It's not bad for an early attempt but if you're looking for the Gojira you're used to with their current stuff you're better off going back to From Mars and anything after it .

The best Gojira album
The best Gojira album. Well, either this or The Link, depends on my mood. But these earlier Gojira albums (the first four) certainly smash the last two albums they've come up with. This is more of a weird Gojira album, it's interesting and the vocals are more death metal than they would later go on to do (but not as death metal as the Godzilla / pre-Gojira material). So I like weird, progressive extreme metal and if you do too, you'll dig this album, also Dark Millennium and Babylon Sad albums. Great.
