peut-être les compo de TWOAF mais le son de celui-ci est incroyable, leur meilleur à ce jour 🤘 et mention spéciale pour l'illustration ! 🔥🔥🔥
@@Tritoness4th? Please elaborate. Personally this is the culmination of the first 2 albums. This is the peak, the epitome of progression that this band has, had. It's set the standard for many bands that came after and for the band itself. They chased this album until they decided to go a different direction beginning with magma. It's influence and significance can only be followed by the way of all flesh. Even so it's light is pale in comparison to the impact of this album on metal.
@@godvandamme9921 for me the tone of the guitar is too mushy, the production as well isn’t as tight as the 2 that come after. This album contains some of the best tracks they’re put out. Backbone, Flying Whales, The heaviest, and one of my top 10 tracks by them To sirius. I love the album, but i like the tighter production, mixing and overall tracks on Terra, Twoaf and L’enfant a bit better.
paid $28 for this album back in late 05 having no clue who Gojira was. would just buy whatever was new in our record store. the cover & overall album theme caught my eye, reading over the song titles on the back. was a big metal & IDM collector at the time. needless to say this album not only became an instant classic to me. but was life altering art.
I'm here because I over-listened to all of Isis's albums. Gojira is awesome! For anybody going the other direction and needing something with similar progressive, forlorne metal soundscapes, I recommend trying Isis.
Commercial during music sucks! Dear RUclips please make music great not a soap commercial! Great band! How about just one commercial per video! In the beginning, not in the middle or ever song! If I want that I would turn on the am radio!
@@avalanche472 might do that ! Vinyl or my iPod! Just wish RUclips would not interrupt during the listening. Before or after not during the listening!🤘
Thanks for this. But can someone explain why From Mars To Sirius isnt on RUclips Music? Im kinda upset that it isnt and im wondering if anyone else has similar issues
From Mars to Sirius and some of it's songs are perfectly fitting situations where peace is not an option because it's a goddamn soundtrack to ultraviolence with intension to clean the earth or something.
Backbone is such a ridiculous song. It lays down crushing riff after riff, sounds like it's finally winding down, and then unleashes the sickest riff yet. Insanely good song, album, band.
Their best for me, all killer no filler. Their first 3 songs and The Heaviest.... uff crushing.

Gojira make Progressive Death not Black. But they are brilliant!
@@thecount1001how do you realize you had RUclips premium if you have to buy it

They're about the farthest from satanic you can probably get. Environmentalists. Big time......
Absolute classic. A record that truely changed my vision of metal music.
listenable record
definately paved my way.
Metalcore?
It's very progressive, experimental, and atmospheric. Spiritual, even.
Yeah like Pantera once

I discovered these guys like... 4 years ago. I said the SAME thing as you!! awesome group!
same, I feel you
I would kill for a hoodie in that color with the picture on the back.
reported to proper authorities
@@cwill1337 He got a point, that album cover is sick
This Friday i go to the concert in Argentina with Mastodon. I am very excited.
You guys are the one of the best most alive fans down there... Its very good to see the appreciations for live music South American fans have.
@@re-no6650 Thanks bro. We just try to be as transparent and passionate ass possible with our feelings. That is well captured when we go to see the bands we love.
Sick ass your dude
I bet it was a great show.
I've not seen Gjora but I did see Mastodon on the Leviathan tour in a strip club in ATL.
If you like hard heavy rock and roll you will love it
I really appreciate you going back and reuploading a full album including backbone, much love.
Who is that on ur PFP? They look familiar
Maynard or that bald guy in pantera or something?
@lambsauce5312 lmao its Maynard from the 93' reading festival Sober video
@@lambsauce5312”bald guy in Pantera” bro first off that looks nothing like him and if you’re a metal head you should know his name
Why have I not listened to this band before? This album is a complete banger!!!!
Never too late for a good ride eh
Where have you been?!????
Same here. This album just appeared in my algo. Pure gold on first listen. I can only imagine how good its gonna get.
spoiler, they only got worse unfortunately. went from interesting records like this, to generic radio hard rock
@@ropestraightener9482 That's called growing up, people change. maybe with some time you guys will learn to play actually decent instead of that pseudo edgy garbage you have online.
"Backbone", in my personal opinion, is one of the best metal track EVER.
the end riff is super cool
It's a ripper
Man, that final part from "In The Wilderness"... damn! So good
I can’t WAIT to see GOJIRA and KoRn!!! I’ve seen KoRn 6 times now and never seen Gojira! The mighty Gojira have been a favorite of mine now for 9 years!
This was maybe my fist death metal album i ever heard, i remember hearing flying whales and being absolutely mindblown
The melodic outro of Ocean Planet always makes me tear up.
Ocean Planet is hell of a banger!
Seeing this live back in the day is one of my happiest memories.
One of the greatest albums ever made. Jamming to it since March. Seeing Gojira live next week, I can’t wait.
You won't be disappointed 😊
@@363anunnaki I know I won’t, been waiting since January.
@@MetalGildartshow did the concert go?
@@arthurdaffos1490 oh my gosh it was incredible. They opened with Ocean Planet oddly enough. Joe sounded fantastic throughout the set. Mastodon were also pretty good.
Went to a show to see Mastodon last weekend and stayed for Gojira. Have been listening to them nonstop since. Was definitely sleeping on these guys.
Both bands rule in my opinion ❤
Did you have to do an all nighter?
How was lorna shore? Lol
Sounds uncomfortable.
I need to catch them live as well. I done the same, I've not gave it a chance but it's hitting me just right. Going to listen to the other albums and catch them live.
incredible band! wating for you in Argentina!!!! bass drum sound is terrific!!!!! 🙌🏼
From The Sky is probably my favorite song by Gojira, I'm pretty confident in that. The riffs, the vocals, the transitions throughout the song, the fucking pummeling drums. It is Gojira at their best.
Agreed - If you don't immediately start headbanging when From The Sky comes on, you should get a brain MRI
vocalist put all of his anger in that song
I KNOW THE WORDS
BUT NOW, I FEEL IT INSIDE
Forever a classic. Masterpiece
this band sucks
hehe😂
Whenever I improvise on guitar or bass I always find myself playing the melody of From Mars. It's so good.
This is so far my best metal album.
Nothing beats out the moment I discover superb albums like this!
whale.
Somekind of perfection
It'll always be their best album.
The songs, the way they play especially Mario, the sound, the lyrics...when it came out it was mindblowing
Un grupo extraordinario en sus letras, ritmos y sonidos.
Merol!!
Its clear many people in this comment section dont understand the point of a concept album. Prog concept albums are meant to be weird
53:29 To this day, I have never heard a song slap on harder than that.
thanks Gojira. another mind f$#& of an album. your composition is above the stars!
Probably their best? Somewhere between this and Way of All Flesh for sure! :) I'll never forget first hearing this opening song; I was 17/18 and my x, who had amazing taste in music, showed me Ocean Planet. I'd never heard anything quite like it, and I was forever hooked!

Enfin un groupe français qui cartonne à l'international. Ça fait plaisir et c'est mérité. Go! Jira.
bah y avait bien Lex Talionis à l'époque. Y a quand france qu on en parlait pas. Cet album de Gojria est excellent.
Ça dépend ce qu'on appelle cartonner, mais effectivement Gojira crève le plafond. Espérons que ça profite enfin à nos aux autres groupes ! 🤘
Thank youuu 🙏🏾👌🏾🤟🏾
Metal Gods!!
IIIIII SAAAAAAAAW
IIIIIIII SAAAAAAAAAW MONSTEEEERS
Epic Album by one of the most underrated bands. And live they are just as good as it sounds on the album!
The sudden transition from Unicorn to Where Dragons Dwell always sends chills down my spine! (no pun intened)
Saw them only one time, it was the year and moment of this release. They sounded BETTER on stage than on the album. I was shocked.
I'm over here because I saw Gojira opening for the Paris Olympics (with headless Marie Antoinette in attendance) and thought to myself "I like the cut of their jib. Where else can I hear stuff from them?"
