Controversial opinions on metal

[Bitencourt29]

ISIS> Neurosis

Agreed, can't wait to check their new one.

Agreed, can't wait to check their new one.

Wavering Radiant? Ya, I've been meaning to do the same. Just been soo busy with other releases though.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Yes, same here.

Don't think Neurosis suck, though. Isis is just a more interesting band imo, simple as that.

 

[divine_torture]

I still prefer Cult of Luna over either. Then Isis.

 

[Doomguy]

Michale Graves is just as good as Glenn Danzig.

Agreed. Famous Monsters is my favourite Misfits album.

Glenn Danzig is still awesome.

fuck Isis. they're like the faggot hipster post-rock version of Neurosis.

 

[Xorv]

fuck Isis. they're like the faggot hipster post-rock version of Neurosis.

Neurosis sounds the same on every single release. They have as much variety as toilet paper.

Isis are awesome and Oceanic pounds your head into mush.

Neurosis sounds the same on every single release. They have as much variety as toilet paper.

Toilet paper has a lot of variety tbh. Softer, thicker, more ply, less ply, different scents, patterns, I could go on for a while really.

 

[Xorv]

k..umm

NEUROSIS HAS AS MUCH VARIETY AS TOOTHPICKS!!

 

[The Butt]

k..umm

NEUROSIS HAS AS MUCH VARIETY AS TOOTHPICKS!!

toothpicks can be used for quite varied purposes

They are not merely for sandwiches or teeth-picking

This is blatantly wrong considering that Neurosis started out as a d-beat hardcore punk act, slowly added in elements of doom to create a sludge sound, threw in ambient elements as well as tribal music, and then just fucked shit up tons over their career.

It is ridiculous to criticize them for being samey across their discography because it is just not true.

 

[The Ozzman]

More like Gayrosis, amirite?

 

[Xorv]

So far I've heard through silver in blood, the eye of every storm, and a sun that never sets. Alot sounds samey to me. This opinion might change over time.....might.

 

[Mort Divine]

So you've heard three albums from a band that has 10 and you're going to say they all sound the same?

 

[The Ozzman]

Meh, I've heard one album and wasn't impressed. I'd rather listen to Isis.

 

[Mort Divine]

Which album did you hear?

And anyone who'd rather listen to Isis has absolute shit taste in music. Neurosis is what Isis aspired to be up through Panopticon, and ultimately failed to become.

I won't deny that I love Celestial and Oceanic though.

 

[The Ozzman]

And anyone who'd rather listen to Isis has absolute shit taste in music.

Oh okay.

A Sun That Never Sets btw

 

[Mort Divine]

>_> So you heard basically their worst of their sludge works. Check out Through Silver in Blood and Times of Grace (but with ToG make sure you have a synced version, with the Neurosis and Tribes of Neurot albums merged into one. I can provide if needed...)

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Richard is correct.

can't we all agree that old school maiden and priest slay and leave it at that?

 

[Satanstoenail]

Neurosis is what Isis aspired to be up through Panopticon, and ultimately failed to become.

I don't think so. Isis are coming from a completely different angle than Neurosis. The influence is definitely there, but I don't think they aspire/aspired to be them.
