A revelation

A very interesting album given that it is supposedly the band's 'breakthrough' album in a lot of people's eyes. 'Lunar Force', 'Return to Yggdrasil' and the sprawling 'Neogenesis' are all staples of the band's creative talents, but it's really the atmosphere that was previously provided on albums like 'Mardraum' and 'Monumension' that truly makes 'Isa' the stunning work it is.

The old stuff is better then the new stuff

One of the greatest band i ever heard. They are coming in Montréal 22 Febuary! Lucky me!

Oh yeah, 10 / 10 album, no mistake.

I know I'm a bit of a latecomer on this album (considering it was released in 2004) but having just digested it I have to comment that I feel it to be an outstanding achievement by an amazing group of musicians.

Ascension

After release in 2004 I was forget to commend this Great Masterpice. I think this album 'ISA' will be shit progressive album with black metal elements.The fact this album is awesome. Into: Intro, Lunar Force, Isa, Ascension, Bounded By Allegiance, Violet Dawning, Return To Yggdrasil, Secrets Of The Flesh, Neogenesis, Outro: Communion. Enslaved. They are owning and make great atmosphere in this album.
All songs are awesome. 9/10.

Yes, it's a masterpiece. I remember wandering Metal Storm's hallways near the time I first joined and wanted to try out black metal. After a bunch of research I think I ended up trying Transylvanian Hunger and this album. Probably a wise decision as I've never gotten bored of this.

The band/album that got me into black metal. A rare, perfect album.

I've listened to this album hundreds of times since I first got it, and each time I listen to it, I still have to say "wow" at the end. Fucking great.

"Return to Yggdrasil" and "Neogenesis" are both incredible. Makes up my top 3 Enslaved albums with AEO and Below The Lights, although still need to check out Ruun and everything from Monumension and earlier

THis album and basically song Isa is why I know band, I remember video. Now I say like this, if you play so prog sounding, band needs use more clean vocals, as grows, its not BM anymore as it was and don't requires growling.

After all these years I have finally realized that the guest singer in Lunar Force is... Abbath. He sounds so much not like himself in this song.

Huh. I now must re-listen.

Up there with Axioma Ethica Odini and RIITIIR IMO. Tracks 2, 3, 6 and 8 are the standout ones.

Below The Lights and this have been a big step up for the band. I enjoyed this quite a bit though I'm sure I need more listens to get it as a whole.
