It's not representative of the entire record like Derek said (I agree with you re: the vocals btw), but there's no harm in waiting until it's released just to be sure it hits you.

I think you just enjoy being the anti-me, haha. Some bands though it took me a long time to get. Pet Slimmers is one. I fucking love that band now, but at first I had a very lukewarm reaction to them, due to them sounding so much like Isis but not having Aaron's vocals over it haha. Same thing with "Departure Songs" by We Lost The Sea. That album took a very long time for me to "get". It happens sometimes. Some things hit me instantly, like Pray For Sound's "Monophonic" did, and This Patch of Sky's "Newly Risen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not rule out the possibility that it is you who perhaps relishes in everything that's anti-me. We're in this thing together.

The tone is there; lots of crushing guitar sounds. Maybe I need more listens. Spun "Mosquito Control" today before I left for class though. That shit holds up so well. It's so gnarly and so raunchy. Life Under The Swatter, man. Life Under the Swatter is great... I will have to go back and spin it again. It's been a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that I don't love is The Red Sea, it's just a little too weird for my taste, although Catalyst is fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, was talking about the Mustard Gas...was sceptical because of the vocals...but since it's the only song with vocals, I'll check the album...

Can't confirm if that's the only variant or not, but it's enough to get me to pick up another copy despite there being zero issue with any of the ones I currently own. Was kind of hoping the variants wouldn't be anything to turn heads this time around, but I'm happy to see other people will have the opportunity to finally own this gem of a record on such a nice colorway.

Gumbo72203 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Will buy. My yellow copy is probably one of my favorite-sounding records. Everything is just perfect, and the bass breakdowns in "Ghost Key" and "Hand of the Host" are so fucking powerful and clear. Plus, I can never have enough thin $50 hoodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.....How many ISIS variants do I really need?!?!? But if that's a clear w/ yellow splatter...I'm all over it. And a hoodie w/ the Mosquito Control symbol?!?!? FUCK. YEAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barberbro Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Don't have this yet. Definitely need though. I think ISIS is the best band that I have discovered through this board. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Fortunately, I'm not into variant collecting and am more than happy with my 2009 yellow press! This one looks really really good! And the hoodie is great...depending on the price I might snag one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Don't know if I need another copy of Wavering Radiant or not... That variant looks rad though. Is that just a reissue or is it a remaster? As long as pricing is ok, I'll grab that hooded sweatshirt. I'm due for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That sure is tempting -both the vinyl and hoodie. Hope they do their 30% off holiday sale at the same time, even though it prob won't apply to this PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
