FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
A great thing about this album is in stands on its own feet, rather than my comparing it to band x, band y, or even, band z!
Musically very accomplished, it is an unmistakably modern album, played from the heart.
I can see Godsticks finding an audience with fans of modern metal.

Though it had been 15 years since Neurosis last played Toronto, I must confess that I hadn’t waited nearly that long; I caught ’em in Brooklyn in 2012. Nevertheless, it was a rare East Coast performance for the post-sludge godfathers, and one that came with some welcome opening acts–in sharp contrast to that NYC show.
