Editorial Reviews
After two years of touring and consolidating their name amongst the top few hip hop groups in Australia, The Herd release their third and strongest album to date 'The Sun Never Sets'. With terrorism and increased conservatism casting a global shadow, it's time to get reacquainted with The Herd, one of the more insightful and consistently relevant groups in Australia. The Herd weave colloquial tales of ghostly country towns and world-weary urban dwellers, celebrating raucous highs and reflecting on the more sombre moments. Darker commentary on social upheaval converge with a sincere respect for war veterans and disillusioned peacekeepers. The same group that cried, "Wake up this country needs a shake-up" is more than capable of delivering subtle, multi-layered observations. The musical platform shacks up in perfect synchronicity with the vocals; slide guitars sunbaking under heavy bass backdrops; snares cracking like burnt eucalypt branches; accordions shaken and stirred by the thump of kick drums. Gatecrashing The Herd party are colourful and unconventional samples: bellowing trumpets, percussion and cello, juxtaposed with double-timed, multi-syllabic, multi-lingual dialects. Features guest rapper is Braintax (Lowlife, UK) plus Jane Tyrrell (Blades of Hades) and Megan Drury.

Pleasant to the neurons..........2007-03-02
The sound is dark and heavy, but not prototypical metal and for the most part NOT FAST! What?! Yeah - this is not your generic headbanging metal - this is moody, atmospheric, intelligently composed metal! In fact most of the album is instrumental and the majority of the vocals are delivered at a slow pace - whether in deep growls, harsh yells, droning whispers, or softly sung melodies. The drumming is very deep and tribal sounding - moving from quiet to heavy or simple to complex as the composition unfolds. The mixture of bizarre sound effects and keyboards creates a lot of the atmosphere and such instruments as the violin add to the beautiful texture of the album. The guitar work is wonderfully executed - acoustic melodies, distorted feedback, sludgy grooves, clean rhythm and solo work - all layered into the songs with purpose and precision.
Comparisons? Remember the dark mysterious track called 'Black Sabbath' that would become the name of the legendary band? This album contains that same sort of dramatic spooky effect. Elements of Porcupine Tree and Opeth can be heard, but a comparison to them could be decieving - Neurosis have a unique and distinguished sound. The sludgy guitars remind me of the stoner-rock band Kyuss - particularly on the final track "Stones from the Sky" - and don't let the last 40 seconds of the CD fool you...it isn't your player messing up...it's just part of the sound effects...
RECOMMENDATION: If you are an open minded music lover and enjoy not just the heaviness of this album, but it's diversity also then you may enjoy a late 60's/early 70's progressive band called It's a Beautiful Day (you can read my review on their debut album). For the heavy music lovers...well...you probably already know about Opeth! ;)
This is brilliant.......2006-03-08
Still Going Strong After 7 Albums..........2006-02-09

Neurosis is an aural force that is basically unmatched in the world of heavy music... They have laid the seeds for such bands as Isis, Pelican, Red Sparowes and countless others. This being their 7th album they further explore the multi-layered textures of music, pushing the bounds of sound...
The Vocals of Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly have never sounded better... Their dark, almost Tom Waits-inspired singing accompanied by thick screams and yells blends a powerful vocal force to be reckoned with. On top of them the Tribal Drumming, the Crunchy Guitars, thick low-end Bass, and the variety of other instruments such as Violin and Keys only further add to this dark textured atmosphere. Neurosis sinks you in like few other bands can... What is best about Neurosis is their music is modest and less pretentious than many other `progressive' bands. They choose to slowly build lush layers of beautiful, yet heavy soundscapes instead of all-out flashy musicianship.
Neurosis is best enjoyed when other distractions are not present, A nice walk with head-phones on... or lying on your bed with the lights out and the tunes blaring...
Neurosis is the "Napalm Death" of Post-Metal and have spawned countless other bands so if you like any of the previous mentioned bands or any of today's modern post-rock/metal be sure to check out From Where Its Roots Run.... Neurosis.
Favorite Songs: Falling Unknown, The Tide, Stones from the Sky and Watchfire.

And the burning sun shines on. .......2005-09-06
Now, when I say "metal," throw out your normal expectations of metal, including classical/pentatonic fretboard runs, lyrics about Satan and death, and endless blastbeats. A Sun Never Sets is more concerned with texture, using a sense of sparse minimalism and repetition to achieve gradual, swelling impact. Tracks frequently stretch out to 8 minutes or more, taking their time to unfold and develop into epic soundscapes. The distorted guitars are augmented with keyboards, viola, and Jason Roeder's thundering drums as Steven Von Til and Scott Kelly's harsh vocals paint images of nomadic cultures and cracked earth under a burning sky. Repeat until soul is either nourished or destroyed (depending on your mood)..
After a brief intro, The Tide throws the listener deep into Neurosis' ravaged world, its chanted vocals, slow-building melody, and explosive climax an excellent summary of the band's sound. The closer Stones In The Sky begins with ominous tolling bells and develops into one of the most shattering conclusions of any album I've ever heard--a wall of sound raging against the final darkness. In between you have tribal interludes, bleak dirges, and bizarre, experimental sounds.
In other words, a classic. Fans of brilliant, emotive, progressive music (metal or otherwise) MUST have this one.
