It's hard to know where to begin with Gorguts's Obscura. This album is one of the strangest pieces of music I have ever listened to. What others have said about it tends to vary between people who claim that it isn't music at all, but just an hour of random noises, to people who claim that it is the greatest metal album of all time. I tend to side with the latter, but it is hard not to have some sort of sympathy for the former.

Quite possibly the most insane yet very coherent album ever made. Luc Lemay is an idol of mine and this album is a shining example of why this is. Every single aspect of Obscura is unreal. From the dissonant guitar work, to the stunning bass, to the inhuman drumming, this is a masterpiece of insanity.
Bow to the masters of completely original death metal

My wife to be was going to buy this for me!
I wouldn't let her... cost too damn much!
Why can't they reissue this? There seems to be enough demand for it.

I don't get it. Far too long, too chaotic and devoid of any groove or rhythm for my taste. Every song on this was a headache to listen to, bar 'Nostalgia'.

Surely it doesn't deserve a 3 though?
I think you're trying too hard, just sit back and let it play

I definitely think this is one the most innovative pieces of art ever created, it avoids falling flat on its face which a lot of artists trying to produce groundbreaking work often do. However I often feel like it repeats itself occasionally, the same ideas from the beginning of the album are heard once again near the end. This holds me back from giving a 10.

I agree completely.
