Why Gojira rules: - Repetition with enough variation to stay interesting (but also infectious) - The tapping looks easy, but being that precise for that long is hard. Also, difficulty be damned, it's just a cool riff - Bass is simple, but actually keeping your brain in on the basics of the groove - Drumming, as noted, is amazing. Mario is god. - Gojira have awesome lyrics worthy of studying in poetry classes, like Cynic. I just love that kind of lyricism - Tapping and singing is HARD (I feel like the emotion Joe is showing is just how freakin' hard it is) - Whales are on the album cover. 'Nuff said
Well... probably the best vocalist right now in metal is Floor Jansen. Devin Townsend is top as well though. There are a lot of great vocalists who kept improving over the years... MJK, Corey, Jari from Wintersun - just to name a few. Should totally check Jinjer too, the lead singer is also a beast and the band is insanely good.

Agreed on all points
Nice breakdown Thompson... right on all points.
Awesome analysis
I love how Mario pounds the crap out of the drums.
Nice work on the reaction. Subscription granted :)
Thank you so much!
Bonne réaction. Interesting thoughts.
