Topic: Favorite Voivod Album Posted: April 08 2013 at 15:23 |
In light of the release of Target Earth, thought I'd ask you guys and gals which among these is your favorite ?
Very hard for me to decide, I hesitate between five of these, including the latest. I'll vote later.
Fire away !

Killing Technology. The Eric Forrest era was not bad either, Negatron is very good actually.

Nothingface is one of the greatest things to have come from the 1980s.

Nothingface, of course. Target Earth is very good as well. The new guy sure has the Piggy sound down pat!

Dimension Hatross is my personal favorite (may be because it was the first that I heard) though I do love Nothingface.

Really tough poll to decide, but in the end I decided to go with Dimension Hatross. I love the epic 'wall of sound' tracks like "Experiment" have, and the music is still thrashy as hell, but with a ton of both prog and "cyberpunk" influences.

Isn't he great ? The guy is an amazing guitarist, he actually teaches jazz&pop music in a college here in Quebec, he is also the guitar coach for le Cirque du Soleil's upcoming Michael Jackson show, and a much sought after session player.
He is a longtime Voivod fan, he actually decided to play the guitar as a kid when he first saw the video to Ravenous Medicine. He used to front Tech/extreme metal band Martyr ; if you're into that style, check out all their 3 albums : Hopeless Hopes, Warp Zone and Feeding the Abscess !

Nothingface is my favorite album, though Brain Scan from Dimension Hatross is hands down my favorite song. The Jason Newsted era was awful.
1. Nothingface 2. Dimension Hatross 3. Phobos 4. Target Earth 5. Outer Limits 6. Killing Technology
The drop off is steep after that.
7. Angel Rat 8. Rooooaraoroarofl 9. War and Pain 10. Katorz 11. Negatron 12. Infini 13. Voivod
