A 4 isnt good enough

^Agreed. Only a 5 will do for this one. TSIB is to post-metal what Eyehategod's 'Take As Needed For Pain' is to sludge: the pinnacle of the genre.

well said

This is more sludge than post-metal, but yeah its the pinnacle

post-metal is still sludge just with more post-rock parts





still sludge

While there are elements of sludge in Neurosis' music, I'd wouldn't call what they do sludge. I just don't hear much similarity between them and EHG, Buzzov*en, Grief, etc.

fundamentally it is still sludge, just with more of a progressive sound and leanings to experimenting in ambience and post-rock-like structures, which makes their music different from traditional sludge.

This is still very sludgy. Maybe later albums not so much but this is definitely sludge.

I kind of disagree. Sludge is more ultra-slowed down hardcore which isn't really something post-metal involves. I mean this is definitely sludgy but the two are pretty different.

Not that genres really count for shit, I'm just being unecessarily pedantic.

But by doing that, they basically created an entirely new and different genre of metal. EOTS and TSIB are really the first true post-metal records, at least in my opinion. Most bands that we would refer to as post-metal have all, to put it nicely, borrowed very liberally from Neurosis.

I agree seb, but I was just describing neurosis' sound and the sound of post-metal as effortless as I did.

okay yeah I mean Neurosis used to play hardcore so it kind of goes without saying

I don't even know what point I'm trying to make anymore.
