Isis - Oceanic

Isis Oceanic:

One of the best albums about the sea ever. Isis wrote the book on conceptual, artist, sludge and ever since people have been ripping off this album. But what most copycats fail to do is make their records as engaging as this one. What really sets this album apart is the use of female vocals. Rather than shoehorn it in, they slyly mix these into the back of the mix, making them heard but not the center of attention. It's a nice juxtaposition to the harsh yells. Perfect for a day at the beach when you're tripping.

Rating: 15/15 Primordial Sea Beasts
