ISIS

[lostpilot]

'Backlit' and 'In Fiction' are definitely the diamonds of this album but I am just no sure about 'So Did We'.
It takes time - what do I expect from the first listen

Wavering Radiant is simply becoming one of my favorite albums.

[Jacob]

I cannot say I liked Oceanic. It was way too destructive in a rough raw way. I enjoy the atmosphere more. The songwriting is indeed good, but the overall style of that album.. nope, not my cup of tea. And I haven't yet stepped into Celestial, no

[theis]

Oh if you think Oceanic was too rough, then you're definitely not gonna like Celestial, hehe.

[lostpilot]

Oh if you think Oceanic was too rough, then you're definitely not gonna like Celestial, hehe.

well, then I'm not even  gonna try

[lostpilot]

I absolutely love "Backlit" and "In Fiction".

And I can easily say, that Isis is really becoming one of my favorite bands. Such beauty in every song. This is crazy!

[bright lights, big city]

good to hear, and look, a year ago you thought the opposite of them!

[ben]

Now onto Cult of Luna for you.

[lostpilot]

I WILL.

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

Ah well, why not.

Oceanic
Panopticon
Wavering Radiant
In the Absence of Truth
Celestial

I might have to second this rating. Fuck, Oceanic just moves me so much and Panopticon has some of the most intense mood evoking tracks ever. Wavering is astounding. There are so many amazing moods coursing through that album. The evolution of "Hall of The Dead" alone is worth the price of admission while "Ghost Key" immediately seals the deal of extravagance. I don't know. I'm so ecstatic about this band its crazy. The Red Sea EP and The Mosquito Control EP are just sick. Seriously amazing catalog these guys have put out. Shame they're calling it a day.

[lostpilot]

I'm being destroyed by Isis right now.
oh boy!

'Deconstructing Towers' just kills me everytime. It's proper evil.

[nineteen]

Sorry, I didn't read the thread.

Check out 'The Red Sea' EP. It's proper heavy as well.

I managed to get one of the limited vinyl of it (233 in Pink) so definitely gonna hang onto it for a few years!

first time @ Celestial.
sounds very very nice.
