Interesting take on the album. I also bought the CD when it came out even though I was already expecting to be disappointed (the fact that they had left Hydra Head for a major label was definitely worrisome) and, indeed I was. I only bought it b/c I saw it at a record store on sale for 8.99 or something and I liked the cover art. I also bought their next CD, Perfect Pitch Black which sounds similar and maybe a little bit better. I don't think either of those albums are terrible but I never listen to them, and I haven't heard anything they've released since.

For their weeded out sound, Jupiter was their best effort and it was really popular back in the day. People compared it to ISIS a lot but I don't think that's a particularly good comparison.

For me, the band's best album is Until Your Heart Stops, which I suppose was metalcore but without eyeliner and other stupid shit that is now associated with that word.

And, no, I didn't know about how they picked their name. Cool fact!

This is probably my favorite Cave In song:
