Veteran acts like Neurosis can only stay alive through constant evolution, and THE EYE OF EVERY STORM is yet another dramatic step in the Bay Area group's long, strange journey. Whereas previous albums could be considered studies in heaviness with moments of reflection and meditation, THE EYE OF EVERY STORM shifts the focus to a stronger emphasis on atmosphere and mood, with temporary squalls of heavy metal thunder punctuating the explorations.
Similar in spirit to minimalist post-metal acts like Godspeed! You Black Emperor and Isis, the songs employ instruments outside of the usual metal borders, with Moog synthesizers and pianos accenting the guitar, bass, and drums. The vocals of Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly have also changed, as the rugged bark of previous albums has mutated into a gritty gutter croon. All of this is not to say that Neurosis has lost its edge here; the mood is still dark and gloomy, and the flashes of noise that poke through the haze are as grand and breathtaking. THE EYE OF EVERY STORM is still intense; it's just a different kind of intensity, more internal and emotional than previous Neurosis efforts.

Alternative Press (p.130) - 5 out of 5 - "[E]very note of these long-form songs lands with dizzying impact."
The Wire (p.70) - "Neurosis combine Industrial aggression with Wagnerian pomp and a touch of slowed down, psychedelic blues."
CMJ (p.38) - "Neurosis' music steps outside of brash, inexplicable anger and one-sided dynamics on THE EYE OF EVERY STORM, wringing acrimony, regret and acceptance slowly from its dirges..." Neurosis Eye Of Every Storm Songs Eye Of Every Storm Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Great CD
Wow. Neurosis makes music with a somber atmospheric intensity. This new CD has some awsome songs on, especially Bridges. True prog-metal-hardocre stuff. There are no solos or fast kick-drum, but heavier than your average Metallica-esque band.

Excellent on the reeal
this disc has a lot more minimalism and quiet passages than even a sun that never sets. but don't get it twisted-its still neurosis doing what they do best, and that is defying musical boundaries. the one star reviewer fails to note that this is a logical progression of their sound and i would rather hear that than a retread of their old ideas in the fashion of so many other bands these days.

This cd is a truly masterpiece if u are into this kinda music.They are slow,droning,atmospheric metal.The music progresses in a good way.Some songs are heavy.The tunes are so great.Slower riffs,and gentle noise.If u are a fan of sludge,drone,prog(not that power/prog) or art rock I strongely suggest to u this one.Buy one of the best of 2004.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  THE EYE OF MY BALLS
As everyone knows (or should) NEUROSIS delivered 3 masterpieces: SOULS AT ZERO; ENEMY OF THE SUN and THROUGH SILVER IN BLOOD. These 3 albums are what many and maaaany bands just dream to sound like. They simply transcend music and, more over they are brutal, spectral and apocalyptic. Now I wonder what happened. How come these guys lost the touch? Why does their music sound apologetic? Yes it sound like they are sorry for something they have done. Unfortunately folks MY favorite band is incapable to play that great music they used to.

Eye Of Every Storm album
 $13.09   
Art-metal heavyweights Neurosis have been steadily perfecting the balance between heaviness and symphonic grandeur, and they may have gotten things one hundred percent correct with TIMES OF GRACE. While the term "progressive" might elicit groans from diehard headbangers, it's entirely appropriate when describing the evolution of Neurosis's sound. Songs like "The Doorway" ...

| | Neurosis Sun That Never Sets CD (2001)
Eye Of Every Storm music CDs
$12.15
The title of this release carries a current of sad irony. After well over a decade of dedicated touring and recording, Oakland, CA's acclaimed sonic trailblazers seem, indeed, with this disc, heading inexorably towards twilight. Certainly, there has been an aesthetic sea change, and a qualitative one as well; whereas once Neurosis generated an epic maelstrom of sound done better than anyone, that signature was pared down a bit on the previous effort, Times of Grace. With A Sun That Never Sets, Neurosis has taken it's newfound range, and a near Mahler-esque interest in the dialectical arrangement of quiet and loud dynamics, into even more reflective, contemplative territory. The plodding guitar and noise texture tsunami that characterized every album from Souls at Zero onward ...

| | Isis Oceanic CD (2002)
Eye Of Every Storm album
$13.59
Oceanic is the next logical step for Isis after the ugly, grandiose Celestial, the Aaron Turner-led outfit's second full-length looking simultaneously inward and outward, reaching into the nether regions of outer space while still keeping its feet firmly earthbound. Yes, it's an ambitious record, one that isn't immediately consumed and digested -- rather, it consumes and digests the listener with grand and hypnotic waves of sound. Songs blur together as aggressive, post-hardcore guitar riffery trades with lengthy, meditative bouts of electronic exploration, a technique that would result in plodding, pretentious mush in less capable hands. Instead, Oceanic successfully mirrors the dense, ...
| | Isis Panopticon CD (2004)
Eye Of Every Storm CD music
$13.39
If the glacial dynamics of previous metal and hardcore abstractions Celestial and Oceanic didn't prove that Isis was a heavy band in every sense, then Panopticon should do the trick. The title comes from 18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham's prison design, which was later referenced by Michael Foucault in the 20th century. The idea is that a centrally placed guard or watcher can keep track of a large number of prisoners, and it excited Bentham and concerned ...
