Dominic_ Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That Isis/Aereogramme EP is better than anything I've ever seen you post about except maybe Pig Destroyer. I like everything Isis did, that just happens to be by far my least favorite piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ah you guys probably don't see too many of these. But this is what we would call a gumbo thread. If they only knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That Isis/Aereogramme EP is better than anything I've ever seen you post about except maybe Pig Destroyer. That EP is fantastic. I could never get into Aereogramme, but I love what they brought to the collaboration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go read the post rock, Caspian, and Deafheaven threads to get an idea. He also has a way with 'analogies'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic_ Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 just curious what's your favorite? I don't know. I haven't spent much time with their discography recently so I would have trouble picking. I'd lean Oceanic because that's what got me into them and a great album, but the other albums are really great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I like everything Isis did, that just happens to be by far my least favorite piece. Really? I fucking love this song... it's like you're gliding through the clouds that rise above the darkened grey ruins of a dystopian future, somewhat hopeful, caught in a dream spell that only gets broken once you remember you're surrounded by monuments to a failed humanity. It's all in good fun. The dude just says some ridiculous stuff sometimes. Just go read the post rock, Caspian, and Deafheaven threads to get an idea. He also has a way with 'analogies'.

pablod85 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Panopticon is amazing up through In Fiction, and then peters out for me. The back half of that record doesn't hold my interest nearly as much as those first 3 tracks. Wow! I would've never thought that somebody would say this. For me, Wills Resolve is THE song of Panopticon. The last half of that song is possibly my favorite ISIS music. Not discrediting your taste tho, just found it weird coming from a fan of the band.

The last half of that song is possibly my favorite ISIS music. Not discrediting your taste tho, just found it weird coming from a fan of the band. i think, generally speaking, panopticon is probably the favorite of their discography. the production is perfect, the sound is generally accessible, and despite being a slow burn for the most part the payoffs are huge. in some ways it's one of their more inaccessible albums but usually that is the one i hear people say is their favorite. and so when you think of ITAOT, it is kind of an anomaly in their discography, it has a sound they never really did again with all the shard-like delayed guitars and songs that really felt like songs, as opposed to, i don't know, movements on an album (which is definitely the case for Panopticon, most of all). while i would encourage gumbo to return to panopticon again (and again and again and again) i can definitely see how ITAOT is pretty unique in their discography, and it is a very engaging album from the first listen. when it came out i thought it was for sure their best album, especially after Dulcinea being the lead single (and that song really is the perfect blend of more "song" oriented isis while still retaining their usual textures and heaviness.... but man those 7 minutes fly by). i'm not bashing anyone's opinion or anything, just sharing my love of the band, but man Panopticon really is such a perfect album. i think it still, to this day, has the best production of any ISIS album, ITAOT is a close second but when you put Panopticon on and just crank it that album washes over you like nothing else. altered course is probably my favorite on it, that song is such a great example of a different facet of their sound that they do amazingly. the whole album is mindblowing though, especially when listened through.

birdwell Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm worried that an A to Z pressing of this isn't going to sound that great....at all. These Czech Republic pressings seem to be an absolute crapshoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm flirting with the idea of getting in on this when it goes up as You Fail Me is probably my favourite Converge album. Jane Doe is what got me into Converge, and at the time I was pretty much going through a situation that made the lyrics feel like a biography, so I've always connected with that one more overall, but I think You Fail Me is the BEST Converge album. Not that there's really a weak point in their discography... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Not that there's really a weak point in their discography... This is why I'm flirting with the idea, I'm no variant hunter but buying one is likely to send me off into a tangent where I need one of each.

mcpherson123 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Most of their single LP albums can be found for under $15 and AWLWLB can be scored a little under $20 on the reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm aware Converge and Deathwish Inc. are really good for keeping things in print so it's not the difficulty of hunting down a copy of each album but more to do with the cost. 6 LPs @ $20 a piece +Shipping to the UK is a big investment.

mcpherson123 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 And your point is? Was simply trying to convince the poster just above the post you quoted that it wasn't too expensive to get all their albums. I just didn't quote him because my post touched the post of his which I was replying to. I'm aware Converge and Deathwish Inc. are really good for keeping things in print so it's not the difficulty of hunting down a copy of each album but more to do with the cost. 6 LPs @ $20 a piece +Shipping to the UK is a big investment. Didn't realize you were in the UK. That might be a bit more expensive. But check discogs.com and there might be some local sellers around you that you can get cheap shipping on.

whoshotthefrog Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There's gotta be a UK/Euro distro that carries DW/Converge shit. Throatruiner Records carries Deathwish/Converge records. They have some Converge records available. http://store.throatruinerrecords.com/products/search?q=converge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
