my younger brother just bought this, i'm seriously impressed with him
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)
how did he find out about Neurosis?
― djmartian, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)
Through me, when I lent him/ordered him to listen to my copy of 'A Sun The Never Sets'. He's gotten into Isis, Katatonia, Opeth and other alternative metal acts through his friends. But yeah, he loved ASTNS, and so went out this lunchtime and bought the new one! :D
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)
*That Never Sets, obv.
i'm currently listening to this, actually, and it's brilliant.

Warrior poetry spoken word interludes are a plus, if you ask me.
OTM

i quite like this album, and enjoy it more overall than the two that came before it
however, sometime about 7 years ago i became infatuated with a record called 'through silver in blood', and have been holding every neurosis record up against it since. only 'times of grace' really came close.
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 14:45 (seventeen years ago)
i should clarify that i know 'tsib' was released in '96, but i got into the band well after the event, and subsequently had a lot of backtracking to do.
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 14:47 (seventeen years ago)
I think this is their 2nd best record actually.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago)
whoa big call! but one that i'm sure is well founded. the title track that opens the record is magnificent
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 14:59 (seventeen years ago)
I play this album all the time and havent got tired of it. Same with TSIB when it came out. 2007 was excellent as long standing bands like Neurosis, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Ulver released some of the/or at least close to the best stuff they ever made (IMO)
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 15:17 (seventeen years ago)
i agree with your observation about high on fire and think that 'shadows of the sun' is ulver's greatest acheivement since nattens madrigal (which seems like an eternity ago) so yeah. the latest electric wizard is still yet to floor me. but i need to listen to it more.
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)
You do, I think it's the equal of Dopethrone
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 15:46 (seventeen years ago)
listening now. 'dunwich' is an awesome track
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 16:23 (seventeen years ago)
The album is chock-full of awesome tracks.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 16:24 (seventeen years ago)
more spacy and less immediate than the likes of 'dopethrone'. not as thick or layered or heavy. but still pretty good, definitely.
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 20 March 2008 01:26 (seventeen years ago)
I revived the EW thread yesterday too :)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 20 March 2008 01:37 (seventeen years ago)
haha i noticed
to keep (loosely) on the topic of neurosis, does anyone think that scott kelly's vocal contribution on mastodon's track 'crystal skull' is one of the best things about that album? i do.
am listening to 'times of grace' now. this band really is a powerhouse. very controlled, but very, very heavy
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 20 March 2008 02:41 (seventeen years ago)
the last minute of 'locust star' on through silver in blood threatens to take your head off
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 13:53 (seventeen years ago)
actually the best way of describing 'locust star' is that it's like being sucked into a massive pit.
and another thing about this band is that the vocals are absolutely fantastic.
