Good review, pos'd. I really love this album, but I am also one of the few who really enjoyed their newest LP.

Newest is third best behind Ashes and Mantle IMO

I always felt Ashes felt out of place for this band; less bm more post-metal :/

the newest one is hands down their weakest come on. it's so nondescript and boring compared to their older stuff. the first track is pretty great though

forgot about pale folklore. newest is definitely better than that album

yeah didn't feel the new one at all either. it's decent but my expectations were much higher

"I always felt Ashes felt out of place for this band; less bm more post-metal :/"
Marrow is the only album of theirs that feels "bm" to me. Sure, all of their albums are influenced by it to
varying degrees (with Ashes having the least) but I've always felt the influence is too small to really be
considered dominant other than here

Disagreed hard. The atmosphere created might be second only to The Mantle in their discog and the whole album is way too powerful to ever be nondescript. Not sure if you saw my review for it but anyway my sentiments are properly detailed there

yo simon i'll check that review out. it's been a while since i listened so i'm probably being harsher than i should. i initially gave it a 4 and the atmosphere is indeed very interesting, i just think this is much more focused and has a better atmosphere on the whole

A 4 hardly sounds like "nondescript and boring" haha

I remember that this wasn't much well received back then. Its average rating has been growing over the years.

"it cannot be ignored what the band’s frontman John Haughm himself thought about the album"
I think this reads weird. Perhaps "what frontman John Haughm himself thought about the album cannot be ignored."
Very nice review, pos'd. I like this album about the same as you but it was also my first agalloch record.

Great stuff man. A few things:
"Although Ashes Against the Grain, the third full-length of the Portland, OR “dark metal” band Agalloch, saw the four-piece even further cement their position as one of the most critically acclaimed metal bands in the world, it cannot be ignored what the band’s frontman John Haughm himself thought about the album."
Very choppy first sentence. I would just take out the "portland" part altogether and likewise, remove the "even" in the second line there.
"Even though it would be silly to call it poppy"
Comma after poppy.

Step down from the first 3, but yeah better than the latest.
