Voivod Katorz CD

 Great CD
This is a must have for any Voivod fan. It sounds like a bittersweet tribute to dearly departed Piggy..who had already recorded all the guitar parts before his death. The vibe is similar to "The Outer Limits".

 you must *listen* to this album to get it
yes, this is the sort of record that you have to put on and listen to. that sounds strange, isn't that what you always do with a record? well, you should. if you put this CD on and go about your bizness of the day, you will not get it. there are so many interesting nooks and crannies on this album. at first it seems rather bland, but IF YOU SIT DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION you will hear a work of total genius, which is what a voivodian would come to expect from these masters. in many ways, it is a bittersweet recording, given the cirumstances of piggy's passing and all, but in spite of the emotional attachment i have to voivod and to piggy, there is no doubt that this is a masterpiece; right up there with "dimention" or "nothingface".

 Excellent follow-up to their 2003 album
Masterfully played cyber punk/technical trash. The disc sounds similar to their self-titled 2003 album, with more psychedelic elements and odd riffs from Dimension Hatross and Nothingface. My favourite song is 'The Getaway' and 'Polaroids'. R.I.P. Piggy. It may be challenging to fill in Piggy's shoes, but a band like Voivod should eventually go on with a new guitarist. I do not expect it to happen until all Piggy's material is released - which may be another album.

 Piggy was great
Voivod was as innovative to metal as Floyd was to classic rock. Piggy was an underated guitarist. This cd does nothing for his legacy Nothing on this cd really impresses. Even the last Voivod cd with Gasmask Revival had that dissonant chord style of Piggy but this cd sounds like what it is- Music set to some ideas found on Piggy's portastudio I found it pretty uninteresting musically for Voivod but I guess its a way to say good by to a fabulous guitarist
