Absolute Classic "five stars +" The four stars was a typo!.......2006-04-17
I've had The Eye Of Every Storm ever since it first came out, and I'm sorry I'm just now posting a review for it. I am a HUGE music fan, and my taste in music covers a wide range of artists and styles of music. This recording is one of the VERY BEST I've ever purchased period. It's actually my favorite cd of all time. This is a brilliant record, an instant classic that should be placed among the ranks of Dark Side of the Moon, but will probably never get the recognition it truly deserves. Everything about the album/cd from it's packaging, to of course the music itself sets a mood and pace that is both relaxing and somber, and keeps the listener at that level for the entire recording without any deviation what so ever. Every song is equally superb, perfectly accomplishing the mood intended for the lister. There are many other artists that I'm sure anyone who reads this review would be familiar with, that have made some great melancholy records, but NONE will come close to The Eye Of Every Storm. If you are a true fan of music, you should own this record. To all of you Neurosis fans that didn't like this album because it's not Through Silver in Blood, Take another look and listen to The Eye Of Every Storm with a different insight. I think you will come to appreciate the time, effort, and creativity that was put into this recording.

NEUROSIS - The Eye of Every Storm
-
Neurosis is a band that has been progressing with each release they have done... `The Eye of Every Storm' is no exception. They started in 87' as a punk/hardcore Metal band. `Souls at Zero' came out in 92 and set a new direction which they perfected in 96 with `Through Silver and Blood'. Now in 2004 they've moved into Post-Metal territory (which they were slowly heading with `A Sun that Never Sets'-in 2001) Truth is... Not every fan will like this. Personally I do. I love bands like Pelican, Isis, (Specially their newer stuff) Red Sparowes, GY!BE, and Mogwai. More so I enjoy seeing a band that started heavy go Prog. Honestly... When bands `age' they want change, they generally have 3 choices:
#1) Progression - Bands like Opeth, and Amorphis, have taken this route and continued growing as musicians
#2) Stay the Same - Slayer has kept their general sound for decades. (Sure they've grown and matured a bit, did some lower tunings but overall still the same focus)
#3) Sell-Out - And yes of course I'm going to cite Metallica...
-So ideally progression is my preferred choice (And obviously the choice for Neurois as well)
Musically this album is `softer' in terms of Neurosis but just as dark as anything they've ever done. Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly have never sounded better, their deep beckoning voices only further an atmosphere that really could be the soundtrack to the eye of a storm... The Guitar work is subtle but effective and the Keys are more dominant on this album. Also the minimalist drumming truly helps keep the ambient feel flowing throughout the entire album.
Patience is a virtue exercised while listening to this album but it will pay off if you let the albums beauty unfold in front of you.
Honestly if you like Progressive Music, Post-Rock/Metal, or any of the bands mentioned above check this album out... Also for a heavier journey check out there back catalogue.
Favorite Songs: Burn, No River to Take Me Home, and A Season in the Sky.

INSIDE THE EYE.......2006-01-26
I'm a fairly big fan of post-rock/ post-metal. I love bands like Isis, Agalloch, GY!BE, Pelican, etc. But for me, it all really started with Neurosis. These guys not only do a lot of the little cool things that Tool does, but they actually did them first. Granted, Neurosis is an underground band (and that's where they belong) but you can't fault them for being innovative. Many may see "The Eye of Every Storm" as just a basic, boring rock album, but give it time. This band's maturity level is far beyond most of their competitors.
Unlike most of the post-metal that I love, the name of this album actually represents the album as a whole. The sounds and patterns in most of the songs actually reflect the spinning, vast, and ominous nature of a hurricane's eye. Don't take it too literally though, it's more symbolic. The songs won't sound like storms; instead, the song-structures will exemplify them.
This CD is not as heavy as earlier Neurosis offerings; specifically it's much less abrasive. But it's not radio music either. The songs are long and drawn out. It's gloomy, post-grunge -- not commercial, but still accessible. Not a bad place to start if you're not familiar with the band. Don't expect something epic, grand, orchestral, or conceptual. This is just a group of guys playing in a band. However, what has always set them apart is the maturity with which they can construct and produce music. These guys play with both style and conviction. Solid writing and solid lyrics are presented with impact. Listen to this for a while and you will definitely begin to appreciate it in an intangible way. You won't be able to describe it, but you will know: it's just better somehow

Moody reflections and expanded journeys make up for the lack of precipitation, but it isn't enough to hold one's attention for long. While it requires a severe degree of patience to listen to an hour plus of modified songs that flow in unison but achieve no quantitative value, one could say that there's a progressive sense of art beneath all the instrumentation. Tons of moments of quietude sometimes feel a bit too long but I'm sure they achieve their purposes, and whether it carries a weight of benefitial object is up to the listener to decide. Such calm moments are juxtaposed with heavier passages and some shredded singing. Nearly every song follows the same structure. This of course, is a reciprocal and fitting situation which complements the title of the album. Some might find it a challenging experience while others will want to just push the fast forward button. I won't deny the originality within this somewhat mild storm, but in retrospect this album did not manage to move me in any way, nor did it summon any form of internal emotions. If anything, it tested my capacity to endure hardship and quite frankly, I'm not too good at that.
neurosis keeps evolving.......2005-09-03
i've read alot of reviews about this album, and many of them are just completely slamming this album. now i'm not one to judge, but not all music is supposed to be heavy with horrible screaming and ignorant lyrics and where every single song on the album sounds exactly the same. music is art, and art is always evolving. everything evolves. change is beautiful. evolving doesn't necessarily mean that things are becoming better, it just happens so accept it. i like bands that challenge the listener. it keeps the imagination and mystery alive. i love neurosis because they always change, and they do what they want to do. i saw neurosis play at the troubadour in l.a. in november of 2004. there was no opening band. they played for about 2 and a half hours. they also had a special guest play with them....JARBOE!!!!!!i have always adored neurosis and swans, but that night just simply sealed the deal. the lighting was perfect, the videos being shown were magnificent, the set was breathtaking, and the crowd was so unbelievably nice (which i'm not used to). jarboe is such an amazing and creepily effeftive performer and artist.
anyways, what i'm getting at is neurosis is going to keep on changing whether you like it or not. Just listen to their first album!!!it's pure harcore bay area political punk! and for god sakes go see them live in concert. they are such an amazing band to see live! tour i saw them on was the eye of every storm tour with jarboe, they only played 4 dates for the tour and they were in all different parts of the u.s. they dont tour a whole lot anymore, so you'd better see them while theyre still around!!!
