Album Rating: 4.5
This was the soundtrack to all the Counter Strike 1.6 climbing maps I played when I was 15/16. It fit well with all the nature/tree climbing themes on a lot of the maps. I think that's why it hits so different for me.

I agree about Firdous E Bareen. The interplay in that track is just magical and it also completely eschews the quiet/loud dynamic that was pervasive around that time.

Album Rating: 3.5
holy tears is absolutely #1
prob too early in me knowing this to really rank it since ive gotten like 3 jams in but thinkin maybe
1. holy tears
2. firdous
3. over root and thorn
4. wrists
5. 1000 shards
6. not in rivers (hard song to rank since i like parts of it and not others)
7. dulciena
8. garden of light

well you got the top four bang on + in correct order, and the rest of the album doesn't matter so 100 emoji?
1000 shards is probably last for being the single most forgettable song they ever made though

Album Rating: 3.5
yeah theres a big gap for me between the top four and the rest. garden's only really at the bottom for me because of how badly it wastes the potential of it's pretty solid intro, but i could def see an argument for shards since it's pretty unremarkable

Garden is #1 here because of the outro.

One of the best, however SUMAC is reaching unprecedented levels of Based that haven't been reached before.

Garden at #8 is a hard sell. that's one of the best album endings I've ever heard.

The slander this album gets while WR gets jerked off is whacky
Both are good but I’ve always liked this one quite a bit more
|

awkward transitional album [123]
|
| |
Sometimes I think that makes for a more interesting experience than the streamlined result that comes after
|
| |
the majority of this tracklist is much less structurally or dynamically adventurous than the average WR song though (and the most out-there song, Not in Rivers, is a janky mess). lotta fumbling round for new textural ideas in stale songwriting moulds on here, most of these pieces needed a stronger sense of direction (1000 Shards, chunks of Garden of Light, deja vu linear writing on Dulcinea, even Wrists of Kings drags its feet a little despite being a highlight)
|
| |
I don’t really find it very awkward anyway tho. Really enjoy the spaciness, the drumming which is probably some the best on an Isis album, the synth choices, slightly more open-ended songs. Altogether makes it really enjoyable
