Brabiz: ISIS Marathon! (First listen)

Brabiz 06.02.26	I’m sorry
DarkSideOfLucca 06.02.26	It took me like a full year of listening to this band to really get into them tbh It didn't click for me personally until I got to Wavering Radiant, then I worked my way backwards and really understood
Hawks 06.02.26	Amazing band yes.
Christbait 06.02.26	They get better as you go. Don't worry if your personal ratings don't reflect the majority. I think your appreciation for them depends on which album you start with, honestly. So keep an open mind as you continue since they do change up quite a bit by the time In the Absence of Truth rolls around.
bananatossing 06.02.26	You should’ve listened to Mosquito Control and Red Sea before jumping into Celestial. Also give SGNL>05 a listen if you will.
gabba 06.02.26	Their first 3 albums are flawless, the best 3-album run in the ISIS/CoL/Neurosis discog imo. There's not a weak moment on Celestial, and it goes much harder than the rest, it is quite different.
DarkSideOfLucca 06.02.26	I mean I like Neurosis way more but yeah all 3 bands are fucking incredible, some of the best bands ever
budgie 06.02.26	jam pelican instead
bighubbabuddha 06.02.26	Wavering Radiant is their best, closely followed by Panopticon. Celestial is a grower.
jrlikestodance 06.02.26	Oceanic and Wavering are my top dogs
gabba 06.02.26	Interesting, I like Wavering the least. It's good, but not the level of their earliest ones. But maybe it'll grow on me later.
Brabiz 06.02.26	Listened to the first track off Oceanic while on my break at work. Much more interested in hearing this one. Was worried this list would be a Sput nuke with how Celestial went. Don’t want Hawks showing up at my house or some shit.
Hawks 06.02.26	Hahahahahahaha
Brabiz 06.02.26	My mileage with post-rock / metal varies. So we shall see. I’ve tried numerous times to get into Neurosis and it just never happens. Kind of frustrating actually
DarkSideOfLucca 06.02.26	I mean yeah all of these post bands didn’t click immediately with me, but now all 3 of them are like in my top 20 bands of all time (neurosis being #2)
bighubbabuddha 06.02.26	Neurosis latest album is easily AOTY, check it if you haven't bro
Hawks 06.02.26	Neurosis is my second fav band of all-time.
bighubbabuddha 06.02.26	Neurosis are in my top 50 hahaha. Man music rules
Demon of the Fall 06.02.26	It took me 15 years to fully appreciate Panopticon. If you like variety and find the vox boring, then Oceanic may be a better bet. simplistic breakdown... Big 3 post-metal = top 10 bands of all time, the only metal bands placing this high these days non top 3 post-metal = gonna struggle cracking top 100... unless I give Fall of Efrafa a pass despite only releasing one post-metal album lol
unclereich 06.02.26	Israeli Secret Intelligence Service m/
Brabiz 06.02.26	No way, this band put cameras in my house!!
IsisScript80 06.02.26	They're frickin' incredible. I've listened to them in real-time since around 2003... setting up a listening marathon in order to "get" them, seems needlessly fraught and pressurised.
