- Awesome Music: As pioneers of post-metal, they are a veritable goldmine. The full albums Souls at Zero, Enemy of the Sun, Through Silver in Blood, Times of Grace, and Given to the Rising stand out as particularly strong releases. Through Silver in Blood even got a full five-star rating from Allmusic, which is rare for an extreme metal album.
- Epic Riff: "Takeahnase" has an absolutely amazing one on its chorus.
- Growing the Beard: This is almost universally considered to have happened with Souls at Zero, on which they established their Signature Style.
- Nightmare Fuel: The title track of "Through Silver in Blood." It's a lumbering, apocalyptic dirge of a song.
- The interlude tracks on Through Silver in Blood qualify too, consisting largely of chaotic drumming, droning guitar feedback, and apocalyptic spoken word samples ruminating on various esoteric topics.
- Their collaboration album with Jarboe (whose work with Swans and solo material is its own well of Nightmare Fuel) is definitely this. Even the album cover is creepy; it's a drawing of a hand with a large gash in it that has a fly crawling out of it.
- Signature Song: "Locust Star" is the song you're most likely to hear cited as this. It helps that it's fairly short by Neurosis' standards, and is generally representative of their style while being significantly catchier than most of their songs.
- Tear Jerker: The Eye of Every Storm as a whole could count, but especially the title track.
