nah, this is easily one of the best things Agalloch have ever done
up there with Ashes and twice as good as The Mantle

I haven't listened to this in ages so I need to give this a relisten. I remember it being excellent, especially the closer but I can't remember why.

Yeah, I mean this probably ain’t what I thought it was and I haven’t checked in ages, but I do remember it being very unfairly maligned. Having said that the average is actually decent, so… 🤔

Yeah this album is definitely the underrated one in the discog. Would probably put this at number 2 behind ashes

It ranks at 3 for me. The Mantle and Ashes are just too good.

I don't like the mantle as much as everyone else. It has some good tracks but it's my 2nd least favorite next to serpent and the sphere

It's still enjoyable. I just find pale folklore, this, and ashes to all be better

True. Mantle is clumsy as hell. Charming, but flawed.

I would argue that precisely because of those flaws and kinks The Mantle is as majestic as it is.
And let's not kid ourselves, this isn't perfectly played either

Dekker does occasionally sound like he just woke up and was pushed in front of the kit

Agreed with StormChaser. The Mantle is their best, but Ashes and Serpent are their only ones that sound professionally played and recorded all the way through. That’s never really affected my enjoyment all that much, aside from maybe a couple of the solos on PF sounding off.
Interestingly, even though its seen as a return to stripped down, raw bm, this has the most light sections like folk and post-rock out of all their full-lengths besides The Mantle.

"Dekker is the first and only guy this band had who sounds like a professional drummer, and the prod on this suits their scrappiness far better than the Mantle's ponderous foreground-everything sanctimonitones"
My thoughts exactly. This sounds way more well performed than the mantle despite having a very live performance production quality. The mantle sounds sloppy and awkward. The songwriting here is more mature
