I think that Opeth is way more boring than Agalloch tbh. Agalloch have evolved their sound with each album.... Opeth has been the same for over 10 years....

I think I can sum up both of these bands in a small paragragh, don't quote me on this for this is just a well written opinion I came up with at breakfast.
The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own? This inveterate sense of constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities. It restrains us and holds our minds to the ground below, averting any possibility of rising above ourselves to something greater; something not fathomed by the conventional mind. This concept of seeking to go beyond one’s self, known as “transcendence”, is essentially a gateway to unlocking pieces of ourselves that can lead to some of the most elaborate and significant creations of our world. For many, this quest to transcend and form creations that were once considered unthinkable and overwhelming consumes life. Certainly it is rare to find such people, but when they are found, creative barriers are destroyed.

It was actually Shadows' first paragraph to his Blackwater Park and Carriers Of Dust reviews. Kinda the site joke.

Hahahaha I thought that sounded familiar... Guess I'm not privy to the all the inside jokes and lingo here. If I'm going to be so excluded I might have to relocate to IGN!

Good review, nice to see the other side of the argument for a change. I like The Mantle, but I didn't think this one was that special.

Balls sublime writing (taken from Shadow's reviews): The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own? This inveterate sense of constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities.

I just quoted Shadow's intro from his Mirrorthrone and Blackwater Park review. If I could write something as deep and pretentious as that, frankly, i'd pat myself on the back.

This is a great cd. It's not as good as The Mantle but still great none the less. I don't understand how you could rate it only as a 2.5. But I looked at the other cds you've reviewed and then I understood why you would only give this a 2.5.
