Jun 16, 2016Magma is the kind of album that metalheads would love non-believers to check out, if only because it confounds all the usual stereotypes about the genre being unimaginative and dumb.
-
Jun 17, 2016Magma hardly represents the epitome of the avant-garde in today’s metal scene, but in offering a concise anthology of accessible, immediately engaging songs that nonetheless manage to redefine the edge of the commercial envelope, Gojira set the bar for what arena metal could be five years from now, ten years from now... whenever the more casual heavy metal demographic finally catches up.
-
Jun 24, 2016Magma might not be the album fans were expecting, but it’s really not about them. The Duplantiers had to make this album for themselves. We are the fortunate witnesses.
-
Jun 16, 2016On the leaner, extraordinarily concise Magma, you hear Gojira becoming even more fully realized.
-
Jul 8, 2016Magma’s not nearly as esoteric as the albums that preceded it--and considering how Gojira’s progressive tendencies have distinguished them from the get-go, the catchiest tracks on the record arguably take the biggest risks.
-
Jun 17, 2016The change in musical course--and the fact that Joe is singing more and screaming less these days--will probably disappoint (or even anger) a certain percentage of the band's devoted fans. But for those who can appreciate a tightly focused hard rock album infused with emotions that are often just as heavy as its riffs, Magma offers a listening experience that is as rewarding as it is therapeutic.
-
Aug 18, 2016The band hits all marks on melody and dynamics, but the furious passion that drove their past work sounds muted.

Jun 17, 2016This album is for me one of the best metal records i listened to in the recent years. You really can feel the passion Gojira has put into this album .
