Dude, pls keep up with content like this. I work as a cashier in a tobacco store in a small town, so I don’t really have many customers 😅 so i watch your videos and this really helps with my boredom and monotony. Love your takes with album ranking videos as much as the Retrospectives.

I came across Dimension Hatross back in 1989 in a used record store in Laramie, Wyoming (of all places). I was all of 15 and I had never heard anything like that before. And obviously I'm still a fan to this day. Plus I'm one of those people who loved Angel Rat when it came out. To me, that run from Killing Technology to The Outer Limits is untouchable. I'm also fond of Katorz and Infini as it's a genuine tribute to the last music Piggy made. I get that those albums are different, but they never had the chance as a band to work on those demo riffs on his laptop. Once that context is established, those two albums are pretty good to my ears. But the last two albums are about as good as anything they've ever done. I'm just glad this band keeps finding reinvention and new winds to keep them around.

I first heard Voivod when they released Dimension...it was an awakening for me! Then I heard Killing Technology & was blown away. It didn't take long for me to look like Blacky in the photo on the rear of Killing!

hope you haven't missed the awesome EP "Post Society" which was released between "Target Earth" and "The Wake". It should have been a full length album but due to Blackys departure they couldn't release more than this EP. So sad that we'll never get the full song of the final track from Target Earth, which served as a first teaser for the next album.

I only missed Post Society out of the video because it wasn’t a full length - thanks for filling in that bit of info. I love Post Society - I also have the shirt haha - plus I think the “Silver Machine” cover is pretty cool.

My friends kid loves my Rrröööaaarrr-tank-shirt and he's disappointed if I turn up for a visit not wearing it. Haven't watched the videos yet, but seeing as you've done Scorn previously, how'd you feel about a retrospective and/or rank on Godflesh?

Outstanding review of an ecclective discography. My only disagreement is the Jason Newsted era. I saw the Voivod and Katorz tours, and the music was heavier and harder than the cds. Maybe those albums suffered from a poor mixes.

@@linesinwax4996 I'd say give Ministry's "The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste" a listen - their first two albums are somewhat dark synth-pop, but by the late '80s they'd gone industrial-thrash. They were massive when I saw them at the first Lollapalooza fest, I'm getting old-ish ha ha. Meanwhile, I'm totally digging the Voivod retrospective, they're another band I've been listening to for decades! Cheers.

it's a damn shame that Voivod only truly made one mind-blowing masterpiece that will stand the test of time forever... DIMENSION HATROSS... they've tried and tried and tried and tried but nowhere near as brilliant and esoteric and masterful.... HATROSS is forever and it's a damn shame they barely play it live.
