Gojira Discography [portable]

Musically, this album marked a turn toward atmosphere and melody. While still undeniably heavy, the songs were longer and more spacious. The guitars were treated with more effects, creating a shimmering, icy atmosphere reminiscent of their coastal home.

It was on this record that Joe Duplantier began integrating more "clean" singing techniques, though used sparingly to emphasize specific emotional peaks. It is a brooding, introspective record that showed a band comfortable with silences as much as noise.
