 There’s a way and a way to digress (musically speaking)... a new cosmos welcoming you, start exploring it for a few seconds, only to be dragged back to the surface just as you seem to understand what was happening to you.

 It’s a challenging album, unpredictable, one of the most difficult to embrace among those produced by the band. But... it’s also one of the most beautiful.

Isis’ Wavering Radiant is a complex and challenging post-metal album that pushes the boundaries of the genre with progressive and ’70s influences.

Highlights include guest artist Adam Jones and standout tracks like Ghost Key and 20 Minutes/40 Years. Dive into Isis’ Wavering Radiant and experience a groundbreaking journey through post-metal’s evolving soundscape.

 A very ugly word, I know: 'commercial' pop rock, abandoning the good mix of hardcore, emo, metal, and rock that characterized them before.

 'Tales Don’t Tell Themselves' remains a mostly predictable product, which is not expected from a band of this type.

This review critiques Funeral For A Friend's 2007 album, 'Tales Don’t Tell Themselves,' for abandoning their earlier hardcore, emo, and metal influences in favor of a predictable, commercial pop rock sound. Despite some strong tracks like 'Into Oblivion' and 'The Great Wide Open,' the album fails to deliver a memorable or compelling experience overall. The concept of a shipwrecked sailor is noted but underexploited. The reviewer expresses disappointment, preferring the band's earlier work. Discover why Funeral For A Friend’s 'Tales Don’t Tell Themselves' sparked mixed reactions—read the full review now!

 A lot of desire to experiment and a restless urge to create, which, however, do not completely lead to the hoped-for results.

 The desire to experiment slightly gets the better of Duda, causing him to somewhat lose the coordinates of what, with a little more attention, could have been a great album.
