I can agree with that tbh, but it's honestly in my top 3 albums of all time. Maybe even my fav.
The atmosphere on that album and In the Nightside Eclipse are unmatched by any other album I've ever heard. Melancholie could probably be in that convo too.

The Mantle almost goes hand-in-hand with PF, I guess those two are by equally as far the best. This is definitely their third best though.

I'll never understand you guys. PF is great no doubt but it sounds so amateurish compared to this and The Mantle [2] to a lesser extent tho

I agree that it sounds amateurish, but that makes it even more awesome, it's a sincere result, not a processed one, not that there's something wrong with studio refinement but it has a very unique atmosphere as Hawks say.
This is definitely their third best [2]

"I agree that it sounds amateurish, but that makes it even more awesome, it's a sincere result"
Not sure what being amateurish and being sincere have to do with each other. You can sound like an amateur while being insincere just like you can make something refined and professional while being 100% true to yourself

it can sound more human that way I just don't think it does it as many favors as the greater experience on their later records

Well there is an indirect connection between the two. Artists tend to be more sincere at the beginning of their careers because they're making music because they want to, not because of a contract with a record label. At the same time they also tend to be more ameteurish for obvious reasons.
One does not lead to the other and they definitely aren't synonymous but you often see albums that display both qualities.

I think Pale is pretty amateurish I agree, this is the only thing they did I really loved. Much better at the polished, solumn yet epic in nature sound that this and The Mantle has (but this definately has better songwriting for me).

i love the atmospheric value of the mantle so much, i feel like the more polished, more straight-forward "metal" sound here doesn't really suit them as well. luckily they chose to go in a more atmo-bm direction on marrow

agreed with calc hard. the mantle is great and would probably be close to this if john haughm would stfu for a bit haha. he's pretty subdued here and most of his vocals are his much better harsh vox

In Agalloch's case though I don't think they're any more or less sincere then they've ever been

It's the first Agalloch I heard and I was hooked. Jammed them for basically all of September through February through the last 3 years of high school.
