REVIEW: ISOR - Post Mortem Peep Show Casket Music, 2004
9/10
ISOR - Post Mortem Peep Show - cover art ISOR's fourth studio effort finally managed to grow into a full length album. Their previous 3 EP's were sold through their website, but a Copro Records / Casket Music contract landed in their lap with "Post Mortem Peep Show". The record is a collection of songs written with irony and madness, fueled by tremendous anger for all that is found in today's society. Themes of all songs revolve around certain social conflicts and the way these guys chose to express their feelings about all this is nothing less than brilliant. Wave after wave of frightning and astonishing attitude, extreme paranoia, a totally new form of irony and confusion, powerful music filling the room. No choruses in any of the songs and no repeated themes in most cases either. The only thing that might come close to resembling a chorus is in "I Know What Rhymes With Orange". The compositions just flow from beginning to end, from one passage to the next, constantly changing attitude, feeling and rhythm. The fury that is thrown at you over and over, combined with the message and unexpected, sudden changes almost make you feel the paranoia in the first person. Technically these guys can take on almost anything in this area of music. Rarely do we have the chance of stumbling onto a band with so much power, taste, and so many ideas concentrated into 3 or 4 minutes of a song. All of this and even more from only a duo.
