Frodus – And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea
While undoubtedly going out while on top of their game, Frodus released the amazing And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea in 2001 which was their final album. Oddly though the record was recorded in 1999 and the original label that was supposed to release it folded. The record remained in question until Fueled by Raman was kind enough to put it out. It’s a good thing they did, as the album is widely considered to be their most amazing work and to me personally is one of the best post-hardcore records ever.
The album was an eye opener to a lot of fans of the band as they had all but abandoned their original sound, which had often led to the group being associated with the spazzcore genre. However, And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea was a completely different animal. The album showed them experimenting a lot more and sporting a sound that on the outside was toned down but proved to be incredibly complex and a challenging listen as well. The band had taken such a large jump that they did the unthinkable and pretty much surpassed the expectations that fans or anyone else had for them.

I am pretty sure this album is no longer in print; however it is available on iTunes for anyone that may be interested in that. Otherwise, check around for used copies and whatnot.
