DarkSideOfLucca
06.02.26 | It took me like a full year of listening to this band to really get into them tbh
It didn't click for me personally until I got to Wavering Radiant, then I worked my way backwards and really understood |
Hawks
06.02.26 | Amazing band yes. |
Christbait
06.02.26 | They get better as you go. Don't worry if your personal ratings don't reflect the majority. I think your appreciation for them depends on which album you start with, honestly. So keep an open mind as you continue since they do change up quite a bit by the time In the Absence of Truth rolls around. |

06.02.26 | You should’ve listened to Mosquito Control and Red Sea before jumping into Celestial. Also give SGNL>05 a listen if you will. |
gabba
06.02.26 | Their first 3 albums are flawless, the best 3-album run in the ISIS/CoL/Neurosis discog imo. There's not a weak moment on Celestial, and it goes much harder than the rest, it is quite different. |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.02.26 | I mean I like Neurosis way more but yeah all 3 bands are fucking incredible, some of the best bands ever |
budgie
06.02.26 | jam pelican instead |

06.02.26 | Wavering Radiant is their best, closely followed by Panopticon. Celestial is a grower. |

06.02.26 | Oceanic and Wavering are my top dogs |
gabba
06.02.26 | Interesting, I like Wavering the least. It's good, but not the level of their earliest ones. But maybe it'll grow on me later. |
Brabiz
06.02.26 | Listened to the first track off Oceanic while on my break at work. Much more interested in hearing this one. Was worried this list would be a Sput nuke with how Celestial went. Don’t want Hawks showing up at my house or some shit. |
Hawks
06.02.26 | Hahahahahahaha |
Brabiz
06.02.26 | My mileage with post-rock / metal varies. So we shall see. I’ve tried numerous times to get into Neurosis and it just never happens. Kind of frustrating actually |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.02.26 | I mean yeah all of these post bands didn’t click immediately with me, but now all 3 of them are like in my top 20 bands of all time (neurosis being #2) |
bighubbabuddha
06.02.26 | Neurosis latest album is easily AOTY, check it if you haven't bro |
Hawks
06.02.26 | Neurosis is my second fav band of all-time. |
bighubbabuddha
06.02.26 | Neurosis are in my top 50 hahaha. Man music rules |
Demon of the Fall
06.02.26 | It took me 15 years to fully appreciate Panopticon. If you like variety and find the vox boring, then Oceanic may be a better bet.
simplistic breakdown...
Big 3 post-metal = top 10 bands of all time, the only metal bands placing this high these days
non top 3 post-metal = gonna struggle cracking top 100... unless I give Fall of Efrafa a pass despite only releasing one post-metal album lol |

Brabiz
06.02.26 | No way, this band put cameras in my house!! |
IsisScript80
06.02.26 | They're frickin' incredible.
I've listened to them in real-time since around 2003... setting up a listening marathon in order to "get" them, seems needlessly fraught and pressurised. |
