Roughly twenty years ago today Neurosis dropped this 68 minute post-sludge monolith that is the sonic edging. They ramp up the tension, the listener keeps waiting for the train to go flying off the track, the levee to break, the volcano to finally go all Krakatoa... but it never really does. This was my first album of theirs based upon Jupe's review and some near 20 years later remains one of the only ten albums I've scored a "10". Don't listen to it often, but I enjoy it thoroughly each time I do spin it.
