Honestly, I think that the collaboration with Jarboe was mediocre.  The woman's voice got really annoying.

All depends of course but I am definitely  more inclined to choose the latter, (to the surprise of no one LOL)

I do like TSiB, it has a 3.5 from me. It's just, kinda dull.
I respect it's major influence and innovative style for sure, but I just find their early stuff a lil dull really.

I prefer their more streamlined and atmospheric stuff. I know, such a wuss Embarrassed
Also, while their last 2 are pretty standard post metal they invented the genre so I can't give em flak for that.

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

mmmm I do really like that album.

I'm not surprised to see TSiB, ToG and early stuff get some love. I think I'll end up being the odd one out who likes their later stuff better!

My vote is for "The Eye of Every Storm"
Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

Well part of that is that Swans are one of my favourite bands ever. Tongue But really, I just love the whole ambiance of it.

Yeah "The Word as Law" isn�t bad at all. Just not on par with some of their later stuff. Interesting that you like the Jarboe collaboration album Colin. I wasn�t able to appreciate that one as much as I had hoped for. It�s of course still a good release though.

I actually like The Word As Law, but it's really not as good as their later stuff.

Absolutely Neurosis & Jarboe for me.  Runners-Up Times of Grace, Souls at Zero and A Sun That Never Sets.

Through Silver in Blood is fantastic!!! I love that album and of course it gets my vote. Times of Grace is a close second. Souls at Zero is also quite a special release IMO.

To me, Neurosis aren't only the first post metal band, they're the best of the genre.  I can definitely see Times of Grace influence in bands like Isis and Cult of Luna.  But my personal favorite is their darker sounding predecessor Through Silver in Blood.
