yeh, you all keep holding hands on your lonely sputnik planet, trying to form a hate bandwagon opinion versus the rest of the world, maybe in a few years you might see, that such actions are nothing but childish.

"I don't see how the review is terrible...u may not agree with his score or opinion of the album, but come on man"



That review is beyond bad, cuz he doesn't get that bands change their sound over the years, he is nearly crying that there are no clean vocals and heartfelt atmospheric parts anymore.

Doh, Agalloch had already changed to a much harsher way in Marrow and Faustian Echoes. Their music is much more avantgarde black metal now and much less folk.

Whining about that, does not help...



Oh, now I remember you Kyle, you were the person rating URFAUST and Norma Jean with 1.0...

Album Rating: 4.0

Album Rating: 3.5

Opinions seem fairly split on this.

Album Rating: 2.0

he makes it sound like i think this band hasn't already changed their sound like 10 times

"This will be remembered as their Magnum Opus, in a few years this will be the reference for blackened folk metal. It is just too much to handle for the standard black metal jerks!"

lol this thread is hilarious

maybe in a few years you might see, that such actions are nothing but childish.

KYLE, If you cannot cope that bands change (Cynic, Agalloch, Emperor),



New Cynic WAS terrible, though! And 'Sput holds Emperor's last album at a pretty respectable level,

just not up to par with their first two. Please go away angry fanboy who acts as if this website

didn't worship this band like you claim to yourself.

yah cynic's new album was total shit and i definitely did not like the change (although who didn't see it coming). emperor's last album is their best imo. prometheus doesn't get enough love. first two are also superb ofc

I'd say the opening track is a lot more Agallochy than Celestial Effigy

Album Rating: 3.0

biggest disappointment in quite a while

"There is a colossal amount of construction going on within the tunes of The Serpent & the Sphere, as the instruments time and again revisit the drive to create massive atmosphere and big soundscapes. The problem is, however, that Agalloch did not seem to recognize the importance or even the existence of this insatiable appetite for larger emotion, and rather fumble around with conceptually soaked songwriting kindling that can never light the whole track ablaze."

None of this means anything. You make it sound as if the instruments are living entities that, themselves, desire to create "atmosphere", but their cruel owners, the musicians, refuse to satisfy their "appetite" for it.

man... this is dire. I at least liked marrow on first listen, and it took a few times to realize that I was underwhelmed. this was boring from the first listen. will give it a few more tries but I don't really have any faith in this band anymore.
