The music itself is where it's at w them.
and for those who complain about his "singing"... it's 90% music and maybe 10% singing from what I remember.

EXACTLY...if those that slam ISIS would actually take the time out to download some of thier tunes and get the lyrics, they would see how good ISIS really is. first off, THEY OPENED FOR TOOL! second, they're named after A GODDESS! and as far as the music goes, well structurally its amazing, and as far as the singing goes, yeah thier older stuff is pretty screamy, but the way he sings is totally unique, and the lyrics, well, heres the lyrics for "From Sinking" from the Oceanic album (one of thier best).........
His time there so long
His fingers trace the endless walls he knew so well
And there the breaths were short and hard and thick with salt
And in this place he always knew he'd awake alone
Hands clutch in panic
In this place we built of sand homes that caved
The walls were weak with salty tears
Through the cracks in these walls he saw the sun
The sun dripped through the cracks and died
Shadows managed to betray
Like liquid was the sadness
Until into the light he stepped
In this truth he knew himself to be
From sinking sands he stepped into lights embrace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~DIG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
