To my dismay, Neurosis decided to continue the more Industrial, tribal direction they explored on Enemy of the Sun. Gone are the Doomy leads and emotive atmospheres from Souls at Zero and the songs here employ overly repetitive, sample and industrial based soundscapes that end up boring and numb more than anything. The base rock music is bare and simple, and industrial noises are overlayed to give it the illusion of density and complexity, but a slightly focused mind will notice these same noises repeating over and over and over, gnawing away at one’s patience as they fail to build anything epic or moving.
Each transition basically switches one repeating industrial noise/sample for another, alternating between way-too-boring plodding drums or tribal beats. The guitars do little aside from add fuzzy ambiance in many places, what riffs remain are usually boring and uninspired.
The album is also filled with boring song sections or interludes of just samples and noise, breaking up the boring music with even more boring sections of people talking.
For how long and “varied” the songs are, they never seem to go anymore. What’s more, while it is arguably a very negative and oppressive album, it doesn’t really build any mood or convey emotion very well. It’s just a lot of plodding around, fuzz, and tribal madness that mashes together and comes out a dull gray on the other end.

This neurosis album changed the lives of many metal heads. Myself included. The shape of the metal scene was changed in fact. Starting in California and bleeding it's way outward. Years later, I hear the influence of this monumental album in the music of my favorite bands. Mastodon brings Scott Kelly (vocalist) into the studio to cameo on multiple albums. It's respect. I've heard his voice in a Converge song. I'm sure he's all over the place now. And it's because this album, when it dropped, it dropped HARD and influenced metal sub genres outside of doom itself. The tracks entitled 'Through Silver in Blood' and 'Locust Star' are stands out for me but the whole album is... possibly flawless. Three thumbs up!

서서히 고조되는 느낌이 장난 아님. 아방가르드 메탈로 분류되지만 Nine Inch Nails나 Ministry같은 인더스트리얼 메탈에 가까움. 평단에서 극찬을 받는 명반이지만 개인적으로 선호하는 스타일의 음악은 아님.

the music isn't bad, but in didn't impress me much - sometimes it's boring. Maybe later after several hearings

90년대 가장 위대한 앨범중에서도 최소한 메탈에선 정상에 있다고 생각한다. 그로테스크함 그 자체가 농축되어 있는 기괴하고 고혹적인 앨범.

hudba na tomto albume je postavená na striedaní tichších pasáži so zvukovou hradbou, štýlovo pohybujúcou sa v sludge/post/doom metale doplnená o rev dvoch hlavných spevákov

One of the best Sludge Metal albums ever to be made from one of the best Sludge Metal bands ever to be born.
