Both are quoted in the liner notes, bookended by aerial industrial photos laying out society's open sprawl. Aaron Turner is still howling and growling, but he's less reluctant to actually sing, just as the music is more inclined to stretch out into Pink Floyd's velvet atmospherics, which were a part of Oceanic, too, but just not as pronounced as they are here.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "A breathtaking balance of instrumental maelstrom with devastating, near-elemental power - this is music for titans.", "PANOPTICON slowly constructs walls of impenetrable sound, an Isis trademark....As each song grows ever more crushing on PANOPTICON, Isis rebuilds itself, evolving with each Darwinistic step.", "Light and dark melodies supported by coagulating, heavy arrangements remain the key ingredient in L.A.-via-Boston psych-metal quintet Isis' eight-minute iron curtains of sound on PANOPTICON.", "Isis creates high-concept, staunchly progressive heavy metal....Like a brutal argument, it's emotionally draining but ultimately rewarding.", "PANOPTICON sees Isis carving off sprawling slabs of cyclical riffery in more sparing portions, making their force-of-nature heaviness all the more effective as it diffuses seamlessly into a cinematic post-rock galaxy of ringing notes and electronic ephemera." - 5 out of 5, 4 stars out of 5 - "PANOPTICON consists largely of instrumental chunks of Mogwai-style post-rock that those with long attention spans will find utterly rewarding."
