  I disagree, the first real transition towards post metal is Souls at Zero, not later. This is the second album with Steve Von Till, and the first album where they really go into those long more elaborate songs, with different instruments like violin and trumpets. It's not as complex as what Tool would later do (and still be called post metal), Neurosis is more raw, and more visceral. But it's already there in Souls at Zero. The issue is that the production is a bit lacking, and the first real Neurosis crazy heavy wall of guitar is Enemy of the Sun. But Souls at Zero already has the apocalyptic atmosphere, it's just a lot colder sound and high pitched sounding (especially the guitars) than on the later albums. The best Neurosis albums, that fans usually prefer (at least the european fans that I know better than american fans), are the period from Souls at Zero until Times of Grace. These 4 albums are masterpieces, with almost nothing to throw away. A Sun that Never Sets starts a new period for the band. Dave Edwardson doesn't sing anymore, there are many more post rock parts, fewer instruments, it's more simple and melancholic rather than apocalyptic and explosive. So the explosions, when they do happen, are more noticeable. The Eye of Every Storm is even more simple, almost empty, or rather barren. We also lose almost completely the industrial samples that Noah Landis used to have. At this point, a lot of fans were a bit confused about where the band was going, diving so much into post rock. So it almost feels like they tried to return to their old nature with Given To The Rising, except in my opinion they quite failed. The production is weird, and although they try to go back to something raw and promordial, it feels weird. I never listen to this album. While I still go back to A Sun... and The Eye.. And then we get to Honor... the worst album since The World As Law. It's not awful, but it's like the band doing a parody of themselves... We All Rage in Gold for example, is just a bad song, with the uninspired riff, the awful post rock parts, the weak singing... The album still has Albini's amazing sound for it, but that's all. There are some good moments, but it feels long, tired... Like the band has no energy and not much to say anymore. At this point I had given up with the band, but luckily Fires within Fires still showed the band had some energy left. It felt like a nice little fun album. It's quite short for Neurosis, and it's straight to the point. Good riffs, good energy, although still that apocalyptic vibe. It's probably the last record the band will ever put out with the Scott Kelly debacle, but I'm glad it's not a terrible one. Overall I still listen to Souls, Enemy, Through Silver and Times, those albums are eternal, and nothing has come close since in terms of intensity and power, except maybe This Gift is A Curse - I, Guilt Bearer (check it out if you want a really angry Neurosis).

  the "REVERB" knob on the holy grail is a mix knob. at 12:00 the dry signal is 100% and the wet signal is 100%. beyond 12:00 you are removing the dry signal. with the knob all the way right only the wet signal gets through, which might surprise some as being mainly high end*. the reverb knob on your amp does not mix the dry and wet signals like the holy grail does, which is why it sounded different. *(if you make two copies of your signal, phase invert one and send it through a Fender Reverb Unit, then sum them, you will see the wet output of the FRU is actually mainly high end).

  My favorite thing about Neurosis is that if I'm not mistaken, Steve von Till is a middle school teacher when they're not on tour. Imagine growing up and getting interested in metal and then realizing your teacher fronted one of the most amazing bands to have ever existed. Sad I have to talk about them in the past tense, but we can all thank that to Scott Kelly.

  1:40 out of every comment ever said on a youtube video, this is probably the one that did not age well beyond all such other possible comments. Damn. That said, still love them. Maybe love them now that they are just flawed humans and not gods? Also to be fair, they peaked with the unholy trinity (which is fitting, really) Enemy, Through Silver, and Times. THAT is peak Neurosis, and all three are quite different. I have a tattoo that combines Times and Tribes albums, its basically the back of the shirt and the image on the tribes album. One of my favorite tattoos!

  I agree with your wonderful encapsulation of Neurosis. I think they might be the greatest band in the world. They certainly played the most impressive concert I have had the privilege to attend. It was in Melbourne before the release of Fires Within Fires so it was something of a best of concert. It was the most extraordinary concert I have attended. It was like being present at the cosmic Big Bang. Slow percussive start then the crushing riffs! It went on for 2 hours, pummelled by the massive sound. Clothes vibrating and flattened against you body, but the noise crystal clear. I am still in awe of what I witnessed that night. I've seen hundreds of concerts by all the big names ranging from Tool, NIN, ISIS ,The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and many more, but Neurosis made them all seem miniature. I'm an old guy and consider the Soft Machine , Magma and King Crimson as favourite bands but Neurosis puts them in the shade. (maybe not Magma). I was rapt and still am. Fuck!!

  Have yet to hear an AI master that retains or improves Emotive impact. It usually sounds flat. It's almost as if they're just sending a song through a converter on some auto-setting that might work for multiple genres, and then going, "okay, it's done!" Once AI can do something as impressive as Ted Jensen, or even somewhat close, I'll become a believer.

Not literally, just that I feel that's when they really found their sound, or the sound that I love from them. Literally every song on every album from that album forth, has been gold.

  Quite funny as I’m extremely careful but when taking my 8th gen NUC apart to put into the same case the Wi-Fi section on the motherboard came off so agree with what you say about it not being so easy.Bluetooth is fine. First time I’ve ever had that! After using it for windows I’ve been getting annoyed by poor USB Wi-Fi dongles. Found an adapter that lets you use the NVMe slot for a Mac wifi card so when that comes this week I’ll make the same system you have but with native support for airdrop etc. The fanless setting is not for this case. It basically turns off the fans in the normal case but massively throttles the performance. You can actually push the NUC in this case more than the normal case. There are various tips on the exact temperature ranges to set but you need to create a custom fan control profile. Lots of good guides on the net and that should stop the crashes you are getting.
