In the case of this album, pitchfork is even less cynical than Sputnik 0_O

Pitchfork's review is dumb, I read it earlier - they argue it's their pinnacle because they melt all the stuff they have done in the others here

Yeah, I love this album but that definitely isn't the reason for it. I mean I don't really see much mantle or even marrow influences here. I could see an Ashes or PF comparison depending on the part of the album

I'd rather say this is the bloated recap of their discog. Almost nothing new under the sun



A lot of the things I loved about Mantle are actually missing. So..

i mean, i wouldn't call this a rehash of ideas, or all their other albums combined into one. it's definitely unique.



i just don't like the sound they were going for on here and some of the songs are just really subpar. vales beyond dimension and celestial effigy are two of the most tepid tracks they've ever composed.

That's crazy.

Celestial Effigy has grown to be one of my favorite Agalloch songs.

Pretty much! Sorry Noctus ; ).



I was just listening to this two days ago and I said to myself, "Damn I feel sorry for Sputnik because the rest of the world loves this album".

I personally judge the album as a whole and there's a lot of stuff I wish they had cut out of this.



Still a 3, it's not shit eh

This just doesnt have anything memorable like the other albums do. Seems like they were just going through the motions.
