Isis’ most uniquely “Isis” album. Fucking massive.

This album is absolutely beautiful.

I will admit that I’ve teared up to “From Sinking”

Excellent choice. I’m pretty surprised this didn’t make the list, to be honest with you. A modern classic.

I wasn’t too keen on the album but after reading that i think i’ll give it another shot

Me too. Loved the first ON record, but Year of the Rabbit was very inconsistent.

Fantastic Planet is a goddamned masterpiece.

Agreed. Still their best, and in my top ten of the decade, no doubt.

That isnt reconciling at all. Who is he trying to make happy in this? He is just letting everyone know what he would have liked to be on the list.

A Sun That Never Sets should be in a top 20 list of the last 20 years, never mind last 10.

Good album, but if it’s Isis we’re talking about, i prefer Panopticon. Or even Wavering Radiant, now that i think about it.

Pretty fucking amazing album that should of made the list, and i agree that neurosis should also have totally made the list somewhere.

I liked Isis better when they were called Neurosis. Sorry but no mention of Neurosis on this “List” is a total mindfuck. They’ve influenced everyone, from Mastodon to Gojira, Cult of Luna, Isis and countless other drone/doom bands.

I’ve tried and tried. WR just doesn’t do it for me

I wish a lot of other albums made the list, because as it stands that was the worst top 21 best metal albums list of all time.

It’s a great album, no doubt. Wonder if you’ve given Wavering Radiant time to soak into your pores, though. I consider it their masterpiece.

would never call myself a fan of this band but of all 4 songs ive heard by them the best came from this album

awesome review. got a related feeling when I listened Oceanic for the first time – it’s like a slow blues jam, only it’s metal and damn massive. gets you hooked immediately. I’ll listen to this and Panopticon forever, even though I don’t like their other albums. no prob — what they did in these two is more than enough to keep their names in metal history.

Amen to that brother. DT is one of the best kept secrets in metal, each and every one of their CDs is awesome… every album has a different flavor to it (folksy, thrashy, electronic), but all of them kill.
