Synopsis

Album Description
Neurosis needs no introduction. The Bay Area's legendary masters of behemoth, psychedelic operatic guitar girth has influenced a wide array of artists and nearly singlehandedly defined vast extremes of heavy music popular today. However, now in its third decade, Neurosis' latest album finds the group's sound transforming yet again so dramatically that even to diehard fans, Given To The Rising might seem starkly different, a stunning reintroduction.

CD Reviews

Nerosis Continue In Prime Form
Concerned One | Clarinda, IA | 06/24/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Given To The Rising is a sonic slab that blasts it's way out of the speakers and into the minds of those who shall listen to it. This is by far one of the heavier albums Neurosis has ever made. Harkening back to bits of "Souls At Zero", but with newer feeling like "A Sun That Never Sets". Steve Albini has mixed an excellent album with Neurosis, and I hope that this combination continues for another 22 years. The Limited Edition is in a Digipack Sleve, ten tracks, booklet and lyric sheet. Neurosis also limited DVD Documentary on the making of this album available also, a must have for a collector, great to see the band give their thoughts on what they produced. Check this album out, a must own, and great intro for newcomers also.

They still do it better than anyone else.
Mike | Here and There | 04/02/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Neurosis has that distinction of being the progenitors of experimental metal. They've used their creativity and recognition to not only further their efforts, but to support budding musicians as well. This album isn't as outlandish as some of their other material, but it definitely goes to show that in rapidly expanding post-metal scene, Neurosis still does it better than anyone else.



The album is pretty rocking from start to finish and goes back and forth from ambient soundscapes to blistering chaos. The songs that stood out to me the most were the title track, Water Is Not Enough, To The Wind, Distill (Watching The Swarm), and Origin. I recommend the album for metal fans and highly recommend it for metal fans who're getting into groups like Mastodon or Isis."
Neurosis come storming back

"This brand new Neurosis album feels like rejuvenation after the last 2 albums this sparks the neurosis legend back to life, This is a dark shimmering masterpiece that would take your imagination for a trip to another time or something ancient it has an old world feel that would accompany a story or film about the dark ages or some great empires or wars, its an absolute peach if you like this kind of music. inspired 5/5"
