are the in the top 10, of all metal albums. up there with SANTUARY...

they have it tough. it shows inthe music.
 
Well, the first cd sounds more like speedy punk.and screaming out of tune.

I really like the song on my sampler.Ill look at it later and see what the title were.

All the songs on the cd I got have good intros, but it goes all to hell after that. The guys cant even play on the 1st one

The re-issue I have is a double cd, the second is half live, and the other half is their demo. The maincd suked so bad, I havent even put the bonus one in the player.

So, which cd by the band would you recommend?
 
They changed their style after the 1st one. Get Times of Grace or The Word As Law. Those are my 2 faves of theirs. If you don't like really slow, painstakingly-developed, layered music, you won't like Neurosis. I'd categorize them with newer Alchemist, if you've ever heard them. They aren't EXACTLY the same, but similar.
 
Hell yeah, I love doom. Thats what the one on the sampler sounds like..pure doom........DOOM ON MY FRIEND

Thanks for the info.....

Have you heard Cathedrals first one, well, the demo too? They are both some of the slowest coolest doom you will ever hear.

The demo is In Memmorium
The first full length is The Forest Of Equalibrium

If you get IN Memmorium..get the reissue.its got 5 live songs on it
 
Alright, one of my favourite bands! I'll go in reverse chronological order:

A Sun That Never Sets is the closest thing they've done to doom. It's really mellow in comparison to their earlier efforts. The songs are out of this world though, and once it grows on you, it never lets go.

Sovereign, as the name suggests, celebrates their liberation as they finally start their own record label, Neurot Recordings. It's a four track "mini-album" clocking in at over 33 min (longer than some band's albums anyway.) There is also some trippy multimedia visualization stuff on the disc. The music is a natural progression from Times of Grace to A Sun That Never Sets. The music is heavy, brooding, yet aural.

Times of Grace is my favourite album. It's also their heaviest album. It just does things to your brain that other music can't. Really too brilliant to describe in words. You'll have to hear it for yourself. They also released an album called Grace under their alter-ego group, Tribes of Neurot. These two cds are designed to be played simultaneously on different stereos. Nothing short of mind-blowing.

Through Silver In Blood is probably their most popular release. It finds them really expanding on the tribal/spiritual aspects of the group, almost filtered through the realm of metal and industrial. Like every other album after it, it's original, groundbreaking, and utterly captivating.

Enemy of the Sun. While not as focused and consuming as their later releases, it's quality metal through and through. The final track, "Cleanse," is a fifteen minute tribal drumming onslaught that shouldn't be missed.

Souls At Zero has Neurosis still heavily relying on their hardcore roots. Again, this album was part of their development into what they are today.

The Word As Law. Relatively unfocused. More hardcore than anything. Similar to Souls At Zero, which was released in the same year.

Pain of Mind was Neurosis' first release. Kinda raw "bay area" hardcore. I think they were still in their teens when they released this.

Anyone who likes Neurosis should check out ISIS. Celestial is one of the most original, transcendental albums I've ever heard. Mandatory listening.

Cathedral rules! Endtyme is supreme. These guys haven't made a bad album to this day. Still Say Solitude Aeturnus is the best doom band ever, though:p

Alchemist kick ass. Organasm and Spiritech smoke!
 
A sun that never sets is th esong i heard. Thanks for the info

I ve noticed you are a Cathedral fan too..I have all their stuff, all ep's and full releases, plus some of the reissues. Im too worried about all the reissues, but i did get the static magik/soulsacrafice reissue.its easier to listen that way,, I can have more cd's in my changer from other bands.
 
Neurosis_With_Neurot_-_End_of_The_Harvest..
