Neurosis - The Eye Of Every Storm, 2004 Vinyl LP Album x 2 Neurot Recordings - NR-033 17. Neurosis - Honor Found In Decay, 2012 CD Album Limited Edition Neurot Recordings - NR085 According to none other than myself, Neurosis has three distinct era: the hardcore of the 1st two albums and EP, the experimental anger with lots of doom and noises of the 90s, and after that the sad and melancholic waves of sweet long stuff. I will eternally be a fan of the hardcore era, from the straight forward classic punk thrash of Pain of Mind to the more Blast-like sound of Word As Law. For something completely different, the following anger/doom albums are amazing too - the high point being the evil monster Through Silver In Blood. Then I started to get bored with the sad stuff. It is musically excellent, but they can't sing and it ruins it for me. You need actual singers to perform on this kind of musical landscapes, not depressed lumberjacks who lost their axes and saws in the pond where suicidal angels come to drown. According to Church Of Zer standards, you are allowed to use a death metal growler on your sad music if he has the class of the guys in Temple Of Void or Esoteric, or else Peter Steele. But not his post-bar fight whining. Too bad because most of this stuff could match the Sonic Mass from Amebix, but it does not because the Baron sings beautifully, lui. That's why my favorite of this era is the awesome album featuring Jarboe, who sings like an angel about to dive in thick black waters without a snorkel. This album rules! Then there was that tedious, bore fest of a show I attended a few years ago, which did nothing to revive the passion. Neurosis ruled, and they probably still do, let me know if the last album is worth a try for non-insomniacs. Remove brackets and unzip: [zer of mind] !ZER Neurosis ZER! MRR readers should read this. Glad I stopped buying that crap zine in 1987, surprised it still exists - yeah, now on the capitalist interwebs with their own capitalist website! |

ReplyDeleteThanks for your posts! I must say, I am Alchemy records fan from the late 80's, so of course I like the earlier Neurosis stuff better. Cheers!!!
