I do as well.

Album Rating: 4.5

Thats a really tough call for me seeing as all of their albums are really unique.

Album Rating: 5.0

This has the best theme I think.



Musically, I don't think I could ever choose. I enjoy almost all their full albums equally.

What is the theme about (in short, if someone doesn't mind explaining). I never really cared for lyrical themes and therefore never looked into this one. I'm interested now since everyone says its good. This Message Edited On 01.23.08

Basically, it's a story about a guy who falls in love with a woman. But he finds out that she is having an incestuous relationship with her brother. Distraught by this, he drowns himself because of it.



That's the basics though. I'd advise looking at wikipedia or something to get the full flesh and bones of the concept.

I think I've heard enough about the concept behind that album hahahahaha. Wasn't it written after a short story or something around that nature?

One album I do enjoy the lyrics to is Panopticon. I remember learning in school about what a Panopticon is/represents and I thought the meaning of it fit the music perfectly.

Isis always just sound like sonic wallpaper to me... I just cannot get into them whatsoever. It all sounds very methodical and well done so I don't exactly hate them, it's just that I their music illicits no emotion within me.

I just love the water type theme of the album. It makes it flow.

This album is really good all the different layers of sound just make it immense. The first song is brilliant and so is 'Carry' (which i'm listening to now!!)

Album Rating: 5.0

The Beginning and the End is definitely one of the highlights. I love the interplay between the riffs and drumming throughout that song.

Album Rating: 4.5

^^^The end of that song has one of the sweetest bridges ever. Its just so intense after the double snare drum tap.

Yeah, immense stuff. A lot of their material has these massive build ups with superb climaxes.

Album Rating: 4.5

The builds on this album, I find, are so complicated, even though they are very simplistic in terms of chord progressions etc.. Really well thought out.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah. That's what I love so much about Isis. You can tell that everything has been carefully constructed. That's evident on pretty much everything they've ever released, particularly In the Absence of Truth.

Album Rating: 4.5

In the Absense of Truth is the pinnacle of post metal, hands down! I've never heard an album like that before. One of my top 5 albums of all time!

Album Rating: 5.0

I really don't know why this album is less popular than ITAOT and Panopticon.

Album Rating: 4.5

Because Panopticon and ITAOT are better....

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed to a point^^^! All three of these albums are unique and have some mind blowing tracks to them.

I don't know whether to try.

Album Rating: 4.0

This album is basically a Bridge between the heaviness they had in songs like "The Red Sea" and the brinks of their great songwriting involved with "Panopticon."
