I have read a lot of ISIS reviews on the net,for every single album they have released.With some of them i agree with some i disagree but i get angry when i see people rate In The Absence Of Truth a 3.0 or less.Let me tell you something in all of my years of listening to good music i have yet to meet and discover a band with such emotion anger and spirituality as ISIS.From their first and underrated Celestial album to ITAOT they have evolved in many ways,they have turned their sound to a more epic,emotional approach.Do not get me wrong there is still anger but they use it in a more suddle in a way.So i know that a lot of people will get pissed off because of their sound change but the bottom line is they are still as good as ever and still as close as ever to their original sound.And that is why people have a problem with ITAOT.
People think it is too soft,too post-rock like,but then again they have to evolve,that is the whole point of having a band i think it is to evolve and learn musically what you can do.And ISIS reached their limit of epicness on this one.
This album is not only emotionally amazing but it gives you a hight feel of spirituality too.From Harris amazing drum playing to Bryant Clifford Meyers hunting keyboards,epic brakes in songs that bring chills to your spine,i will have to say this is my favorite ISIS album.
Favorite songs are...
Over Root And Thorn
Dulcinea
Garden Of Light
Holy Tears
This is my first review so go easy people,and i am too lazy to write about all the songs. |
