A REVIEW AS RETARDED AS GOJIRA’S THE WAY OF ALL FLESH IS GOOD
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 at 10:14am by Axl Rosenberg
Do you know how to say “brutal” in French? Brutal. True story. Six years of French. Suck it, bitches.
ANYWAY, The Way of All Flesh may not be the most br00tal album of the year, but it’s certainly the most vicious. L’album le plus méchant de l’anée. Hooky but heavy, proggy but not pretentious, and French but not froggy, The Way of All Flesh instantly jumps ahead of this year’s melodic death metal pack.
Gojira refuse to succumb to clichés; at the same time, they’re not pissing on tradition. They never give the listener exactly what’s expected, but it all still feels kind of familiar, like a warm blanket, only instead of a warm blanket, it’s an awesome, awesome metal album. They don’t reinvent the wheel, but they do make the old tricks seem new again. Role playing, baby – that’s how Gojira keeps their marriage fresh. Maybe that doesn’t put them in the company of bands like Sabbath or Metallica – bands that seemed to conjure something new from thin air – but it does put them in the company of bands like Sepultura and Lamb of God. Which is pretty fuckin’ good company to keep.
(Speaking of Lamb of God, Randy Blythe makes an appearance here, on a song called “All the Tears,” which has a very Lamb of God-y feel to it. But if it owes a debt to Lamb of God – and, I s’pose, all the bands to whom Lamb of God owe a debt – then it really is the most awesome Lamb of God song that Lamb of God never wrote. And I say that with all due respect to A Life Once Lost.)
A lot Gojira’s success is owed to the fact that they so seamlessly blend a melting pot of influences. Few modern bands do elephants marching sludge-drone better than Gojira, but sometimes this elephant stops marching and just swings his massive elephant dong for a mighty cock-slap of groove or stops to take a ginormous crap in the middle of the road, resulting in – what else? – a super-awesome breakdown.
Sometimes the elephant puts on lipstick and does the robot in front of the mirror, as on “A Sight to Behold.” But it’s all good, ’cause even then, the elephant just fucking rules.
And the elephant doesn’t need everyone to know it has a massive elephant dong – not a lot of flashy guitar solos here, folks – because it’s an elephant, stupid. It knows it has a massive dong, and it knows you know it has a massive dong, so just solid musicianship here, kids.
I think I’ve taken this elephant metaphor about as far as I can. Like two paragraphs ago.
ANYWAY, there’s so many good songs here, I don’t even know what to say about all of them. I feel like I just won an MTV Video Award for Best Cool Person and I have to thank my entire posse but time’s running out and they’re starting to play Fergie which is my cue to get off the stage. “Wolf Down the Earth,” “Esoteric Surgery.” “The Art of Dying,” which is like a nine-plus minute epic and starts out all tribal and shit and then just curb stomps you because, well, ’cause fuck you, that’s why. Gotta give love to “Vacuity” and “Toxic Garbage Island” and “Oroborus,” which is the best album opener of the year. The title track. Seventeen minutes! You know you my boy. Bayonne represent.
I don’t wanna write this review anymore. I just wanna go listen to the album. So, seriously, in a nutshell: this album isn’t perfect, but it’s damn close. Everything I don’t like about it bothers me less with each successive listen, so ask me again in six months and I might think the album is perfect. Go buy it. Like, a physical copy. With money and shit.
And by the way, you know how you say “metal” in French? Métal. True story. Six years of French. Suck it, bitches.

Tremendous album. Great review, Axl!
Was it ever going to be anything less? Stunning album, if a little overlong.
You guys helped me discover this band and now I’m obsessed… Way to make almost everything else obsolete for me, sheesh!
mm i can’t really get into the album, i like From Mars to Sirius because it sounds so “blunt”, this album is too electro/techie for me
Easily one of the best albums of 2008!!! Incredible band making incredible music!!!
Solid review! I agree with you on The Way of All Flesh being darn near perfect, and love the elephant metaphors as well. Though I have to disagree with you on one little tidbit. Randy Blythe appears on ‘Adoration for None’.
On ne dit pas “anée” mais “année”
merci à vous de souligner le talent d’un groupe français
Rennes représente aussi!
Here’s why the confusion on the Randy Blythe’s track. From wikipedia:
“The track “Adoration for None” features guest vocals from Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe. The track listing is actually how it is listed below, although it previously had tracks 6 & 7 switched. The words “Adoration for None” are clearly spoken in the song that was previously listed as All the Tears, the same thing goes for “All the Tears”.”
Fantastic review Axl. Those elephant metaphors had me dyin’. I will definitely be purchasing this album, at a store, where I’ll give someone money for it and shit.
Nice to see what gets all you meatheads hard, I’ll be noting this for the future.
Sat through it after this rave review, I had homemade dip to keep me company, I would definitely call this a meathead’s best friend, you could depend on this for those insane throw-punch-maim mosh pits the meatheads crave.
So hard to take death metal seriously though, the lyrics just made me laugh at some points.
So, as music, I give it great technical skill, and zero for anything else, because that’s really what it’s about. However, as a heavy album meatheads all over will love for headbanging and mosh pits? Hell, perfect score, it succeeds with soaring, brutal, blood soaked colors there.
^
Didn’t get it, must not have clicked. Otherwise, zzzzzz you are boring.
Anyway, I don’t think enough due is given to Sepultura, having helped lay the groundwork for both black metal (just listen to their first album again) and death metal, but a hilarious review.
This skinny meathead is jizzing daily on this album
I fucking love this CD. Can’t stop listening to it. I fucking love this CD. Did I say that already? Too bad. I really fucking love this CD. FUCK YEAH CAPSLOCK
I’ve given this band a go a few times, and I just don’t get the fuss. They’re good, really nothing that special.
Guess I shouldn’t be too surprised at the review, though, as this band is the current “band to nutswing” in the metal community.
Demonic shows he isn’t that much of a douche after all. *stands, slow clap*
hands down my favorite ablum of the year
I like this record, but a few of the tracks are either really boring or really gay. Overall there are enough badass grooves to make up for the lame parts
revrant, iv seen you bash almost every artist that you comment on with some form of “meathead” remark. what is it you listen to that makes you so elite?
He’s a troll, Brian. That’s what trolls do. Why? Who knows, but in this case, after clicking his link, i’d wager that it’s b/c revrant looks like Geddy Lee took a shit and died.
yeah wayne, iv been lurking the board for some time and iv gathered as much. and yes he does look somewhere in between geddy lee and the main character who goes by the same name as the movie titled powder.
GOJIRA RULZ…Come To El Salvador…Por Favor…raul
Brian: I’ve called people meatheads, but I can’t recall using meathead more than once or twice in regard to any article, hyperbole much? Nice to see you blatantly lying though, if you actually were a lurker and not some random dickweed you’d know what I listen to, wouldn’t you?
Wayne: Yada, I’ve had plenty of great discussions on here as well as shit-tastic arguments, dissent isn’t trolling, or did you forget the basis of all that is Metal, Wayne Brady? Oh, I put the picture there so I’d get insulted with shit specifically like that, for a while I thought no one would be ballsy enough to try, good on you.
Hey, Wayne Brady! hahahahahahahaha Like the comedian! Only you put his name where my name would go!!! BRILLIANT!!!
What a non-meat head thing to do!
@Brian
He listens to Disturbed silly pants. That’s what makes him so elite.
yeah he really needs to have something else up his sleeve in order to talk as big as he does, disturbed just isnt going to cut it
Blatently lying? all iv said is from what iv seen. and are you really bashing me for not being a lurker? and why the name calling revrant, all i want to be is friends!
I honestly hated Gojira before this release. Like absolutely hated. I thought their music was boring and just completely lame. I saw them open for Lamb of God and my ex and I literally almost fell asleep.
But I must say, after being reluctant to even listen to this, I checked out the first single and the song with Randy Blythe and, well, I’m sold. So congrats Gojira, you guys did what I didn’t think was possible.
Eh, see this is the kind of mess Sammy says I get involved in, but I’d like to point out, I’m not the only one being a douche, and I in no way started it.
Brady: He is? I wasn’t aware he was funny, sort of why I chose him just then, ruined, all ruined. Using the “OHOHOH SO FUNNY” sarcasm bit, I haven’t actually had three metalhead friends of mine do that repeatedly, see, that was a lie right there.
Did you catch it? Seriously though try something that wasn’t in every teen comedy/show/pop culture for the past 15 years next time, I’ll reward you by actually laughing. Sheesh, maybe the Wayne Brady joke works after all.
jesse: yeh I listen to gojira lamb of god slayer DISTURD scks fck them im so fucking hardcore FUCK METAL YEAH I HAVE A BEARD
More or less literate wasn’t that you at some point in the past month?
Brian: Yeah, because Disturbed aren’t a metal band, where are you exactly? Russia? Oh I remember, they aren’t hardcore meathead underground metal, that’s why they aren’t metal period. That’s the opinion of most people on this site.
You said you were, yet you had no idea who I was, and I post frequently, so yeah, I’d call that lying, and I’ll try to restrain myself from calling people names in spite of themselves. =)
Dear Revrant,
The internetz is serious business!!!11!!1
That is all.
THIS ALBUM KICKS FUCKING ASS. Don’t know how else to say it. So…..
THIS ALBUM KICKS FUCKING ASS. A LOT of fucking ass.
That is all.
Thomas the Train, most of that was less than serious and full of nonsense, so, to quote a specific tea sipping owl.
No
Not rly.
dear mr. revrant
i never said said i didnt know who you were, in fact when i first began this conversation i did so under the pretense that i was aware of who you were and that i had seen a few of your ignorant remarks here and there (strike one). second i never made any mention about what genre disturbed was, all i was implying is that if your going to bash the people and bands you do i cant take you all that seriously with your remarks about disturbed (strike two). respond if you like (as i would like to give you that third strike) but with every comment you leave your only proving further to the readers of this blog and myself just how not only ignorant but pathetic you actualy are.
Don’t bother with Reverent, if the band doesn’t sell platinum, and you like them, you’re an “elitist”. Also, Disturbed suck, have always sucked, and are bullshit, lame generic mallcore metal. Reverent likes Disturbed. He has bad taste in music.
Brian: Well careful there, I daresay you shouldn’t be calling me ignorant when you can’t form a coherent sentence, just saying. Yes, again, because Disturbed are laughable “nu metal” eh? I guess you can’t have any kind of opinion if you don’t center yourself around what’s most acceptable to random people on the internet(which is true when you run a metal blog, oddly). Why does Disturbed keep coming up? I get sick of the sheepishness with this, and I don’t care to defend them any longer, you cock monglers have no issue giving Slipknot blowjobs and they’ve attained similar success and are a mainstream act that banks on their sound over experimentation, man I am tired of it.
jaime: She never could spell my name.
You’re useless, as the star of the very first argument I ever had on here proved, utterly useless. I like many acts that haven’t even achieved Gold in third world countries(where the standards are piss poor), and I already disproved your bullshit view on that months ago. You also proved definitively that you had not even heard anything Disturbed has done since their debut, and you’re so elitist you won’t even listen to the radio period. I might also point out you, on the other hand, have proven yourself numerous times to be a counter culture sheep of the highest caliber, and there is no one I have yet seen on this site who compares with you.
You may be completely incapable of forming your own opinion, and I respect every poster more than you, literally every single one, even the ones that hate my rotten guts for all the dissent, because each of them is even an iota more capable of forming opinions or reaching some kind of understanding with the other posters.
You lack that.
Now the internet is super duper cereal business.
I enjoy both Gojira and Disturbed. So…. NEENER NEENER!!!!
Dear Revrant,
Rule 14
Greetz.
First off Revrant meathead what the fuck who says that anymore. Please explain why this is for meatheads I just don’t understand your logic. The lyrics made you laugh what lyrics again I don’t understand. If you are going to bash a band or anything explain why. Most of the people I know who listen to Gojira are intelligent people who like music that is different and challenging. Most of the disturbed fans i know are idiot frat boys or meatheads.
Ha, that’ll come back to haunt you lern, people are ’super serious business’ about hating Disturbed around here, indeed Train, indeed.
Chuck: Everyone in metal uses it, much as they do nu metal, where have you been? This is for meatheads, Vince basically said so himself, it isn’t challenging music, it doesn’t make you think, it is in fact for head-banging. The lyrics are ridiculous, I mean that’s not to say some of it isn’t good, but only parts of certain songs, but one I find ridiculous is Wolf Down The Earth, I mean look them up and just piece it together, it’s pretty damned ridiculous.
That’s standard par for Death Metal though, it’s part of why I love Dethklok, Brendon makes light of that serious death-and-Armageddon crap. I don’t think we’re talking about the same Gojira then, I don’t think Death Metal is full of really intelligent people who like music that is “different and challenging”, angry? Yes, hard? “Different and challenging”, I disagree. Can’t debate you with Disturbed, mainly because I get tired of defending them, but also, being one of the top three metal bands of our generation they attract many fans of different types.
Op, Axl^, was thinking about the Guns n Roses post.
thank you for strike three and some how strike four. never did i say i revolve my opinion on anything including disturbed being “laughabel nu metal” nor did i ever stand up for slipknot in any way, shape, or form. also, i did not bring up disturbed in the arguement. all i asked was what you listened to that makes you so elite. one last thing to touch on, before you bash me for coherent sentences, learn how to spell.
props for effort, but fail overall.
thanks for playing, it was fun
Dear Revrant,
Ohhh wa ah ah ah, augh augh
Hopefully thats in a language you can understand.
Love,
John
Wow, are you a kid? I had no spelling mistakes, yet you have quite a few, and you’re telling me “learn how to spell”, really? Seriously? I don’t do the grammar Nazi crap, but don’t throw rocks in a glass house, pal.
I was referring to how everyone here orgasms over Slipknot despite them being of similar success and strategy compared to Disturbed, you brought up Disturbed(laughable*, argument*), I never said I was elite, getting tired of your lying and contradictions, I’m not your mom, stick with a story and don’t contradict yourself.
Thanks for failing utterly to even make me laugh, because that’s what I often get out of this stuff, this next guy managed that, yet you can’t? Useless.
John: No one can even quote a guttural sound from this millennium, goes to show you they know nothing of the band, let me respond though.
*blast beat scream scream fuck Jesus fuck religion scream scream mathcore guitar solo blast beat scream*
Hopefully that’s in a language you can understand.
Love,
Rev
double check your facts buddy, i didnt bring up disturbed.
again, thanks for playing
“To renew your faith in God, You must believe in your lie” If I’m not mistaken, those might be disturbed lyrics.
I didn’t read the whole argument for fear of wasting time, but can we PLEASE use reverant’s photo for the next funny photo caption contest, PPLLEEEEAASE!!!
Sorry dude, nothing personal, i just think its hilarious.
“counter culture sheep”, eh? no sir, I just enjoy good music, something perhaps you can’t wrap your mind around. I know all I need to know about Disturbed being trendy, lame ass mall core without having to sit through their entire catalog at my local Hot Topic. They are to modern metal what Motley Crue was to Metallica, Antrax, and Slayer some 20 odd years ago.
You call me counter culture sheep, but you don’t know me at all, as is evident by you continually getting my gender wrong. I’m likely one of the most opinionated motherfuckers that posts on this website, and I think that a TON of bands covered here are fucking lame as hell (Textures, The Human Abstract, Sikth, Protest the Hero to name just a few). You call me a counter culture sheep cause I like bands you don’t? Grow up.
You come off as the bully everyone hates who is deep down desperate for approval, pathetically threatening physical violence on the internet (yea, tough guy, ooo, we are certainly scared of an intellectual peon such as yourself).You don’t like music that is musical complex and varied. We get it. There is a whole lot of “anti intellectualism” in this country right now, so I’m sure you’re in good company with people who resent other people who went to college, read, and keep an open mind.
The $10 words you use to belittle some, and the threats of violence you use to intimidate others, affect no one, and you don’t not seem any the superior for it. It is apparent that you are just annoyed the genre you dig is passing you by stylistically. It’s why people still go to see Skynard or KISS live and really enjoy it, not for nostalgia but for the fact they can’t relate to the music of “kids today”.
If being elitist is not liking trendcore bands like Disturbed, fuck yea, I am elitist. You have never mentioned one fucking band that you like that the mainstream media hasn’t told you to. You disproved nothing. You are a troll who takes pleasure in interrupting any discussion to make yourself the center of it. Did daddy not hug you enough as a child?
In closing, you are universally thought of as the total shit head of this site, by viewers, posters, and I’m sure the moderators, who only tolerate you because you have the tendency to keep the post #’s up (hey, like this one!).
^^ I can call the fire department if you want Revrant, or the burn victim unit..
i vote jamie for president
“yeah he really needs to have something else up his sleeve in order to talk as big as he does, disturbed just isnt going to cut it” Wow that was hard, you said it wasn’t going to cut it, thus you are the one who brought up the argument, the other person mentioned I listened to them, you brought up the issue, just you.
Yeah John, that is, Believe was a spiritual album.
vit: That sounds pretty funny, so sure, they have my blessing – if you submit yours, or is everyone else who’s so ballsy afraid to cough it up? I wonder.
So you admit you haven’t heard anything they’ve done since, you only “know” they suck and are trendy mall core, you have good taste, my taste sucks, you’re superior…You should write retorts for McCain.
Second paragraph…Yes because we didn’t go over your tastes at length the first time we met, what is this? Memento? I was sort of hoping you were female, I can’t imagine a guy being so bitchy, my hopes have been dashed. I call you that because (again, I remember, I have a memory)you listed them months ago, and not one of them was out of line with counter-culture bullshit. You can’t like something that isn’t either a well known and accepted band of the past, or part of some faux-intellectualism counter culture shit.
I’ve never threatened physical violence in the entirety of my posting on this blog, period, not once, never, I have defended myself from a person threatening ME with physical violence, which was just once, and to the tune of “I’m pretty big, I just don’t think you’d take me out in one hit as you claim”, and that was it, I find it pathetic that you’d bank on that blabbermouth crap to try and insult me.
I listen to lots of music that’s musically complex, I like classical music, I’m just not a faux-intellectual who sports a little trendy beard, trendy counter-culture head attire, and trendy glasses, I keep an open mind to everything, you think I went and sat through Gojira of all things among all of these other bands and videos they post for any other reason? You won’t even listen to anything you’ve deemed “popular”, and you’re accusing me of being closed minded? There’s a whole lot of snobby, obnoxious closed minded elitists who are giving a bad image to people who have went to college, do read, and do have open minds, causing ignorant people to associate them with all people who may be intellectuals.
Never threatened violence, and I can’t recall ten dollars threats, I try to spin their words if they’re being clever, or I just turn their own insults back on them, the few times I’ve really just outright insulted people, and you’re basing all of my arguments on that? Grow a spine and argue something with merit. Disturbed is the music of kids today, which sometimes annoys me(not any of the crap you listed), I’m lost on where you were even going with that, I’m old mentally? What exactly were you getting at?
Being elitist means you subscribe only to a pattern of beliefs and likes that are accepted by a movement, in this case counter culture, I listen to things I may or may not like without preconditions, you refuse to, that makes you an elitist. I don’t even post on many entries, and many of my posts go unnoticed, unfortunately when someone wants to be a dick I respond, and as you are in fact a dick, we’re back to the same old song and dance.
I somehow doubt that, if they didn’t want me here, I’d be banned and gone, and I wouldn’t look back, Vince and Axl have shown they have zero tolerance for shits, they banned the racist douche back in the day among others.
John: o dawg u so ROASTED YEH
Brian: You and 42.7% of the country would be stupid enough.
yes, you are old mentally, because you seem to have a huge issue with the trends of the modern versions of this genre called metal. I won’t continue to pick on Disturbed, because you said it yourself, you’re tired of defending them, and I’m tired of pointing out why I think they’re lame.
As far as never threatening violence, from the first post you made that caught my attention:
“You are a stupid fuck, promptly break your fingers so your retardation no longer damages an already stupid, epileptic internet”
Telling a woman, Amy, to break her fingers because she disagreed about how FNM should be classified…
You have still yet to define one single band you listen to that isn’t particularly popular.Maybe you’re just too busy enjoying your Alter Bridge?
“have went to college” *Have gone to college, Have attended college…
LOL @ Disturbed being music for kids today.
Modern versions? I just don’t like most extreme metal or trendy counter culture crap, it is in fact the same reason I find the PC vs Mac ads so obnoxious, what are you on about modern versions?
I didn’t threaten her with any kind of violence, I suggest she do it herself to save my eyes from the stupidity I’m glad you didn’t quote, threatening someone with violence is just that, “ILL KICK UR ASS” go to youtube and take a whiff of the real thing.
Calling someone a stupid fuck, that would be an example of the aforementioned 10 dollar insult.
Alter Bridge, who’s new album has yet to break even Gold, which I find superior to the first, sold only 47,000 copies in the first week because it was a leap into Hard Rock, had basically no real promotion, and is pretty good instead of something akin to Creed as the first? Yes, I am enjoying it, thank you for asking.
John, really? Why even bother with one grammatical error? Are you that desperate? You think I care? Disturbed are a popular metal act, hit youtube sometime, the kids love them, my own sister of 13 loves them despite my attempts to dissuade her.
You might be the most inadvertently hillarious human being I have ever had the pleasure of heckling.
I get off on being heckled, we’re meant for each other.
Let’s move to Canada.
i want to come!!!!!
Mental note……don’t click the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” button EVER AGAIN.
sorry wayne :/
Sure, as long as our balls don’t touch, it isn’t gay somehow, don’t ask how.
I have a very simple solution here. A sociological experiment, if you will. Jaime, name one popular band that you like. Revrant, name one unpopular band that you like. Then you guys can hug and not touch balls or whatever you want to do.
God Sociology class was full of nutbags, ahh reminiscing, right?
Alright, I’m game if Jaime is, though we’ll be excluding Nine Inch Nails and Tool, naturally, did it just get harder? I think so. ;)
Sorry for the delay, wasn’t avoiding the question. I actually enjoy Metallica, though not the last two albums, (yes I think there were a few good tracks on load and let’s not examine that lest this because a Metallica thread.. yikes), the first two or three SOAD albums, (didn’t care for the last two), I dig Rammstein (though I’m not sure they’d fit, they make it onto major picture sountracks often enough and that’s my justification to include them here), I’m not really that big a NIN fan, pretty big In Flames fan (even though you could argue they are more “trendy” than “popular”) Type O Negative (platinum selling, whether you like it or not). HUGE Alice in Chains fan.
Always was a pretty big Guns and Roses fan, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, I even like Chris Cornell’s first solo album, .
I think that’s more than one. I notice you take the time to try to punk me out, but didn’t name one band there yourself, Rev. Alter Bridge DO NOT count because of their background. BTW, that wasn’t hard at all.
Ah damn, Metallica, GNR, AIC, etc, this would have been murder on you had I asked for no established acts, oh well.
I already did before and you just mocked me, as you may recall, so I didn’t bother that time.
Their background? They went from mega-platinum Creed to 47,000 selling Alter Bridge, somehow that disqualifies them?
I’ll throw the ones I like most, rather enjoyed a bunch of Ugly Kid Joe songs…Paper Lace…The Presidents of the United States of America, Fastball, God taking a while, having to flip through all my lists and determine which are technically “unpopular”, I could include Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, though due to his cover of the obvious his one album went Platinum.
Not willing to keep digging, too much music for that, those are my main choices, and I guess I don’t really like “unpopular” metal if that’s what I was supposed to list. I do have a lot on here, I just find most of it too pretentious or meatheaded to fully enjoy all the time.
How can a band be “popular” (by the definitions we’re talking about here, roughly platinum selling or mainstream acceptance) and not well established? Maybe I missed something in the rules to this exercise.
BTW, ugly kid joe’s breakthrough album, the one that got all that MTV attention, sold multi-platinum. Oh, and so did the president’s break through album (again multi platinum), for similar reasons. Hardly unpopular.
There are hundreds of artists that aren’t well established and go on to sell multi-platinum albums, you may recall The Sickness back in the day, Disturbed were nobodies when I first became a fan in the late 90s, then from relative obscurity, bam, out of nowhere they’re at the forefront of nu-metal.
I had to look that up, you mean the EP? I didn’t know it went multi-platinum, though it’s surprising, and I guess the President’s did.
If you want to nitpick, then don’t include long since established acts, and I won’t include one-album wonders, eh?
yea, but isn’t selling platinum something that establishes the act? Of course Disturbed were obscure at one point, but they aren’t anymore, and stopped being so when they started selling huge numbers.
I think establishing the act is maintaining that success and becoming an accepted musical presence, not just putting out one big seller and then instantly fading into obscurity to break up or lose most of your original members, or even just keep doing the same thing and still having fans despite the lack of mainstream success, the latter is true among quite a few acts.
So if they’ve been around for around ten years and are successful, and were back then, I’d call them established.
See, now that wasn’t so hard. You guys are having a completely asinine conversation, but at least you’re not just “yelling” at each other. Although, I think your balls just touched.
NO U!
NO U!
ahahaha revrant you silly bitch…”the forefront of nu-metal” hmm, yeah thats the place to jealous of..
Didn’t say it was a good or bad place, horror-of-the-eyes, just noted how I liked them way back when they were just another Chicago band.
Gojira was feckin sweet, saw em as back up to In Flames in Manchester, was dope.
I also like lamb of god even more. Just hope they go back to the style of New American Gospel for the new album.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Funny review! And, very accurate with regards to its viciousness!
good album

bad revrant
