Neurosis - Fires Within Fires ALBUM REVIEW

[@yellington]

"Have to overcome their lack of girth...with solid performances". Story of my life, man, story of my life...

[@nickhurst4772]

Classic review of through silver in blood

[@cthulhu3227]

Neurosis have been putting out consistently good albums for decades but that album just cannot be fucked with.. I'd also put Times of grace right up there with it as well

[@marxman6896]

Unpopular opinion: Souls At Zero is Neurosis' best album, much better than TSiB or Times of Grace.

[@nickhurst4772]

DJ_Marxman honestly they've put out so much good shit if someone's fav wasn't TSIB I can't argue haha

[@fox8945]

My favorite metal album of all time. Would love to see this or _Times of Grace_.

[@Exgrmbl]

+DJ_Marxman It's my favourite as well. It has a sound and style that's just really unique and quite different from later releases.

[@deloreanized]

I think TIMES OF GRACE is... everything. That's NEUROSIS. To me, it's impossible not to use that album as the equator/peak/reference point to go back and forth through their massive discography. That said, I believe they are constantly growing as artists, gaining consistency and expanding the scope of their canvas record after record.

[@whotfareyouay]

Red flannel, but 8/10 Consider me confused

[@SM-qe4wd]

Love your metal reviews!

[@xxxWolFangxxx]

I agree, not enough of them

[@slaydesaid8741]

Well, he called the latest Ghojira album "bland", so I am not too sure that I rate his metal opinions that high. Also, he hasn't even reviewed the Inter Arma record at all, even if it's probably the best sludge/doom metal record to come out in a long while, so for metal reviews I go elsewhere. On another non-metal note, I also expect him to disregard the new amazing and highly regarded The Dear Hunter album ("Act V"), as I don't think he likes progressive rock at all. Oh well, I still find this site good though, but primarily for noise rock recommendations and the occasional experimental hip hop artist such as Death Grips or Danny Brown.

[@joneatsglue1689]

The latest Gojira album did kind of suck tho

[@michaelgreene6926]

P

[@funeralopolis1]

It's one of my favorite Neurosis records without a doubt. It's astounding that they continue to get fantastic after being together 30 years. Definitely Gods of metal!

[@blueberrygold4819]

Sometimes I like to pee outside rather than use the toilet.

[@ThomasBemak]

me too!!!

[@deaddoggo9198]

same

[@dynamicsamurai3803]

You fucks !

[@ThomasBemak]

Be free! Be freeeee!!!

[@jeffsingleton88]

Always

[@jakemaybrier9184]

You need to do a classic review of Through Silver in Blood.

[@patrickbertlein4626]

haha they INVENTED the damn wheel, don't think they need to worry about reinventing it.

[@transcribeded]

You know it.

[@bleepybloopy]

Where was Cal during that entire 50 minute video?!

[@Noirissime]

dude your picture, best can album

[@CashewChestnuts]

workin on bangers

[@SecretGerms]

great album, yes, but 'tago mago' is their masterpiece.

[@liolioliopaque2403]

I guess Fantano never heard 'A sun that never sets' they had the folk influence since then and before..

[@spencerjames3551]

One of the band's members, Scott Kelly, wrote and performed the score for a Hamlet production put on at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival this year. It was one of the coolest things I've seen. The metal worked really well. Can't wait to give this band and album a listen.

[@LBP15]

who's excited for the 9/10 on atrocity exhibition? That, or a 5. Who knows!

[@ssajjess]

its a ten...

[@marcobazan4187]

it honestly deseves a 9/10. White lines is the only song i found a little annoying out of 15. So 14/15

[@ocalaballa]

witnessed

[@LBP15]

WE DID IT FAMALAM FUCK WIT ME

[@sergeantspence3771]

Neurosis deserves classics week treatment

[@davida1165]

Anthony should start reviewing music videos

[@MrGatward]

He has, guessing he didn't think it was a good business move to continue

[@Evergrimrecordings]

I'd love to see more reviews like that Corey Feldman one, tho.

[@MrRandalFlagg]

That shit was hilarious!

[@cxsism5127]

the rap critic already does that

[@Nokitron]

@CxSism and really horrible at that

[@patrickbertlein4626]

Glad you pointed out how many bands are hiding behind distortion and effects, this has been a major issue for the past few years. If you can't write riffs and write a good song, do ambient music.

[@maximosmagyar9653]

I did not expect you to like this at all.

[@matternicuss]

I've honestly never thought of Neurosis as a 'sludge metal' band. To me, they're simply 'Neurosis', and defy easy categorization.

[@seanzawko09]

I agree. Neurosis, done!

[@DihStyle69]

do a collab review with dehh for that danny brown tape. thanks

[@adrianasura6328]

Reviewer: *Says Honor Found in Decay is a dud* Me: *Stops listening to reviewer.*

[@SirJenkz]

I hope you aren’t like that in real life. “Hey man did you like the new Neurosis album?” “Yeah man, it was really good! There was really one song I didn’t care much for” “Ok I don’t want to listen to your opinion anymore”

[@transcribeded]

This is a good review and an excellent Neurosis record. Their best since Sun That Never Sets, for me.

[@OriDomshlak]

If not for The Eye of Every Storm growing on me, I would have to agree

[@madisongoodman6877]

Neurosis' last stand. Damn.

[@VideoChaolan]

Where's the campaign review tythony dollatano

[@ERMO6627]

AOTY, Stealing is such a good fucking song

[@stickyickybandit]

Can you review Royce Da 5'9's "Layers" album

[@jonathansawa6027]

*REVIEW CAMPAIGN BY TY DOLLA* *IVE BEEN ASKING YOU FOR 4 DAYS NOW*

[@nicolaslauret6463]

Are you going to review the new Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam collab ?

[@samuelblinne6040]

Love neurosis

[@Anotherguy_99]

I've missed you so much Cal. Please, never leave us 😭

[@matthewwinslow4291]

Always enjoy watching your reviews. Just wondering if you're planning on reviewing the new Francis and the Lights album? That guy is super talented and has been working so hard for so many years. And he dropped his new supposedly breakout album last week and it is getting practically no coverage by any review sites and I don't understand why. I think it's one of the best albums of the year if not the best. Just curious to hear other people's opinions.

[@sebastianvonp1467]

amazing album!!!!! I really like its shortness! Reach is a great song (loving the double vocals)

[@mrbonzoorubber2]

I like this record a lot been a fan of theirs since Pain Of Mind

[@MrRandalFlagg]

You're on fire on this one. I literally had to check if the video's not playing too fast.

[@griffin-rl]

Hey man you gonna review the new sticky fingers album? They are a grotty Australian band and their third album comes out today. I'd love to hear what you think ❤️❤️❤️

[@pan-semitistcommunist4181]

Where is that Danny Brown review at?

[@ImethIaddictI]

Hey Anthony, have you ever listened to any of Cobalt's stuff? I've never heard you mention them before, but they seem like a band you'd be into.

[@lukinhassilvasilva]

You will review the new Opeth album or the new Alcest Album?

[@UnderneathTheRadar03]

Insomnium - Winters Gate review Anthonysis Neurotano

[@catfishmilkthesaddrummerbo8439]

Hey Anthony, Kid Cudis new ablum comes out tomorrow I bet you are just sooo excited to listen to it because you are such a huge cudi fan.

[@raghavgrover4176]

Hey Fantano, when do you plan to review (and profusely shot on) the new Opeth? :P

[@grundlehunter69]

Excellent video Grampthony Skrilltano.

[@100PercentJoseph]

[@PreedReve]

Could you please review Savlonic's new album, Neon?

[@TheHeroMaxus]

Jesus, those thumbnails from old videos are confusing as fuck.

[@cielosordo]

Review Oathbreaker's "Rheia" because there's an AOTY contender.

[@ObrienHouseProd]

YESSS i have literally emailed the melon twice about that record and he hasn't mentioned it in any weekly track videos grrrr

[@cielosordo]

He has shared videos of "Rheia" on Twitter.

[@ObrienHouseProd]

oh well thats good. he better review it. its so fucking amazing.

[@jackp.walker6247]

. . . AGAIN . . . a BRILLIANT review ! Much appreciated !

[@jaketaz2848]

that's an astute observation about modern metal production being used as a crutch, and I totally agree. The nice thing about music such as this that is produced in a bit older style, is that if it doesn't have enough "girth" you can just turn it up or worst case scenario also turn up your subwoofer. But there's no way to decompress or dynamicize music produced in the modern compressed style, other than getting it on wax in the hopes that it's a more dynamic master.

[@CoppockC1]

Hey I'm really interested to hear your opinion on keaton henson's newest album! also farewell, starlight!

[@CONGTHEGUERILLA]

That red flannel is tripping me up. Is that an ironic 8 hipsterny mantano

[@yesitismejesuschristyourar657]

Will you review the new Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman EP?

[@lelusa4298]

Aye man, time for a Sirens review ?

[@dujl]

Is Anthony going to review The Violent Sleep of Reason?

[@loreleikrauch9661]

[@joshfox7239]

if you like it you definitely need to check the rest of their discog. Most consistently amazing band ever

[@fcoll9123]

I just wanna know if they have "punchy guitars" and "shimmering synths".

[@keatonwastaken]

i love you fantino

[@user-pc9jq5qe9i]

fantango orange

[@FollowBetulas]

Any chance you'll review Every Time I Die's Low Teens? It's much much better than From Parts Unknown

[@DuBziDriFT]

"And honestly, I wouldn't really hesitate to recommend this new record either" he says hesitantly.

[@Sharatan737]

Hey man, could you do a review of the new Opeth album; Sorceress? Really curious what you think of it.

[@passionateintrovert]

Maybe review Inter Arma's latest offering? A very very good sludge record!

[@vanhohenheimelric4384]

Danny Brown 10 10 10!!

[@cnixn]

Review the new Slaves album, Take Control?

[@cc5920-p7f]

Aye, Anthony! Have you you heard of Isreali electronic producer Alon Mor? He recently released a project titled _Fighter_, and I recommend you check it out! It's exceptionally heavy yet quite groovy and utilizes both synthetic and (what appears to be) some live instrumentation.

[@vakidd2013]

Can you review MNDSGN's BODY WASH album?

[@yoshicity1723]

hey anthony! you might really dig the new ab-soul track "huey knew" have a good rest of your day mr. melon

[@garywhite4411]

Great review. Definitely a new favourite from them. Agree with Broken Ground being the best.

[@transcribeded]

Amazing track.

[@AeonsOfFrost]

I too have overcome my lack of girth.

[@garywhite4411]

Lustmord, Slaves, Oathbreaker or Danny Brown next please!

[@hextallhextall]

@theneedledrop I agree with you about this album but totally disagree about your last review of Honor Found in Decay; Fires is just an extension of Honor both are amazing!!

[@chupakabra1989]

i would love to hear your review of the new Oathbreaker album !

[@multard]

I'd love to see a list from you of your favorite Doom and Sludge bands and albums. Just a thought.

[@mykedrought]

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Fantano: "What should I review next?" 1) A Seat at the Table by Solange Knowles 2) 22, A Million by Bon Iver

[@Krigarar]

A suggestion that you might like: Oathbreaker's new album 'Rheia'. Give it a spin.

[@jackbrown4697]

A Shadow Memory is your least favorite? It's one of my favorites on the album

[@AlexissSuxx]

PLEASE review the album 'Mount Ninjie & Da Nice Time Kid'.

[@seancrawford4786]

New Sum 41 track. You're gonna love this one

[@EresTremulent]

I was overall similarly satisfied with the album, but the last song kinda left something to be desired. I was missing some of the grand moments that previous albums had.

[@arminvanbuuren883]

Review the new Nicolas Jaar album pls!!

[@marcni]

you have some work to do: danny brown, nicolas jaar, bon iver

[@jc7192]

i like your thorough review. i will say, though, that Honor Found In Decay isi amazing too. I'm not sure why you don't like it so much. At The Well is epic. Anyway i enjoyed your review.

[@Metalmara]

Please make a classic review of Günther - Pleasureman

[@FromHellDesigns]

More metal reviews!

[@steveman1823]

Hard for Neurosis to make a bad album. You should check out the new Oathbreaker album.

[@longviolinfilms]

I give it a stronger 8, but hey I've been working out

[@netseh5586]

You should review the new Opeth album

[@martinknap8466]

Review the coming Sonata Arctica album.
