Has all the feel and makings of a dark and suspenseful movie, September 3, 2009
This review is from: Urgency (Audio CD)
he Good
"Urgency" casts a dark shadow with echoed vocals and programmed background tones. The darkened themes continue on "Animadversion." Programmed effects are explored more as well. The chorus has a catchy hook to it. "Fly" enters psychedelic territory with its light drum beats, faded guitars, and haunting vocals. "Ash & Rose" is a tortured and eerie ballad. "Resistance Lullaby" treads the same ground, but with vocal power.
The Bad
Three instrumental tracks.
The Verdict
For their second outing, ism takes the dark and melancholy route. Urgency has all the feel and makings of a dark and suspenseful movie. I'm sure the album is based on a concept since the songs seem to fit together in a story. Just what that concept is, I can't put my finger on it.

I saw ism at a club in Seattle, November 20, 2008
This review is from: Urgency (Audio CD)
I went to a club in Seattle and saw ism for the first time, I had listened to one of their songs on the internet, just to see if I would even want to go, and liked them. They were not the headline band, but should have been! They were great live, and I bought the cd at the show.
I play it all the time, and have just previewed and ordered their earlier cd's.
