RMFN Notes:

"Simply put: this is my favorite Gojira album of all time. To me, this is their Black Album in every since of the word. For the first time, Gojira gets less proggy, focuses more on singular riffs carrying a song, and shorter overall run times.. sound familiar? Magma is a magnificent album that flirts right on the line of Hard Rock and Metal. Absolute masterpiece." - Chris
