Fuck man, what am i supposed to do in my endless procrastination loop now? Jokes aside, I discovered sooooo many bands thanks to you guys.

Congrats on the baby and the wedding, hope you go out there and enjoy the fuck out of your life cause you made mine much more bearable, so thank you.

''Making a new Porcupine Tree record'' is not on the tracklist. 

Another OAA song to add to the ''I don't understand this band'' pile. Which is a fucking shame cause James' skill is insane, as well as every band members'. But the song structure does absolutely nothing for me, like Vultures and Sharks, I see there's clearly great technique on display but it never blends into something coherent, it sounds super disjointed imo.

My favorite album from them, and if you fuck with this, you'll definitely fuck with this.

I hate and love the cover art, it's something to behold. Thanks for the discovery @Summers, listening to ''Bernie Sanders'' so far, this bangs

Man i know where they were trying to do with that breakdown but the way they cut the guitars made it hit like a wet noodle. Good effort, but not quite on the mark for me.

Oh shit an EP, is this their first? It's been a loong time since i've been following them but I think i only listened to loosies

This dude sounds like he was born to do a James Bond theme. Jokes aside this shit is beautifully produced, hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

Don't get me wrong, I love both bands, but imo if a cover does nothing more to add to the OG it's pointless and boring. It's cool and the cover art is a nice tribute but I don't see myself listening to that one again. 

Arcane Roots made a banging Smells Like Teen Spirit cover (which is a rough exercise since that shit has been overplayed for decades now), instead of just replaying the track they did their own take on it, and while it's a polarizing track, at least it's refreshing as hell. 

Pre-orders are up, support this boi he deserves every penny.

I don't fuck with every single song but i'd be lying if I said this didn't catch me off guard. I haven't been keeping up with Joji since In Tongues, which I thought was promising, but damn, he really found his lane. The first half of this is suuuper strong, big James Blake vibes, MODUS in particular had me speechless.

I agree with the majority that there's some stuff that could've been left on the cutting room floor but overall this is better than anything I had in mind going into this.

Mamma mia this bangs real good.

This energy fucks. Haaard.

HNNNG the way the guitar tone came in. that's meaaaty.

This is my least favorite output of theirs, I was disappointed hearing Dark Skies even though it had some highlights but damn this is rough to listen to. Overall this one is pretty much same ol' same ol' FFAK but cheesier and borderline boring at some points. Also i get that the bells on the beat are probably a motif but it sounds overused quick. 

They're probably not the band for me in the end but I felt that they really found their mark with Deathgrip, shame.

Heavy is back on the menu lads. 

EDIT: ok dis hard

That intro reminded me of Silent Planet's Trilogy for some reason. They're really nailing the ethereal feel to their intrumental and that breakdown is pretty  t h i c c . Neon took a while to grow on me but now when I hear Ultimata i have to put it on repeat at least 12 times. Can't wait for a new record

Wtf, excuse me? New album? After the last one and Chapter 319 i'm fuckin hyped.

Holeeee shiet, Marcus sounds fucking monstrous. Can't wait till all this shit blows over so I can see them again live and grab more snapshots.

Man even with only an acoustic remix they blow it out of the park.

Ok what the shit, I've seen this guys go by multiple times on this site and /r/metalcore and for some reason I wasn't paying attention. 

Ｆ Ｕ Ｃ Ｋ  Ｍ Ｅ that riff is the nastiest and grooviest shit i've ever heard and Courtney is an absolute monster.

Is this a remaster or a rerecording of their earlier stuff? 

When Chain Wallet, Nike Shoes came out, Erak confirmed it was a rerecording and reimagining of their Thirty Years War material. Not sure if this applies to the whole album tho. 

Seeing all the tracks drop one by one made me itching to listen to this. Let's fucking gooo.

EDIT: As far as albums go, that's 3 for 3 in my book, the consistency from these guys is insane.

You literally said their lyrics are all in french, yet there's 0 Gojira songs that i can think of that are french spoken

Not that i'm agreeing with that dumbass but there actually are!

Not full songs per se but "On the B.O.T.A" from Terra Incognita and "Low Lands" from Magma have some french lines. As a french boi lemme tell ya, Low Lands hits different.
