Epistemological Despondency-First off, one of the most metal album titles for a cd. Very quality funeral doom, and the most revered of all funeral doom bands. Esoteric ironically has a very esoteric take on their material. The songs on some occasions escape the cliche "funeral doom" and go on to experimental material with jazz, death, and doom metal all mixed. I'm pretty sure one song had saxophone, but it might be one of their other releases. This Cd has gotten much praise, i personally prefer Ea more than Esoteric, but Esoteric is an excellent band to introduce someone to funeral doom. Their songs range from 10-30 minutes. Their 6 tracks are so long that it had to be released on 2 discs. I look forward to purchasing the release to see this artwork that makes your eyes go crazy. Recommended to fans of: Ataraxie, Ea, Imindain. Overall Rating: 7.5/10
The Fat Of The Land-A release i have grown up listening to. I've had really odd musically influenced roots. (From Bush, to System Of A Down, Prodigy, Rammstein, etc) This release is sometimes considered an industrial masterpiece, but prodigy goes very light on the industrial elements for this release and its all dance music. This is basically a compilation of all their best songs, because none of their other full length albums were good in my view and this was their best album that everyone knows. Everyone knows their songs somehow; "Smack My Bitch Up" was in the movie Charlie's Angels, and "Narayan" was the anthem for a wrestler in the WWF in the 90's named Viscera. I have basically memorized and know all the songs on this release, and it's fun to dance and mosh to, alot of breakbeat elements added into their music. Recommended to fans of: KMFDM, Rammstein, Industrial and Dance fanatics. Overall Rating: 9.4/10
Parade Of Chaos-A good zao release, but not in my group of favorites. This release was more of their progression era away from their industrial era ("(Self-Titled)") into the pure metalcore era ("The Funeral Of God") This didn't jump out too far at me, but it did have 2 key tracks i keep on my favorite zao songs list, "Suspend/Suspension" and "Angel Without Wings". I would say if you want to start listening to zao to keep away from this release until you know you will like all their material. Recommended to fans of: "(Self Titled)" era Zao. Overall Rating: 6.7/10
