PoodleRapist
09.07.12 | SYMBOLIC ACTS
SO VIVAAAUUUUUD
YET AT THE SAME TIME
WERE INVISIBLE |
PoodleRapist
09.07.12 | and that crystal mountain riff is bad ass, but without judgement at 1:46 smokes everything. everybody knows that |
Atari
09.07.12 | So what does this band sound like? |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Kind of progressive Thrash with Death vocals. |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Captain are you ok? |
Atari
09.07.12 | Oh cool didn't know they were thrash. I'm checking out Tourniquet right now but I'll listen to them later. |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | They are Death Metal, but Death Metal is really close to Thrash. |
evilford
09.07.12 | lol captain
yeah check out Death. probably can't go wrong if you like almost any kind of heavy music. rules so hard. |
Keyblade
09.07.12 | THERE WILL BE ZERO
TOLERANCE [2] |
evilford
09.07.12 | Chuck was the man. RIP |
someguest
09.07.12 | all the songs are equal tbh |
evilford
09.07.12 | true none of them are worse than great
I just think the title track and Perennial Quest are on an entirely different plane of amazingness |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Atari check out The Philosopher, one of their best songs. |
Atari
09.07.12 | @Viper, ok. ha damn getting lots of recs today can't keep up. |
evilford
09.07.12 | also check out Human and Symbolic! objectively two of the greatest albums ever made.
you know, when you have a chance...it is important tho... |
KILL
09.07.12 | "Kind of progressive Thrash with Death vocals."

ViperAces
09.07.12 | How would you describe Death Metal? |
Atari
09.07.12 | He might be right Kill. Below is from wikipedia so there is def thrash influence in death metal.
"Building from the musical structure of thrash metal and early black metal, death metal emerged during the mid 1980s" |
KILL
09.07.12 | extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
KILL
09.07.12 | lol of course but to say death is thrash metal is p dumb |
NoMeansYes
09.07.12 | Wikipedia is truth |
Atari
09.07.12 | listening to symbolic now and I can hear the thrash influences for sure. gotta be honest tho this is my first time listening to death metal. |
evilford
09.07.12 | Zero Tolerance is your least favorite?!???? aghhhh! |
evilford
09.07.12 | Death got me into DM and I couldn't be happier about it. if it happens you probably will have Death to thank.
because Chuck was the coolest dude ever RIP hard |
Atari
09.07.12 | Cool. I like agalloch but not sure what genre they would be considered. |
evilford
09.07.12 | from what I've heard of Agalloch, dm is nothing like them, they are mainly black metal I think
I have heard the Mantle though, great album, I need to get their other stuff sometime too |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | agalloch is like folk black post metal kinda not even close to dm |
Atari
09.07.12 | agreed the mantle is amazing. |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Death Metal isnt Thrash Metal but its the closest genre I could think of atm. Just listen to Misanthrope and tell me it dosent sound Thrashy as f uck. |
Atari
09.07.12 | Dude death sounds thrashy as fuk lol. |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | their earlier stuff is more thrashy and their later stuff is more proggy but yea |
KILL
09.07.12 | the first 2 death records are thrashy cos death metal was still developing but by symbolic its all dm BRO |
KILL
09.07.12 | damn you insurejufdc |
Atari
09.07.12 | I'm just saying I think its comparison to thrash is fair. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Metal lives |
Yazz_Flute
09.07.12 | This is kinda backwards
Symbolic
Perennial Quest
Crystal Mountain
Without Judgment
Empty Words
1000 Eyes
Zero Tolerance
Sacred Serenity
Misanthrope |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Symbolic #1? That's the only song I know (need to get whole album, discog, be m/ etcetcetc), but whilst it was very good, it wasn't as good as I'd expect the best song on an album this 'classic' to be |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | just listen to the album every song is a classic |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | I will
but
I'm waiting for some stuff to arrive (Neurosis, Anathema), and then I want to get the new Gathering album and PTH - Fortress and Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit and then loads of other stuff
but I will |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | symbolic is better than all those but ok |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | It probs is (even Through Silver in Blood?), but I'm still too hyped for the others to hear it |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | yea its the best album ever |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Listen to Misanthrope/Empty Words. First songs off of Symbolic that I really loved. |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | id say without judgement/crystal mountain those are the catchiest imo |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Is it a grower, or just awesome on first listen? |
Atari
09.07.12 | I'm guessing it's a grower ya doesn't sound amazing to me on first listen. |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Grew pretty fast for me,. |
Atari
09.07.12 | @Viper I haven't even listened to the whole thing yet but Perennial Quest is my favorite so far. |
evilford
09.07.12 | Symbolic vs TSIB omfg my head just blowed up |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | tsib isnt even the best neurosis |
evilford
09.07.12 | First time I heard Symbolic it pretty much blew my pants off, insta-5'd
it's stuck good too still top 3 albums I've ever heard |
evilford
09.07.12 | yeah it is |
evilford
09.07.12 | I mean opinions bro |
evilford
09.07.12 | I mean but yeah tsib is best neurosis also probably in my top 3 all time |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | what's your fave neurosis, insurrection?
am working slowly through neurosis chronologically, starting from souls, so by the time I'm ready for Honour found in Decay, it will have been out forever |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | the eye of every storm, tsib rules hard but its kinda overrated |
Atari
09.07.12 | Damn I actually like crystal mountain surprised you put that at 9. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Well, when albums receive as much praise as tsib, they normally can't not be overrated. Hopefully, that doesn't apply here, coz I'm seriously hyped |
evilford
09.07.12 | TEoES is probably a lot of people's favorites here. I love it too. you can't really go wrong anywhere, that's why ultimately there might not even be a clear-cut best neurosis, cuz they rule so hard at good music it's too hard to choose.
my favorite is TSIB but I also have 6 albums of theirs at least 4.5d so... |
evilford
09.07.12 | first time I heard TSIB, all of it was awesome, and then Purify came on and holy balls...hopefully it does the same to you.
then it just continues to get more amazing over time. |
Insurrection
09.07.12 | i thought it was pretty boring the first time honestly. first neurosis to click with me was souls at zero then times of grace. theyre all sooo good tho |
evilford
09.07.12 | that's what a lot of people say man, it's weird...I love all neurosis but tsib blew me away from listen 1 and it's just continued to be amazing ever since |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Yeah, Souls clicked with me pretty quickly
Ford, what did you think of Enemy of the Sun? |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Crystal Mountain is great, but the least memorable for me from this album.
|
Atari
09.07.12 | heh ya I'm on my 2nd playthrough so we'll see what stands out this time. |
evilford
09.07.12 | honestly, Enemy is probably my least favorite of their Souls ----> era, but I still love it, 4/5. kind of a grower I think, a little inaccessible, but it has a couple of their best songs on it. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.07.12 | Yeah, I like it, but not nearly as much as Souls, it's still growing a bit tho |
evilford
09.07.12 | yeah Souls is so good. that's the funny thing about Neurosis, if Souls was really their best album and nothing else had come out, they would still have been a pretty good band in my book but they had to go and make like 5 more albums that were somehow just as good or better, wtf |
evilford
09.07.12 | and I'm sure a lot of users would argue that Enemy is just as good as Souls too. |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | Through Silver In Blood is a really cool track. |
evilford
09.07.12 | agreed it is extremely neat-o |
ViperAces
09.07.12 | What genre are they considered? |
KILL
09.07.12 | crossover |
evilford
09.07.12 | Atmospheric sludge/post metal |
Atari
09.07.12 | sticking with a 4 for now, I'll probably bump it up after it grows on me.
agreed that sacred serenity is great. |
Decapod
09.08.12 | This album transcends space and time. |
