The Tech/Extreme Prog metal appreciation

I think Gojira´s drummer is superb. One of the main attractions ( there are many other excellent elements) in their music is his drumming IMO.

And I think Schuldiner is a superb vocalist. I can still understand if other people dislike his style.

Similarly, I can agree that Gojira has a good drummer. Doesn't mean he doesn't annoy me to the core and makes me stop the album from playing most of the time. It doesn't destroy the album for me, but it seriously hinders me to enjoy it as much as I could.

With Dark Suns, who are superb, I would say that only the first album Swanlike is Opeth like, Existence and Grave Human Genuine are more of uniqe cross between Opeth (their atmospheres) and Pain of Salvation (their technique and arangments, but also the emotional delivery) with GHG being the much more accomplished one of the two, parts of Existence just didnt work IMO.

from 2008 my personal best: Cult Of Luna - Eternal Kingdom ; Canvas Solaris - Atomized dream ; Cynic - Traced In air; Ayreon  - 01011001; Meshuggah - obZen ; Opeth - Watershed

BtBaM clicks with everyone, period.
Seriously, Colors is easily one of the most brilliant albums of the 00s (well, IMO at least).
Also, damn, at first Kezia was kinda 4 star stuff, but it got gradually more addictive as time rolled on, f**king amazing album, as is Fortress.

^That's a fair enough statement though.
It's hard to go a week without listening to it, it's just so awesome.

So I'm listening to Alaska for the first time right now and my penis has not left its full upright position since I turned I started listening.

This may be better than Colors, no?
