I tried on multiple occasions to get into Neurosis. “Souls at Zero,” “Enemy of the Son,” “Through Silver and Blood,” “Times of Grace.” None of them every really connected with me.

]]> Comment on Neurosis – An Undying Love For A Burning World Review by Radarhttps://yourlastrites.com/2026/04/13/neurosis-an-undying-love-for-a-burning-world-review/#comment-10058 Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:43:14 +0000 https://yourlastrites.com/?p=59595#comment-10058 Great writeup Craig.

I felt the same way when YOB put out “Our Raw Heart”. Effusive praise from all. Everyone but me could hear Mike Scheidt’s near-death experience in audio form. I feel like it’s their weakest album.

Death of the artist is a dangerous folly but I feel like we can also lean too far into feeling like we can fully understand an artist solely through their work.

(FWIW I love the new Neurosis and would probably rank it a scooch above “A Sun That Never Sets”)

What an amazing group of songs, so dynamic! Equal parts rocking and beautiful, with those gorgeous vocal harmonies soaring right in that range I love so much (Anubis gate). Really good stuff, so glad I finally heard that one

I just can’t get into the dibba dooba dibba dooba vocal style.
