thebilljim Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Torn between getting the box set or seeing them in San Fran with Converge on March 6th. Can only pick one! I'd go see them live. You can always chase after a copy of the box set on the eBay circuit later of you regret not getting it, but you won't be able to go back in time to catch a live set you missed. cambionic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 If you are going to sf from calgary, goto all 3 30th shows. Different openers and sets each night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to the show on the 6th. It's an easy trip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurazz Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Live it is then. Although it would have been nice seeing all three shows, having Converge open is too good to pass up. This time I just actually have to go, went to Seattle back in November for the Kowloon Walled City show but I passed out and missed it.

Twistedshabazz Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Im glad those neurosis records are getting repressed. With that im holding out the other two im missing will get represses at some point this year as well. Seems only logical if they took the time to do this then can do a wide spread individual release of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on going to that KWC show, but I had some family obligations that took precedent and wasn't in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You guys are more interested in converge than shellac or sleep? Converge tours quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandupPaul Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Are you sure for A Sun That Never Sets ? This is the only album that I miss ! Yeah, 100% happening. Looking forward to that one, as my OG isn't the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converge tours quite a bit I'm not a huge Sleep fan and I've seen them a few times in recent years. Shellac would be cool, but that show is sold out.

MayCauseDeath Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I purchased this because I am not very familiar with this band at all, listened to them last night, and loved what I heard. Figured there would be no better way to get acuainted then buying there whole discography. I hope it's worth it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's the track "Locust Star" from Through Silver in Blood. In my opinion, it's the perfect introduction to Neurosis, as it contains every aspect of their sound neatly wrapped in a sub-six minute morsel. Listening to Through Silver... in it's entirety would be a bad introduction either. Edit: There's also a live recording of "Locust Star" on YouTube from Ozzfest in the late 90's. It remains one of the greatest performance videos I've ever seen. I listened to the full record today, and I'm happy to report that it's pretty awesome.

Then you will like all their 90s-early 2000s material. I personally enjoy Enemy of the Sun the most right now. Listen to Cleanse/Raze the Stray and tell me what you think.

MayCauseDeath Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 i am surprised this isn't as popular, I thought this would have sold faster. I thought this band was supposed to be huge, am I mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayCauseDeath Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Being a kid and all, this was the only time of year I could afford it This is awesome! I am not a kid, I am 27 but this is my present to myself and I am really excited!! But I know exactly where your coming from! I just feel this is a great opportunity to get a collection I don't have. I think this is something I will never regret. The price is great considering 270$ is not even 30$ a record which is more than they would cost with shipping and tax. Plus they sell for more than just 30$ at the moment so it's a fucking deal! Merry Christmas everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas everyone! Haha, yeah, blew all my Christmas money on it. 16 but don't have a job so I don't have regular income. I'll be looking for something this summer though. Totally stoked for this. IIRC last time I saw you was when I was shitting myself in the DEP thread. Nice to see someone with some overlap in taste here. Merry Christmas <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 i am surprised this isn't as popular, I thought this would have sold faster. I thought this band was supposed to be huge, am I mistaken? I wouldn't say Neurosis is huge but they definitely have a good following. Since this is being released on the band's own small label with little fanfare and shortly after all the albums had a repress, it's going to take some time to sell out. Also, with no variants, some people won't get their dicks hard with a basic black vinyl edition. I think I'm going to pass and just pick up a couple represses but it sure is tempting.

There are box sets that are just black that are highly collectible like deftones and Isis. As long as it's limited that's all I care about. Unlimited pressings definitely make my dick soft as mashed potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care whether or not it's limited. andi and mxv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited is fun, but certainly not required. I have recently been on a big box set kick. I think when my wife walked downstairs the other day and realized what was going on she had a WTF moment with my recent obsession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
