new Isis. "Better then ITAOT".

<< < (2/2)

Zingoleb:
Thank you, I always feel stupid asking questions like this, because it seems like everyone but me knows the answer.

I'm a classic rocker going through a reform. :|

SWOON! at My Gravitas:
I sort of felt ambiguous about it at first, in that I half-expected Isis to do a glorious return to the Panopticon-and-before days of yore when their music was heavy enough to liquify my kidneys.  After the first listen, and after I poked around a bit and found my kidneys disturbingly un-liquified...well, I was disappointed to say the least.  But after having been listening to it repeatedly going on a couple weeks now, I have to say their new albums is a step in a very nice direction.  It's melodically interesting (much more so than ITAOT), and the liberal use of keyboard in layering is nothing short of BITCHING.

So, yeah...if I were to stack up Isis' albums based on quality, I'd put the new 'un below Panopticon and Oceanic, but above In the Absence of Truth.

And Celestial can go, uh...somewhere...in...there...I guess...yeah.

spoon_of_grimbo:
i seem to be in the minority who think that ITAOT is Isis' best by miles, with oceanic a close second, and panopticon just behind that (still haven't checked out the pre-oceanic stuff, something i must get around to doing!).

i've only given the new one a coupla listens, so i don't really know where i'd rank it.  it'll be hard though, as three i've ranked already are still INCREDIBLY close in terms of quality, and this one's up there with them.
