Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Not a large fan of Sepultura past Arise/Third World Posse. Roots was mildly interesting for a listen or two, but otherwise uninspiring.
The Way of All Flesh was one of my favorite albums of 2008 (along with Traced in Air, A Spell for the Death of Man, Lazarus Bird, Gods of the Earth, Krallice, and Meanderthal). Without a doubt my favorite Gojira album. Their most polished, mature, and well-rounded album to date, imo. "Vacuity" is an incredibly crushing and powerful track, and my favorite on the album.
That being said, being one of the best albums of 2008 is doesn't carry the same weight as being the best album of 2009 or several other years in the 2000s (2001, 2004, and 2007 specifically). And very few years can ever approach the glory of 1996, but that's a discussion for another time.
