One For The Road-Nothing much to say about the release. It's an unheard of demo by doom metallers Trouble. Contained stuff not on other albums, but nothing too memorable about it. Recommended for fans of: Sir Lord Baltimore. Overall Rating: 4/10

Run To The Light-Mid-era album by Trouble. Released post "Manic Frustration"; this release contains quite a bit of the Jimi Hendrix sound they had on the earlier release mixed with alot of their old material. Again, another Trouble release that didn't make too much of an impact on me when i listened to it. Only memorable when you hear the CD, but not after the fact. Recommended for fans of: Jimi Hendrix & Black Sabbath. Overall Rating: 4/10

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned-The wierdest release that i listen to and actually like alot. This is probably the creepiest when it comes to atmosphere and vocal stylings. Heavily avant-garde, artistic lyrics. Recommended for fans of: Avant-Garde indie & The Blood Brothers. Overall Rating: 8.3/10

Back And Forth-One of the more beautiful post-rock releases i have in my collection. It's very contained but also has floods of emotion that just fade in and give you the chills, as if there was an outer body being (in my religion, God) touching you. I listened to this over in over while lying in bed with a smile on my face. The music is uplifting and i thank my friend Gary for saving one of the last copies he had left to mail me. Recommended for fans of: Godspeed You Black Emperor! & Sigur Ros. Overall Rating: 8.9/10

In The Absence Of Truth-1/3 of my top 3 favorite Isis releases (soon to be 4 once i hear "Wavering Radiant"). This one concentrates alot more on intricate drum work, guitar atmosphere, and singing with moreso occasional screams. Like Parabstruse (above); I would get floods of emotion when I sit in bed listening to this. The artwork is amazing and like nothing i've ever seen. Recommended to fans of: Parabstruse & Pelican.
