Isis - Wavering Radiant[views:1446][posts:11]_________________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 5:58pm - Conservationist ""] The hardest part of being a music fan is keeping a straight face. Someone will hand you music that is misbegotten, tell you it's good and that many people really dig it. Your job is then to keep from laughing or crying until they're out of the room. Isis "Wavering Radiant" falls into the category of "I hope it's satire." Read on for full review: Isis - Wavering Radiant (2009) |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 6:27pm - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] This band took a sharp decline when they started getting popular. While I don't like the last two albums, but their earlier works are excellent, and I quote- "ISIS live is like sonic meditation, only you don't feel like a dirty hippie." |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 6:28pm - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] err, "their earlier works"*, rather. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 6:28pm - arilliusbm ""] yep. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 6:44pm - RustyPS ""] this is the only album by them I haven't liked |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 7:19pm - Conservationist ""] MikeOvDecrepitvde said:err, "their earlier works"*, rather. Based on the opinions in this thread, I'll be seeking earlier works. It's best to catch a band at the height of their game (I may be stating the obvious here). |
| _________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 7:21pm - RustyPS ""] Mosquito Control, Celestial, Oceanic are their best |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 7:24pm - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] What Rusty said, and I'd also throw Panopticon on their as well. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 7:43pm - LPCustom ""] Panopticon no contest for me - although I like everything these guys have put out. I actually prefer Oceanic and on but I know that's not a very popular opinion. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 8:40pm - the_reverend ""] the oceanic redux ftw |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2009 12:08am - Doomkid nli ""] Mosquito Control and Red Sea, back in the good ol' days when they were much more raw. I blame the current album's lack of luster on Aaron's quitting weed. It really is just very lame and uninspired, I was disappointed. I really didn't want to be. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2009 12:36am - goatcatalyst ""] Oceanic then Celestial. Be REALLY high for maximum pleasures. |
