    We've got a new band to listen to, with French heavy metal giants Gojira the next band to be examined under the Unshuffled microscope. As always, we kick off with the debut album. Largely overlooked at the time of release, Terra Incognita seems to have been overshadowed by their later albums. Has it been unfairly treated? Buy it and give it a listen first, then give us a listen as we break it down track by track. For show notes, credits, and previous episodes, please visit www.unshuffledpod.com.

    We predicted that Force Field would be a sequel to Gravitron, and we were right. The question is, is it more like 'The Godfather II' or 'Speed 2'? Seven full-length albums in, are we still digging this band, or has Bitchwax Fatigue got the better of us? Listen and find out.
