#8 - Enslaved - Isa
As we approach the top of list i've dug myself into a group of bands that are so good it's nearly impossible to pick their "best" album. Enslaved have had six full-length records since the year 2000 and all of them are superb. This is a band that has no conflict being influenced equally by emperor and pink floyd, by Mayhem and King Crimson. When you have that big of a spread between musical influences you have a lot of ground to cover. And Enslaved push full speed ahead writing brilliant music with a sense of tact and modesty, which is rare to find in the realm of the progressive. I picked Isa because it has the most memorable moments for me. And this just means more content stays with me from Isa than any other album. A lot of people would disagree, but that's what makes enslaved such a great band. Each album is geared toward a different audience and i honeslty suggest you go out and listen to each one to find out which is the perfect fit for you.
