Christmas starts
off with blending melodies and swirling guitars that
not only attack you with harmonized vocals, but just a
sonic flooding of colours. This isn't music you listen
to, it's music you dream in. Landscapes are created and
destroyed to the listener's ear and imagination. The
actual tracks alone almost could be put back to which
the band from which they were written, having members of
Isis, Converge and Cave In will do that to you. Tracks
like "Skullstorm", and "Tis Better to Recieve" are
more in the vein of Converge. Whereas tracks like
"Sleeping with the Snakes", "The Volcano", and "Caleb
the Cowboy" are more Cave In-style. But then you have
tracks that seem to push Isis to it's limits, bringing
back memories of Misquito Control and of course their
latest album Oceanic. These are songs to get lost in
people, not to humm in the shower or ride to work. Grab
some headphones and comfy chair, and find out where
you are.
