#15 - Neurosis - Given to the Rising
When making lists like this you run into bands that are too influential. You can't just pick one album because all of them had a profound effect in the context in which they reside. Without Neurosis an entire sub-genre of music would be dramatically different. So how did i pick Given to thr Rising? I picked Given to the Rising because i feel comfortable with Given to the Rising. After adventuring through the unknown with other Neurosis albums, this one feels like home. It feels like a culmination of all those discovered territories, all the skills and techniques refined into a near perfect album. I would reserve the word opus though. After making so many fantastic albums i am more than confident the opus is yet to come. And i wait for it with undeniable anticipation.
