Kerrang!Dec 10, 2012Honor Found In Decay is another milestone in a catalogue which consists of nothing but milestones. [3 Nov 2012, p.53]
-
Dec 21, 2012It is a stubborn, patient sharpening of their craft.
-
Nov 1, 2012It's not often an album of such stature exceeds one's anticipations, but Honor is too astounding to not be revered.
-
Oct 29, 2012Their voices and sound may be immeasurably more ragged and weathered, but if Neurosis' idea of "consistency" continues to include this kind of additional exploration at this point in their career, may their journey never end.
-
Nov 16, 2012By forging a path from hardcore punk through sludge and doom metal and influencing many others along the way, Neurosis have worn their influences on their sleeves, yet have still managed to evolve by sounding more intensely like themselves.
-
Nov 8, 2012The details change, but the heaviness remains.
-
Nov 6, 2012Honor Found in Decay is impressive and formidable, revealing a band still searching for that perfect distillation of stentorian sound and heartbreaking sincerity.
-
Oct 31, 2012Nothing here indicates they won't continue to rank among progressive music's leading explorers, well beyond those temporal musical fashions discussed earlier.
-
Oct 30, 2012While the execution has become more precise, more considered, the gigantic, swooping structures of the songs remain as thick and muscular as the Midgard Serpent, undulating around and encircling the world.
-
UncutOct 29, 2012Honor found in Decay confirms that they are a metal band, yes--but one reminiscent of Silver Mount Zion or Swans as any more traditionally heavy-rocking concern. [Nov 2012, p.73]
-
Alternative PressOct 29, 2012The folk direction of the group's past few albums still lingers, but it's mostly buried behind immense decibels and frightening intensity. [Nov 2012, p.92]
-
Oct 29, 2012Honor Found in Decay, the band's 11th or so studio album, is an organic, humanizing refinement of said retooling, one that is very subtle yet undoubtedly informed by guitarist Steve Von Till and bassist Scott Kelly's forays into the fandom and unadorned tribute exercises regarding the late Townes Van Zandt.
-
Oct 29, 2012In less skilful hands, this relentless sonic oppression would be gruelling, but by expressing human frailty with such visceral abandon, Neurosis have once again turned darkness into euphoria.
-
Oct 29, 2012While lacking the immediate and defining qualities of their previous releases, the album still manages to outclass its peers in almost every regard.
-
Oct 29, 2012The record doesn't abandon the moody sprawl of the band's last few full-lengths, but it does help restore urgency to an aesthetic that seemed in danger of growing soporific.
-
Feb 11, 2013Read: wall-battering grunge, post-final battle atmospherics, and enough emotional gristle to feed a Tyrannosaurus rex.
-
The WireDec 5, 2012Honor Found In Decay is a solid Neurosis album, but it doesn't find them doing anything new. [Nov 2012, p.63]
-
Nov 1, 2012In principal this is another finely crafted record in the vein of much that has been released by Neurosis since 2000. The problem is that what sounded so exciting during that vital three album run identified earlier was never going to have the same impact today.
-
Oct 30, 2012Despite flashes of greatness, the uneven, unfocused Honor Found In Decay feels more like a placeholder.
