Isis is a pretty well-known band for what they are. Typically sludgy riffs, and usually an even pace to the music. But in later years they have been slowly making a transition. I think it's safe to say that the transition has come full circle with In The Absence Of Truth.ISIS Official Homepage
This cd is closer to post-rock than it is their original sludge. As such, it's really hard to compare this to most of their other work. But the album in itself is amazing in all ways, so there is really no need to. The drum work is extremely polyrhythmic and quite soothing at times. The vocals are very sparse, mixing harsh vocals with normal melodic-type singing. The guitar and bass still retain somewhat the tone of sludge metal, which is a big plus for me personally, and I'm sure for some others.
It's also one of those cd's that you really should listen to start to finish. It's not that the songs themselves aren't good to listen to individually. But the album is a piece of art in a sense. You don't simply look at one corner of a painting, although that corner may still be beautiful.
All in all, a very solid release from Isis. Whether or not it is their best, I can't say. But either way, it's saying a lot about this cd.
