fantastic album, just stunning.

Album Rating: 3

I'm no expert on these guys, but I've heard Australasia. These guys are very good and unique. It's heavy, melodic, ambient, and sludgy all at the same time. Well done.

Yeah, I acidentally capitalized the "i" in fire. Oh well. I think I should do the EP just so that I hacve a monopoly on one band with more than one album. I could finish of Peccatum too while I'm at it.

I think I'll also go back and make a few edits in this in a few days.

I love this album with every fiber of my being.

Good review too.

I only came in because I mistook Pelican for Hatebeak. But they sound pretty anyways, I'll download a song.

Album Rating: 4.5

Hahahaha... Pelican for Hatebeak? That would be hilarious if Pelican used a pelican as a vocalist.

Hmm... all you guys saying how good these guys are makes me wanna check them out. Who would you say they most sound like?

Album Rating: 4.5

...that is really hard to say. Imagine a really good jam band playing metal but not shred metal. INstead it's just really dense with these sweeping melodies and riffs that never sound the same twice. It's all instrumental too.

O wow... that sounds cool. Ill check them out for sure.

Album Rating: 5

Amazing album. By far my favorite release from Pelican. When I listen to it, I just can't get enough of it. Great atmosphere and mood on this album, all the while remaining really heavy at times.

I like how Pelican concentrates on creating soundscapes...the "heaviness" of their sound is more a means of conveying an epic story if you will...they don't play heavy riffs just to be heavy.

It's hard to pick standout tracks for this, because every single one is amazing and has a different thing to offer. I have to say, though, Autumn Into Summer is an amazingly epic journey through so many different parts, but it all works well.

This is how I'd rate all these bands that are similar:

Isis
Cult of Luna
Neurosis/Jesu
Pelican
MareThis Message Edited On 08.08.05

Hmm...I prefer instrumental, which is why Pelican is above Isis and Cult of Luna for me. I need to get more familiar with Neurosis and Mare, though, as both of them are very good.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yes, I prefer instrumental bands too. I'll look into those

I almost got this album today. Then I almost got Team Sleep. Then I settled with Funeral Diner's The Underdark because it was the cheapest and rarest of all three. And they rule.

Kage, I love Pelican and Isis, but I freaking really dislike Neurosis. Everybody calls Isis a Neurosis ripoff but I find Isis and Pelican's tonal choices to be much more tasteful than Neurosis'. Neurosis is way into cacophony in individual instruments, which gives weird, almost goofy, riffing in high pitches. Pelican and Isis are more about making the cacophony between instruments and with their harmonizations. I much prefer that sound. Also the production value on a lot of Neurosis sucks since they were "the first," which consequently means they suffer as the genre of instrumental metal is pretty dependent on awesome production and tasteful flares.

I actually liked Pelican EP. I might review it..
