The New Isis

[J.]

after two listens, it's official. Panopticon is a masterfully brilliant album. I like this more than Oceanic. Finally, a 2004 album that blew me away, and there is so much more to the album that subsequent listens will reveal.

To you hardcore-vocals-suck wimps, the new Isis has very little hardcore vocals, as most of the album is instrumental, and they also added clean vocals

 

[speed]

Yeah after a three week abscence of listening to it, i put it back on last week, and liked it much much more than before. Its still no Oceanic though- in my opinion of course.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Im starting to enjoy it more than Oceanic but the drums still piss me off at times.

 

[Demonspell]

I've been listening to this album fairly extensively, it sounds carefully constructed and boundless in scope, and most of the songs are mesmerizing...a definite best of 2004 contender. For once, the term post-hardcore is entirely accurate...

Terrorizer's Album of the Month for #124 getting a 9.5

Any of you that have not bought Panopticon, well, I seriously feel sorry for you.

Cult of Luna and COnverge both got a 9. Mare got a 9. The Haunted got a 7. Lamb of GOd got 8.5. Red Harvest got 7.5. Hey NAD, Rwake got 8.

Fuck everything else this year, grow a sac and get Panopticon.

What he said.

 

[Nate The Great]

Panopticon is damn near better than Oceanic.

I'm also going to give another shout out about the new Converge and Mare. THE SHIT!!!

You guys really need to start reading Decibel Magazine. They feature a lot of the same bands as Terrorizer, but you can read about them a month or three earlier. Because its a US mag. www.decibelmagazine.com

I didn't see Decibel at Barnes&Nobles

 

[Nate The Great]

I have a subscription. They sent me the first issue free (I guess they got my name from a label or something), but I immediately subscribed. Just subscribe!

 

[NAD]

Fuck me, I'm only on track 3 but this is probably the best album I've heard all year. I'm not digging the drums very much though, the snare is too loud.

 

[NAD]

This album is so god damn teh win. Thanks again, Dooflipper.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Oh, you and your euphemistic name calling.

One Inch Penis: Did you know Tool's bass player plays on one of the songs on the new Isis?

 

[J.]

You people need to listen to me more often. :Smug:

One Inch Penis: Did you know Tool's bass player plays on one of the songs on the new Isis?

I do now! Pretty cool.

You people need to listen to me more often. :Smug:

...did anybody hear something?

FUCK! These dudes played a show 20 minutes away from me 3 days ago. D'OH! Hmm, they're playing in Ventura tonight that's a little far but I might go anyhow.

 

[Nate The Great]

Isis is looking to be the next big thing, IMO. We're not talking major label, but I think a band like Tool might take them on tour in the near future. That's big for an underground band like Isis.

 

[JayKeeley]

Hey, I would hate this album right?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hey, I would hate this album right?

On the contrary.

 

[J.]

Hey, I would hate this album right?

Probably not. But that depends on if you want to hear one of the best albums of the year.

 

[Nate The Great]

Isis is sort of one of those bands that nobody can really hate. JayKeeley, being of sound mind and sexy body, would probably really like Isis.
