And if I never heard of this band, and heard this for the first time tonight, I'd find it fucking awesome. But they're in such a high rep to me that's it's impossible to live up to it.

"I take it you don't like drone"



I like it when I feel like listening to it, just like everything. But not Sunn O))), I hate that shit, even saw it live, totally not my thing. More of a Nadja-style person.

I've been to their shows many times. I'm actually friends with the band. I know what to expect in their shows. Awesomeness; that and I know likely what the setlist would have.



and there's a good reason why they have that rep. you should know what the reason is.



I'm with you, I think they are the best band around atm too, but that's not a good reason to 5 an album you think has flaws, that doesn't make sense.

The ambience is part of their live shows, they've been doing that for a while now, and if you can't appreciate the ambience, then I don't know. I can understand your reasons to not liking it though, my wife had the same problem at first.

I'm not judging their musicianship or anything, just saying Sunn is definitly not my thing. Judging something that's not your thing is so close-minded, I don't do that.



5 also means that an album has alot of impact to you, which this did, and many of their other releases. It's a genre hard to get a fresh sound in, and they do it again and again, why shouldn't I 5? Starting listening to music from a new perspective thanks to Neurosis, that should be a 5 worth alone. Ratings are subjective to me, it's more of like how important they are to me.

You do realize I'm just giving you a hard time, right? I hear what you're saying, but seriously, I would look forward to ambiance when I see Neurosis. Their ambient songs are just as heavy as their distorted stuff.

well that's a good reason to 5 it. I thought since you said they had songwriting problems, especially on a track that's on this album that you think is the worst, then with that in mind I didn't see how you saw it as a classic with flaws.



and by the way I wasn't talking about Sunn

Hah, no I didn't realize. Yeah, I would like it on a different day. Still blame it on Ufomammut, full set of headbanging, way heavier than on album. If they're around in your town, check them out. But yeah, adapting to Neurosis after that was too hard I think, as most of their set was ambience.

I'd like to see Godspeed and Neurosis in the same day. That would be the pinnacle of my life right there.
