The post metal side is the best side of sludge tho
and I've jammed a couple of their albums since the Scott debacle. I'm attempting defiance in not letting that spoil my enjoyment of their music (I realise this can be futile in certain scenarios, but so far so good)

Yahhp totally understand the feeling. YWGWYW by Daughers used to be one of my favorite albums ever, and I still like it, but not as much as I used to, and I miss that. That also applies to Neurosis to some extent.
I hope not to come off as an asshole, of course the people involved in these stories had it worse than us.

What makes it worse is that it was going on for many years and he pretended that nothing was wrong.
That is the essence of a bad person. He had so many opportunities to stop, to reflect, to seek help, to admit he has a problem, but he chose to continue.

Definitely the best on here, the screams are haunting. Purify is my favorite so far tho

This and the remastered version of The Word As Law are the only two Neurosis albums I come back to (and occasionally Enemy of the Sun). The rest just never jump out at me when I'm thinking of playing something by Neurosis.

Does that mean ISIS were always the superior Post Metal/Atmospheric Sludge band?

Sounds like you don't really like atmo-sludge / post then Willie. I do enjoy TWAL a fair amount also, but it's not up their with my faves (and EOTS is bottom 3 for me)
does what mean that? Both are essential, which is all that matters

I don't. Too much build time without enough payoff for me most of the time. It's the same reason I don't like most the post rock stuff (but love God Is an Astronaut's brief post rock style).

Sludge is post-metal's silver lining and not the other way around tbh

the majority of sludge I dig has post-vibes so will tentatively disagree until you (maybe) explain because I may have misinterpreted this
|

Name three great post-metal albums that have no sludge influence, and then name three great sludge albums that have no post crossover
One of these is much easier than the other

I agree with Johnny + Willie but also Evil, pretty much all sludge I come across that is grimier/grindier/louder is by far superior to any of the atmospheric sludge/post metal I've heard save for Neurosis and ISIS and a few tracks from bands here and there. Still haven't been able to super click with Cult of Luna

Okay woah there lol, atmosludge is still GOATed at its best and easily worth the modicum of patience it demands - just think it's a glass canon genre with a small set of champs, and that sludge as a whole has much more to offer than post metal maybe

Hmm, not sure I can actually name 3 post-metal albums without sludge influence full stop... any examples? I guess the two are intertwined almost inseparably to me and I'm not a big sludge fan (by itself)
So yeah, there's probably more notable releases, maybe I just don't really care for them? I guess.
Thou is cool tho

I'm being a lil facetious here because Feedbacker and Choirs of the Eye are the best albums in the genre if you include them, but neither parent band is rly associated or representative of post metal (and Feedbacker has enough stoner crossover that it gets a pass on lack of sludge)
But otherwise, cull sludge/stoner/anything equivalently gnarly or noisy like the Angelic Process from post-metal and you're left with Agalloch and a bunch of flaccid blackgaze acts. And um, like, the Pax Cecilia - no shade, but not exactly a sales pitch
|

Sludge is post-metal's silver lining and not the other way around [2]
Yeah, the rest is just souvenirs , Angelic Process etc
Choirs should have been representative of post-metal though :3
