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. -------------

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. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

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

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

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. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

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

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! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I usually prefer aggression over atmosphere and that�s probably why I like the 90s stuff more than the later albums. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

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

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