Review - :
{$Neurosis} have built their reputation on -- to put it one way -- long-winded compositions, making their albums a challenging listening experience for even the most dedicated fans. And their fifth album, {^Through Silver in Blood}, doesn't buck the trend, diving headlong into the group's entirely unique experiments in {\ambient}, {\progressive death metal} with the mesmerizing 12-minute title track. With the exception of two minute-long interludes, much of the remaining material follows this blueprint, with abnormally long tracks like {&"Aeon"} and {&"Purify"} gradually building from simple melodies into trance-inducing epics. Conversely, other songs take an unbearably long time to develop, crawling toward their climaxes so slowly (see {&"Strength of Fates"}) -- or toward no climax at all (see the tortured screaming of {&"Enclosure in Flame"}) -- that one's attention span is severely tested. It is therefore of little wonder that {$Neurosis}' appeal remains so selective. Approach with caution. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
