Quietus by Forstella Ford

First released in 2001, here is the original description of the album:

Milwaukee's best have compressed the chaos and intensity of their previous offerings into an unstoppable assault of fury and beauty, and they can go from one to another with indecent ease. Imagine having a sumo wrestler do a pirouette and landing on your chest.

Quietus is Forstella Ford's 3rd full length. Not to sound cliche' or cheesy, but this; their third full-length, is their most ambitious work to date. It's not merely a collection of songs, but an entire work meant to be taken in all at once. The fury and intensity of past efforts are still there (including a rerecorded version of "Dying on Our Own Terms, which appeared on the LDC split) but the songs are allowed to breathe and build, and the result is so much more powerful than anything they've done before.
