This is an absolutely amazing album. The guitar riffs are so fucking heavy, and memorable, they are executed so perfectly that it brings a tear to the eye. The bass doesn't stay in the background as it normally would, instead here it breaks through the mold and manages to sustain the album in it's softer parts and greatly improves the organized pandemonium that is "From Mars To Sirius". The drums excel at being heavy and chaotic, while still maintaining a sense of order within the songs, and at times even becoming more melodic and even rarely militaristic. The vocals -as well as the lyrics conveyed through the vocals- manage to hold a sense of power and excellence, that really make this album pierce the vale. And on top of all of that the ambient sounds of whales that are sprinkled throughout this album (primarily on "Flying Whales") helps make this album more authentic that it already is. All in all "From Mars To Sirius" is a phenomenal work of art, a masterpiece that conveys the story of a martian seeking refuge from his war-torn planet, and travelling far across the Galaxy (all the way to Sirius) in search of a new home. Also just as a quick note, "The Heaviest Matter In The Universe" is the best Track on this album.

I love Gojira's work, from Magma to Fortitude, and I confess that this phase here is a little out of my style. Maybe it's a little complicated for me to understand. But hits like "Global Warming", which is one of my favorite Gojira songs, make me consider it. I found this to be just a good album. It's quite clear that I don't love Death Metal works, but the heavy and progressive parts here still attract me. Flying Whales breakdown is unbelieveble. Great song.

익스트림 메탈은 이해하기 어렵다는 편견을 깨 준 밴드이자 엘범 중의 하나. 귀에 잘 들어오면서도 신나고 감미롭다. 때때로 너무 달콤하고 부드러운 부분이 있는데, 이런 점이 오히려 비호감 포인트가 될 수도 있을 것 같다. 가벼운 청자이기에, 역시 3,6,7,11 번이 즐기기에 좋다.

음악과 가사 주제 모두 뛰어난 Gojira 전반기 최고의 앨범. 생물을 단순히 동식물이 아닌 이 세계를 이루고 있는 환경이라는 거시적인 관점으로 접근하여 우리 삶에 얼마나 중요한 요소이며 환경파괴가 초래할 위험에 대한 경각심을 일깨워준다. One of the best concept albums in my life.

이전작이 인류의 원시적인 면모를 뽐냈다면, 이 앨범은 인류를 넘어 우주를 포함한 대자연을 멋지게 그려낸다. 그러면서도 전달할 메세지를 잃지 않으니 설득력은 더해진다.

výborné gitary, dobré riffy a tvrdý zvuk, mixnutý death/groove/prog. metal

Thoroughly enjoyable Prog DM album from France! I love how their song progresses; It seems like it follows a form but then it breaks your anticipation and presents a totally unexpected progression. Lyrical content? These guys sing about whales, space, the environment and stuff in the most Prog-Deathy way ever. Great stuff!
