They've come back to the thickness and rawness of their old school sound, because 2007 was a year to be thicker and rawer. New record will be the modern-age holocaust, because 2011 is a year to cleanse and recreate the world.

i dunno, TSIB is more intense and chaotic, but I don't think it goes to as dark and ugly a place as Given to the Rising... Through Silver in Blood sounds like a tumultuous alchemical transformation in some nether realm teeming with ayahuasca entities or something... Given to the Rising sounds like a soul crushing itself inside of its shell until all that is left is a void...

there's no way that this album is the weakest since world as law, what are you talking about? Given to the Rising is very good, it's a 9/10 Album.(Given to the Rising, To the Wind, Water is not enough, Origin, Fear and Sickness, Hidden Faces) it's on my top 3 Neurosis Albums: Through Silver and Blood The Eye of Every Storm Given to the Rising

@Riffdissonance no I'm unable to contradict myself. I'm going to have to say their worst album to date. It feels uninspired and it's just bland. It has some fantastic moments, no doubt. But Neurosis's older albums destroys this one.

The lyrics, the atmosphere, the apocalyptic heaviness, just feels like the end of the world...like how it ends with origin

@ crossdressinate: could you contradict yourself any more in one paragraph? Such bullshit.

Yeah, this is Josh's best artwork with Neurosis so far. The full open booklet of the CD version is pretty amazing and that extra detached part quoting Jack London just gives the perfect final touch.

Great album, I think the artwork in the sleeve is probably Josh Graham's best too

My favouite. I think it has the best mix of beautiful post-rock and crushing sludge, seems the most organic and it feels atmospheric the whole way

That album cover looks like an antlered statue of a horse that you can find on the Hősök tere in Budapest. Saw it a few times.
