I've never heard them, but I heard the Japanese hate them. |

They do it well, they dont seem to drag on to me. But then again I've never really been one to judge what makes a good riff or whatnot; I just listens to songs as a whole. |

I've never heard Gojira, sorry. :( |

As for the no solos thing, I really think that Gojira works so well as a cohesive unit that if one of the instruments came out above the rest (like in a solo) then it wouldn't go too well with their sound. I mean even the vocalist tends to stick with harmonizing with the guitars. Godzilla should totally be playing a guitar on that cover |

Haha. It was very hard finding a suitable pic at all! =) Godzilla eating a train would have to do. Unfortunately, the creators of Godzilla refused to give us permission to use that image! Bastards. |

No solos? At all? That's dampened by enthusiasm somewhat. Although admittedly I was only drawn in the first place by the cool name and cover art for their new album. Gojira is a crap name for a band. |

I didn't really miss solos while listening to it. I mean I didn't even really realize it had no solos until after I finished listening to the album and was like "hey were their any solos in that?", and there's no points in the album where I really think a solo would fit in. =P |

Listening to samples again, this is pretty good. I saw "From Mars To Sirius" in my local indie shop the other day at a reasonable price, I might just pick it up... |

I think its pretty decent, but its not really the sort of thing I normally listen to. Dunno whether you consider that a good or bad sign. I can see the Meshuggah comparison, but they don't take it anywhere as far as them in terms of eschewing traditional song structures. |
