Coming over a year after Oakland, CA band Neurosis' debut album, the three song EP Aberration is still firmly rooted in hardcore and thrash, but you can hear the beginnings of the band's evolution beyond those genres, which led to their foundational work, starting with 1992's Souls at Zero, in what became known as post-metal. The hint of things to come is especially plain in the experimental and decidedly unpunk sound of the first minute of B side Pollution, the only track from this EP that made it onto the band's sophomore album, The Word as Law.
