Tides - Resurface



Tides are very similar to Neurosis, Isis, Pelican, Ocean, Mouth of the Architect and other countless bands that have shared the post-rock metal crown for sometime right now. The difference between the other countless bands and the bands listed above, including Tides, is they are riding coattails and the aformentioned bands have the skill and songwriting chops that are a necessity when dealing with such restrained and powerful music. So like I said, Tides are definitely good for fans of those bands. They have no vocals, but keep things very interesting by repeatedly lulling you into a dreamy trance only to punch you in the gut again and again...

Let me know what you think of this one..

haha! i can see what you mean....on that note, i do find it slightly less engaging than isis or neurosis (or neurisis as it were), though i find much to enjoy in it when i am doing something like drawing or working and its not my main focus, and it kind of "colors the room" to steal a quote from brian eno...
