^^ not necessarily true of the Uncle Acid albums since, however
― alpine static, Friday, 16 September 2016 17:46 (seven years ago) link
Just saw Uncle Acid this week, and they were way better than I expected them to be - really tight band, really, and some of the newer tunes sounded better live.

Uncle Acid are awesome. "The Night Creeper" is particularly underrated. The Beatles gone stoner metal. Liking the Weakling album. It's a big dirty whirlwind of fear
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Friday, 16 September 2016 18:05 (seven years ago) link
Isis dont float my boat tbh
imo just in terms of the year it came out (and albums that brought a lot of people into metal) leviathan >>>> panopticon

there's stuff to like about triptykon! but it's still quite mundane (bear in mind all thrash ever leaves me utterly cold) and I'm pretty sure its placement is riding on the celtic frost hypewave. buuuuut I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would
oceanic really suffers for being first heard after panopticon, probably
grinning mouths is on the superior album panopticon lol

Wow, people really like Isis. I better get more on this thing. Interesting that they're doing SO much better than, say, Neurosis.
