The reason Adoration for None doesn't sound like Joe is because it's not. Randy Blythe from Lamb of God does some guest vocals on the track. He was back then, and still is, a massive fan of the band and supported them a lot in the earlier years.
Wow i've been listening to Gojira for years but never noticed lmao. I don't listen to the vocals too much and also never loved Adoration too much. But when Drew pointed it out i was like "hmm that sounds exactly like Randy!"
@@DrewFortune97 Randy Blythe has such a distinctive voice that it's instantly recognizable for me, the cool thing about watching this reaction is it feels like I'm listening to this album for the first time again and I'm hearing details I never noticed before. That's the beauty of reaction videos, the fans live vicariously through you.
@@DrewFortune97 the final track "The Way Of All Flesh" is a very underrated Gojira song for me, it's very brutal yet hypnotic. You should check out the live version from "The Garorock Festival 2009", it's an incredible performance of "The Way Of All Flesh".
The ending of the way of all flesh (the single track) is the most beautiful sounding ending to a song for me, even outside of metal, with the scream, clean vocals and throat singing all at the same time, it sounds great
I used to think TWOAF was the best but I’ve grown to appreciate LS the most. It’s a gorgeous and tragic album full of passion, melody, and crushing riffs.
Greatest Gojira album IMO of all time. It reminds me of Meshuggah but with 6 string guitar, less aggression and more vibe and creativity tbh. Awesome tracks from an awesome band.
I think this may be their best album, but that could be primarily based simply on how amazing "The Art of Dying" is. As to your question, I think the intro just barely surpasses the outro of that song. Is there another intro that pumps you up for a song better than this? I can't think of one.
I got a little offended with that one lmao The lyrics are what adds a lot to that song for me. THE BUILDINGS OF OUR FATHERS, ARE CRUMBLING IN DARK VIBRATIONS.
YESSSSSSS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME LETS GOOOOOO Also I consider this one to be the best but honestly it could end up being interchangeable with From Mars to Sirius. Both are 10/10 for me
I remember discovering this album back in 2008, and at that time the production and composition was just cutting edge. Was blown away by the drumming for years after that and still am even though it's not that extreme anymore. But it really inspired my drumming in so many ways.. One of the best albums ever - and DEFINITELY the best snare sound ever
You gotta get to L’Enfant Sauvage man. The deluxe edition though! It’s so emotional and destructive in its rhythmic power. Especially tracks like Mouth of Kala and My Last Creation. There are so many sections with a fantastic groove as well. Also give TWOAF some more spins. You might warm up to it more. Vacuity is my favorite Gojira track btw.
Def one of their best. Hard to say though. All their records are great (esp. those first 5). Always good to see you do metal too, not just metalcore. Though I love both A LOT, I always like to balance my hardcore AND metal. Would def love to see you more metal like Gojira or Meshuggah, perhaps getting into Opeth? If you're what the sound at the end of Art of Dying and Esoteric Surgery I'd recommend searching for the reverse version of the ending of the song(s) on yt (or you could pop it into a audio reverser). Notice if the melody sounds familiar. It's actually an easter egg hint at the end of Art of Dying of the main tremolo picking melody in Esoteric Surgery (a track which Joe has said they'll never play, not because they can't, but it's very hard to sing while playing guitar and is a speedy track at that). That and the whole haunting vibe carried throughout this album in the background, like in the end of Oroborus and Toxic Garbage Island lends itself well to the album's theme(s). Yeah, 5/6 minutes of silence and hidden track they also did on their first album Terra Incognita, in the last song In the Forest. For this album it really fits well though, esp. with the album's theme of death and afterlife, that whole last track is one of songs I could listen to when I die, or at least that it makes me picture what it must be like, esp. with that haunting hidden track after the track itself ends abruptly like life, and the hidden track representing the passing away itself, or pass on the afterlife (who knows though, that's part of the message and mystery). As I write this, I now wonder if the silence between the track ending and the hidden track is intentional, so that for those who don't believe in an afterlife, the song just ends abruptly there before the silence. But for those who believe in an afterlife, the hidden track is there to remind you that it could be that life goes on, that this is not the end... (or is it the end, or only rebirth, restarting again). And then to put all this next to Magma's theme is very interesting. Which has a more personal discussion of death (just hear Low Lands from that album) as opposed to more philosophical, technical Way of All Fleah. Sorry for the long essay, but just some of my thoughts. Hopefully made it easy to read and not repetitive or misspelled or confusing.
The reason the last track reminded you of Amazonia was because of the throat singing Joe is doing. I believe there’s three songs he does it on. There’s a wicked live video of him doing it for this track, sounds other worldly.
0:23 - THIS album!! 10:37 - I did a remix of this song where I removed that fade out so the riffing that chugs at the end before it goes to the reversed guitar bit, so good if not faded out though!! Live, this song is not faded out and goes bloody off!
The end track the way of all flesh is what it means to be dying, the main portion of the song is how your body is preparing itself to die with the fear of being nothing setting in, the portion of silence is death, it’s cold, alone, empty, but strangely peaceful, And the hidden track at the end is your soul being transported to another dimension of being, and eventually reincarnation into something else, maybe a baby, a wilderness creature or maybe even the breeze of the ocean sea, either way your purpose is higher.
Been here since the early Gojira reactions, as a huge Gojira fan, i can understand you thinking the album was very good, but not exceptional. I have it with every Gojira album. This is probably my favourite with Terra Inc. but it’s not perfect. What won me over were the live versions, those are just so so good. If you do Gojira, you gotta check out specific live versions. They’re resuming their tour in Dublin in february, i hope you got them to tickets tho. Saw them this summer, great as always but don’t expect the Gojira energy from 20 years back. Still great show and a must-see. Cheers
The title track is my favourite song on the album, and I like it more than 'The Gift Of Guilt', of the same style. I saw them playing 'The Way Of All Flesh' on their French tour in 2009, and it was incredibly good; they all played perfectly synchronized as one musician.
Way of all Flesh is actually an okay place to start but I'd recommend going backwards from there. A lot of newer Gojira fans love their new stuff and I prefer this album and everything before. The Link is number 1 for me followed by From Mars To Sirus. Terra Incognito is also very good. Their new stuff is good too but they did take their foot off the gas slightly. Songs like Silverado are still amazing from their new catalogue.
not a patron, because money is tight. but, if you feel like taking a recommendation outside of there, id love if you put up a poll for mastadon albums. there is no wrong choice.
I can't believe you haven't done a Sybreed track yet, maybe try Bioactive or Doomsday Party, I think you'd like the vocals because they are kinda specific.
Definitely my favorite album from Gojira. The top three albums most people agree are the best are TWOAF, L'enfant sauvage, and From Mars to Sirius Edit: Btw, on 2:16 it's supposed to me A sight to behold, but spotify for some reason has it misspelled
favorite gojira album? this one, for sure. its actually my favorite album period, its the only one I've bought a physical copy. i just love this shit by the way, my interpretation of the end stretch with nothing and then something comes back on, is that this cycle of life has ended, the person died at the end of the way of all flesh, and now is being reborn again. into oroboros, the song describing the cycle itself. I think it's just genius storytelling, not only musicianship and song writing.
I don't understand the people saying they can't make this kind of music nowadays. They very well can. However, Joe, and Mario's Mom was dedicated Magma, - Softer Vocals, more 'easy' to listen to, and they just decided to stick with it. That doesn't mean they can't make this anymore.
it's a very good album...i'd say it's a little bit too long though and loses it's way a bit after Esoteric Surgery or Vacuity. The Art Of Dying is fucking banging though, 10/10 from start to finish. that said PLASTIC BAG IN THE SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
One more comment! I think this album would improve if they removed track 3 entirely. It's cool to try something different but I think bringing the electronica to the Gojira fans so early in the album was not the best move. I ALWAYS skip it even though it gets cool near the middle. No point in putting up with it when the rest of the album is awesome. The best part of this album is the end! Tracks 8 9 and 10 are ALL FIRE! And no, I don't think anyone shouldn't like that Toxic Garbage Island riff. I don't understand people that don't like that sound.

This album is my favourite! My brother always screams “plastic bag in the sea” any time we’re at the beach and he sees garbage in the water.
A man of culture
Possibly one of the best produced metal albums ever
The best
Crazy how their sound peaked 14 years ago
@@qwerty.4450 their mixing and mastering did, but musically, as a band I'd say they peaked with L'Enfant Sauvage
I was surprised when I found out it was the guitarist from machine head that mixed it.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 I know right? I thought it was gonna be some super famous mixing engineer, this is insane work
Hands down the best album of Gojira
The ending of the way of all flesh (the single track) is the most beautiful sounding ending to a song for me, even outside of metal, with the scream, clean vocals and throat singing all at the same time, it sounds great
Mario is one of the best drummers the genre has seen in years.
Great reaction as always my dude 🤘
❤️🔥🙏🏻
From Mars to Serious is the best but this one is a close second,they can't make music like this anymore but that's alright,this music is timeless
I’d argue TWOAF is the best! Both incredible though.
I used to think TWOAF was the best but I’ve grown to appreciate LS the most. It’s a gorgeous and tragic album full of passion, melody, and crushing riffs.
Vacuity goes so hard
Specially the breakdown is hard
that was the first song I ever heard from them back in 2008 and they instantly became my favorite metal band
Another sugestion: L'Enfant Sauvage. One of their biggest masterpieces by far.
A sight to behold can make me cry if I'm in the right mood.
Ong
The outro of The art of dying is such a calm after the storm moment and it makes it so beutiful.
I love this band so much
Greatest Gojira album IMO of all time. It reminds me of Meshuggah but with 6 string guitar, less aggression and more vibe and creativity tbh. Awesome tracks from an awesome band.
Wolf is one of those songs that grows on you so much that it just ends up being your favorite eventually
I think this may be their best album, but that could be primarily based simply on how amazing "The Art of Dying" is. As to your question, I think the intro just barely surpasses the outro of that song. Is there another intro that pumps you up for a song better than this? I can't think of one.
Hmmmmmmm, yeah it’s top 5 for sure. However I can’t think of a better one right now lol
@@DrewFortune97 the outro and breakdown of from the sky. Has to be the best in metal I can't be loosing it.
Play the art of dying outro backwards your welcome
Grooves, just more and more grooves, it's fantastic
Absolute masterpiece. Still holds up so well
Best Gojira record. Crazy Wolf Down The Earth didn’t do much for you, probably my favorite on TWOAF.
my fav gojira song period
I got a little offended with that one lmao
The lyrics are what adds a lot to that song for me. THE BUILDINGS OF OUR FATHERS, ARE CRUMBLING IN DARK VIBRATIONS.
@@HeavyReign12 the lyrics in that song are nuts. I love that mid tempo crushing riff from the 2nd half of that song.
YESSSSSSS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME LETS GOOOOOO
Also I consider this one to be the best but honestly it could end up being interchangeable with From Mars to Sirius. Both are 10/10 for me
This is a real good album. And Art of Dying is just one of those handful of songs I can listen to over and over again
I remember discovering this album back in 2008, and at that time the production and composition was just cutting edge. Was blown away by the drumming for years after that and still am even though it's not that extreme anymore. But it really inspired my drumming in so many ways..

Vacuity is my favorite Gojira track btw.
Yama's Messengers is easily top 3 Gojira tracks in my books, like you said the riff somehow just keeps getting better and heavier the more it goes on

Vacuity breakdown always makes me headbang to this day
The reason the last track reminded you of Amazonia was because of the throat singing Joe is doing. I believe there’s three songs he does it on. There’s a wicked live video of him doing it for this track, sounds other worldly.
Yeah he started doing the throat singing back in The Link
"Adoration for none" was featured by Randy Blythe from Lamb of God, also one of my fav. bands (until 2015 "Sturm und Drang").
Gift of guilt is my favorite outro especially live version they do also play the art of dying backwards you'll find something cool
flippin love this album

You have the power to heal yourself! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They have one of the the best evolutions as a band, each album is different and the best one in their own way!!!
This one is definetely their best...One of my all time favourites
my personal favorite Gojira album is a tough call, but I think I'll have to go with L'enfant Sauvage. even the bonus tracks were S tier.
This is the best gojira album and my favorite album in all of music

10:04 man you’re singing Raining Blood!
this one and From mars to sirius are arguably Gojira's finest moments.
In my top 5 best albums in the history of Death Metal
I can't believe you haven't done a Sybreed track yet, maybe try Bioactive or Doomsday Party, I think you'd like the vocals because they are kinda specific.
The whole time you were trying to remember the outro riff, you were doing Reign in Blood. 😂
I still, to this day, think “L’enfant Sauvage” is their best album

The Way Of All Flesh is definitely their best!
I'm a really big fan of the 1st 2 albums
This is the best gojira album.
Unpopular opinion but Magma is my favorite album. Masterpiece.
I would say the link is my favourite album by gojira, I say my fave instead of the best is cos tastes differ, and all their stuff is fire 🔥
The Link...best album

so many albums are not available on youtube, can you make them public on patreon after a while?

it's a very good album...i'd say it's a little bit too long though and loses it's way a bit after Esoteric Surgery or Vacuity.
The Art Of Dying is fucking banging though, 10/10 from start to finish.

Not first.
Was not impressed with this album upon first listen. It has since grown on me and I'd give it a 2nd next to magma
