J'ai entendu un foi et je l'aime beaucoup, meme plus que leur autres pieces de musique. Les tambours sont plus ferocieux mais Aaron Turner chante et seulement crie quelque foix. J'avais les doutes car beaucoups de personnes on dit qu'ils y ont aller dans le post-rock direction que tout les autres groupes dans leur style choisi, mais c'est plus le direction de Tool avec quelques elements de post-rock.

It's kinda like Neurosis's Times of Grace meets Red Sparowes with a glimpse of Tool in the drumming and a few of the riffs.

OK I'll do my best:

I heard it once and liked it a lot, more than their other albums. The percussion is more ferocious but Aaron Turner mainly sings and only screams sometimes. I had doubts because many people had told me they were going in a Post-Rock direction like every other band in their genre is doing, but it's more like in the direction of Tool with a few post-rock elements.

NB: When I said "I understood all of that", I really meant "I think I understood all of that :wink: "

Do you mean because your French is bad or because you use a strange dialect?

I can't tell... I can understand it but I don't know enough to tell when someone better than me at it has made mistakes.

I've always assumed my French was really bad because I never spoke it or wrote it in class except on assignments, and when I did and my friends always said they couldnt take me seriously when I spoke french. I blame my teacher for treating us like 3 year-olds, and we had him for the last 3 years of high school... which was dumb.

Then again I did get 80% on my french immersion 12 provincial exam, so either that was super easy or I'm better than I think.

Well from a french speaking canadian's point of view, I assure you you're writing is 100% understandable even though you have some slightly awkward structures in some places and grammer mistakes.
But hell, french is a difficult language to write, Kudos!

Tee hee hee

You may want to seek out Oceanic, since they have yet to top it. Panopticon is also very good, though.

I never really got into Oceanic or Panotpicon that much, I like my post-rock meets hardcore to be pissed off (Minsk, Neurosis) or depressing (Pelican, Neurosis)... to me Isis was always just epic and not much else.
