5.0 out of 5 stars it's a shame this is the only ISIS they have on amazon..., August 30, 2000

becuase out of this, their newest full length "celestial", their older ep "mosquito control", and the sawblade ep, this is my least favorite isis release.

however, it's still awesome. ignore the guy who said these guys sound like the dillinger escape plan, if anything, they're the opposite. instead of every song being a race to see which band member can finish the song first, isis attack you by SLOWLY building up mammoth riffs until they reach the point of impact and then release a wall of sound. every person on the planet seems to compare these guys to neurosis, but there is no way neurosis (although a GREAT band) could ever make something as heavy as these guys. this album is still great just because of the title track, which is one of the heaviest songs i've ever heard in my life. buy this cd, then buy the rest of their stuff and say to yourself "wow, this is even better than the red sea".

if you like this, i'd say check out neurosis (if you haven't already!), ire, and bloodlet.

An amazing work by Isis. They are the best band, ever. There's breaks and intros, there's guitar work that's dizzying, pounding, and droning at once, there's weird noises and effects, there's pummeling vocals in an artistic and musical manner. The title track is the best song you have ever heard in your life. The secnd half of the album is the demo previous to this album. I can't believe how good it is. Hardcore fans, metal fans, even if you don't like music at all, buy this album, it's amazing.

This is Isis' third relase and its not as good as i would have expected, its too short. The first 3 tracks are the new stuff whereas the last 4 are from they're orginal demo from 97 or 98 (which makes this album worth getting) the 3 tracks are good, especially the title track. the demo songs are wonderful but the production is bad. i would have to recommend getting their second ep, mosquito control from escape artist records. anyway this album is not they're best but still excellent.
