Moving from Boston to Los Angeles hasn’t exactly turned these metalgaze kingpins into hair metal airheads. Since the relocation, they’ve issued one record examining surveillance and privacy (2004’s Panopticon) and another about the nature of perception (2006’s In the Absence of Truth). Wavering Radiant is a refinement of their signature sound, alternating between forlorn and explosive in epic scale. "20 Minutes/40 Years" and "Threshold of Transformation" close the collection with a bang.
