Mosquito Control is super heavy and sludgy and raw. Red Sea is similar, but better produced and slightly less heavy. Celestial is still predominantly sludge, but introduces more atmospheric elements. Oceanic is their first purely "post-metal" release, and is the first one with clean vocals. Panopticon goes even farther with the atmosphere, and might be the album that defined the build-release sound that the genre is known for. ItAoT is similar to Panopticon, but the song structures are more intricate (almost scattered), it has higher production values, and there are more cleans. Wavering Radiant is essentially a continuation of ItAoT, but with (in my opinion) more coherent structures.



tl;dr - Mosquito Control & Red Sea are the heavy ones. Celestial is the in-betweener. Oceanic and Panopticon are genre-defining post-metal classics. ItAoT and Wavering Radiant are more spaced-out, proggier albums, with Radiant being the stronger of the two (even Aaron Turner himself has said that he didn't love the way Truth turned out).
