Once again, Isis continue to impress with their first full length album, Celestial. I have been going backwards through isis' releases, starting with Panopticon. This is probably the heaviest of Isis' three major full lengths. The songs in the album are separated by SGNLs, most of which sound like someone typing in the depths of the rainforest. SGNL>02 is pretty creepy because there is a muffled voice in the background speaking, but it is really hard to understand what he is saying. After the first SGNL, Celestial(The Tower) kicks in.

Between the Buried and Me's debut is an amazing album. It is a must buy for any btbam fan, and even any metalcore fan in general.

Alaska ~ Between the Buried and Me

Alaska was definitely one of the best releases of 2005. In comparison to the Silent Circus, this album is less experimental, but the songs are more harder and in my opinion, better. The Silent Circus had a couple of great songs, but also had some filler, particularly towards the end. Alaska has no filler whatsoever, but it does have three mini instrumentals that break up the craziness of the songs. Songs like "Alaska" and "Backwards Marathon" show promise for between the buried and me's future releases. I heard that their new album is going to be made up entirely of covers, however. I am not sure if I'll buy it.
