8Awesome music is the norm for [[Music/{{Isis}} this band]]; here are some of the highlights:

17* This is Isis' breakthrouh album, hearing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8NdU_qyf10 "The Other"]] should definitely convince you that this band has truly entered the realm of greatness.
18* It may be a short interlude track, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whWIoKKVIHw "Maritime"]] is lovely.
19* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM65v7jkeVM "False Light"]], especially the way it builds up into the what sounds like an incredible climax to the album as a whole.
20* The closing track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQWv60AmVW8 "Hym"]], sounds just as amazing.

23[[folder:Panopticon]]
24* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awg99tk6vys "So Did We"]] is possibly the most iconic Isis song, and with good reason.
25%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awg99tk6vys "Backlit"]].
26%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1bsz8own0 "Syndic Calls"]].
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVAnKLsaFAo "Grinning Mouths"]] is an incredible note to end the album on.

30[[folder:In The Absence of Truth]]
31* This album is slightly LighterAndSofter compared to the previous two records. If that sounds worrying, then listening to the opening track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV13mbD9cLM Wrists of Kings]] should ease those worries.
32%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX_J2mJjQS4 "Not in Rivers, but in Drops]].
33%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEuBxxpDeLw "Over Root and Thorn"]].
34* The closing track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVlNITMlyFQ "Garden of Light"]], is absolutely incredible.

37[[folder:Wavering Radient]]
38%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZdmF8l1ZK0 "Hall of the Dead".]]
39%%* No discussion of ''Wavering Radient'' awesomeness would be complete without mention of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv5t1KsVqnA "Ghost Key".]]
40* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3eYKiiDzm4 "Hand of the Host"]], which is possibly one of the best examples of song evolution in their discography.
41* Isis' main albums form a sort of continuous concept suite, which makes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtBlW-soukA Threshold of Transformation]] a finale for their entire body of work (though it wasn't technically their last song). There are very few better ways they could've capped it off.

44[[folder:Other]]
45%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdFuHeq3ybE "Relocation Swarm"]] from the ''Mosquito Control'' [=EP=].
46%%* Their [=EP=] ''The Red Sea'' often gets overlooked, but its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnEd5s4Pyuo title track]] deserves mention here.
47* Their 2010 split with Melvins gave us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aewuyb-8YVs "Way Through Woven Branches"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9EhHqqzJFQ "Pliable Foe"]], both of which are great tracks.
48* Though it was only a demo that was never used in any of their main albums, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI2-8I3j4Vg "Grey Divide"]] may very well be one of the best Isis instrumentals.
