Times of Grace

I mean, it wasn't my number one on Neurosisology, but, like, to me, it's really the record that, like, it's probably my number one again because I've been listening to it again with the new Neurosis record.

But Neurosis, Times of Grace, like, the album is just, I mean, the emotional weight.

Yeah.

And also, that art, the dog on the front, too, it's iconic in a way, too.

But as if that wasn't enough, they also wrote a companion electronic album for it with their Tribes of Neuro side project, um, which was called Silver Blood Transmission.

And we see them do this with Times of Grace as well, where they released Grace.

And I suspect, yeah, there are other instances where they've done things like this.

You see this echoed in other bands further down the line.

It wasn't easy.

Is it the greatest post-metal album ever? Probably, yeah.

As I say, not my favorite Neurosis album, but we'll get to that later after we take a look at Neurosis' final pre-millennium album, Times of Grace.

[gentle music] Times of Grace was recorded at Steve Albini's Electric Audio studio in Chicago and released in May 1999.

But yeah, I think Remission, taken just as one of those albums from that period, it pretty much stands up to ...

Uh, m- maybe not every single album from, like, you know, it's not as good as Times of Grace by Neurosis, which is a fucking 10 on 10, 11 on 10 masterpiece, but for a fir- it's pretty fucking good.

Do you know what I mean? [laughs]

Yeah.
