Every Gojira album has been a step forward, but L’Enfant Sauvage was the type of leap an Olympic long jumper would make. Arriving four years after 2008’s also-excellent The Way of All Flesh, the French band’s fifth LP is a technical and compositional marvel that harnesses their pummeling extreme-metal approach, ups the melodies and pushes their songwriting to new heights without ever losing hold of their signature sound. The title-track alone is an all-timer, and it sounds killer on wax.
