Warthur
For their latest sludge metal/post-metal offering, Neurosis offer up more of the same, and if that's all you expect or want from them I guess that's enough. However, those who prize Neurosis because of the adventurous experimentalism on display in Souls at Zero or Through Silver In Blood will struggle to warm to this release. With predictable, by-the-numbers tracks, the band seem to be going through the motions; the doomy riffs are like any other doomy riff produced by any other sludgey doomy band, the vocals feel anonymous and lifeless, and overall the band just seem unutterably tired. It'll tickle the fancy of their more uncritical fans, but I can't help but wonder whether they even want to be Neurosis any more.
