Well that album especially is much more chaotic than most of the bands they influenced. I would give Times of Grace a try. It's a better album in my opinion but they are definitely an aquired taste. I too am surprised at the lack of participation on this thread but i am partially guilty myself.

I have that album.  It's pretty good

^I think there problem is that Isis came along and took what they did and then went so much further in a more melodic manner that it left Neurosis for dead.

I know i'm veering off topic a bit but what makes it difficult for me to make a list is the fact that certain bands, e.g. Amorphis,My Dying Bride,Katatonia,Tiamat and Envy,are not considered experimental/post metal which throws a wrench into my list. I might just make a list anyways and throw those bands in because i think they truly belong. Just my opinion and i'm sure that is fodder for another topic.
