Isis, Wavering Radiant

US, 2009

Their most polarizing album so far. Depending on who you ask, fantastic or craptastic. Wavering Radiant sees Isis drifting away from sludge ever so slightly and embracing some more traditional progressive elements. It will still grow on me, but I think its their best work since Panopticon.
