Murai, i am going to have to agree with you- but I wouldnt call them depressing, I find them to be caustic, abrasive, and at times bludgeoning. Still I dont know of many bands that are quite so postmodern, and truly progressive, as Neurosis- Neurosis is just too much for the music scene- they are too damn good- too abrasive and inventive- I can only hope they are re-discovered years from now by music lovers- it would be such a shame if they were forgotten.
For all the bands on Ultimate Metal- I know of very few that have a fraction of the imagination, guts, and talent, that Neurosis does.
