Haughm hasn't made anything less than good. I'm not keeping my hopes up, but I can safely guess it'll be worth a few listens.

I like Painted Grey better than Black Lake tbh but both are stunning masterpieces agreed

I think it's because Ashes was a reboot to their sound and Marrow was not an organic progression at all. It was more of a throw-back but more avant-garde and took a lot to digest after recalibrated expectations.

Don't see how this would be seen as a "throw-back". I've heard that accusation several times, but I've never understood it, given how impossible it is to imagine something like To Drown or Black Lake Nidstang on The Mantle of just any of the Agalloch albums prior to this.

I am guessing he is referring to the production...and he is right. It sounds a bit more raw than the two previous albums. I love the production on this album, it's perfect.

Into The Painted Grey and Ghost Of Midwinter Fires = throwback



Intro/Black Lake/To Drown = more avant-garde



Watcher's Monolith is the only thing that remotely sounds like anything on Ashes.

It definitely sounds raw, but in a completely different way than Pale Folklore. One of the major problems of that one's production is how quiet the drums are, especially the bass drum, while on here, the drums are so loud that they drown out some of the music in places, so that's a big difference.

Also, talking about drums, there are no blast beats on any Agalloch album before this ... enter Into the Painted Grey

This doesn't sound anything like any previous Agalloch album tbh. There are times at which it sounds a bit similar to Serpent but even then those two records are pretty distinct from one another
