It could be argued that The Art of Dying is their best song.

Guys, it's ok to focus on the drumming as much as you do. Mario is widely praised as one of the best drummers in the world (not just metal too, just in general) and a lot of Gojira songs are quite literally built to empower his drum patterns. He went to a fairly prestige jazz drum school and was known as a prodigy and a perfectionist from a young age. Aside from Gojira, him and Joe also had a really underrated jazz fusion/metal band in the early 00s that is also a good showcase for his craft and versatility

Good to hear my friend! I've been going deep on Gojira recently as well. I listened to The Link years back and some other random songs over the years, just casually. Not really a fan of the "death metal" stereotype or other bands that are often categorized that way, but after discovering Magma I couldn't deny or avoid their unique mastery and am an eternal fan now. I personally kind of approach their style as a "picking up the torch" from Pantera and infusing it with a bit more depth, thoughtfulness and melodically driven progress but all the nastiness and cathartic powerful anger that great "metal" deserves. In my honest opinion. So excited to see them next spring with Deftones!

When you explain what you mean by “nasty” trust me, we understand. Most metal heads will describe really awesome riffs, vocals, songs as being sick, disgusting, gross, dirty, etc. so you good lol

Unfortunately, the record label keeps taking down reactions to anything Fortitude. A handful of KZreadrs contested it and won, but that's rare.

I've always found the song structure of opening high intensity and ending sort of more calming to be deliberate in its craft. The esoteric surgery being unlearning and cutting out the toxic stuff humans hold onto. At first the song is brute force and fury. Through healing, time, and a lot of work the song reflects the peace of mind discovered in its sound. Obviously super subjective.

This whole album is just fucking insane drumming wise. FMTS has their best melodies and is overall my favorite of theirs, but WOAF is next level in the drumming department. It’s not just super difficult, it’s more than anything just crazy memorable.

About the mellow ending, on the album that same ending is played on the previous track The art of Dying. So in a way it is both at the end and start of Esoteric Surgery if you listen to both tracks back-to-back.

If you notice the drums more, then talk about the drums more, it's all good. There's a reason people consider a band's drummer to be the backbone of all bands, from Jazz to Technical Death Metal. I've been a guitarist and singer for over 15 years but I always take heed to the drum-work over other roles in any new band I listen to. It's the main part of any music that gets us moving to the jam bruh :)

It’s funny that Ryan talks about the whole “inverse” thing for the ending of this song, because even though he was talking about just switching the ending and beginning, in this context if u take the ending of this song and The Art Of Dying, and play them in reverse, it’s the melody to the riff of Esoteric Surgery. U can find them on KZread of those 2 endings and Wolf Down The Earth ending being played in reverse
