Sorry, but aside from the drum intro that ain't live by a long stretch.

...bit too much of the overproduced bland pop thing for my tastes too.

Hi Alan,

The band performed with a click track, enabling me to use the studio recording of the song as I did not have the proper equipment to record sound on a live stage.

Saw these guys at Oppi. Seemed like a bit of a shoddy rip off of Muse to me.

All of these guys are actually some seriously good musicians, you can hear the theory booming out of them. Unfortunately, they have gone too poppy in my opinion, but who can blame them? 5FM was not gonna play their old stuff which was more progressive and less poppy.

So although I don't really listen to the band anymore (this song in particular sealed the deal for me) I respect them as muso's and I understand their reasoning for everything.

I challenge anyone who thinks this is good to just go listen to MEW.... just go listen to MEW.

Isochronous were for me a bland very rehearsed shell. They manage to hook alot of emo hipsters with there pretty vocals, but there shows quickly degrade to a bunch of fake emotion and arm flings .... to a load of ridiculous solo's.

Yes they are probably great musicians, but htat is wasted in this group, and technical proficiancy alone does not result in a good act. What they lack in my opinion is authenticity.

Random note: there is another video of them in germany where you can count the band fling their arms in the air over...... 35 times!!!!!!!!!!

I saw these guys at the Red Door in PMB a few months ago. I was flawed by their technical skills, and their sound was fantastic. I haven't heard anything from them in a while, so hopefully when I hear them again at Synergy in CT I'll still like them!

I agree with the comments on the arm flinging.. it was kinda rediculous live. Also in between each song the singer says 'F*** YEAH!' about 7 times. He needs to work on finding something more intelligent to say! Otherwise I really digged em!
