saying Isis are leagues ahead of Opeth in terms of songwriting is pure bullshite but Isis ARE good...more droning and meditative than Opeth, IMO
Wouldn't he need to actually hit diffrent notes for it to be considered an instrument? And even when there is clean singing it doesn't fit with the music. Like the begining of hymn. I bought the CD and really wasn't impressed.Originally posted by O'blivion
yes, this is intentional. the vocals are used as an instrument more than anything.
Huh? Aaron hits tones that Warrell Dane can only dream about. standard vocalization such as WD's can become very boring after a while (although WD is still one of my favourite vocalists). ISIS utilize vocal expression perfectly. the emotion and tone are, well, perfect. you're just disorientated by what you hear, kind of like the first time you hear death growls. as for your question, i believe Lakestream already answered it.Originally posted by Poison Godmachine

i disagree. listening to something ONCE is still listening to something ONCE. END. it is pretty hilarious though if you compare both commentsI knew that someone was going to veiw me as a hypocrite and I'm glad that I made you laugh! I've purchased this disc and sat home with the head phones on and the booklet open while listening to it. This is no where near the same as sampling a few songs at the store! I agree that sometimes a cd take many listens before the "magic" is recognized and I'm sorry to say that it will not happen on this disc for me. I bought it because of all the positive things said out here and I'm disappointed that this band is no where near Opeth's attitude in song writing and when you group that in with the horrible vocal style I'm not interested.
