"Almost equal but this one has The Grain"



considering the general consensus i'd think that means you see that as a con but idk the track has its charm so

Yeah I dig it hard too, but a lot of people seem to think it drags the album down.

honestly pale folklore is my favorite of theirs, but that may be nostalgia creepin on me.

Nice to see someone else with the same opinion. m/

Took me forever to get into the grain but now it's as essential to the album as any of the other songs are

Fufgtvdkthrifbyhdhd this is gradually becoming my top agalloch in all honesty

i do not get a "drinking hot chocolate by a fire" vibe from the other albums, more of a "drinking whiskey by a fire (sometimes indoors, sometimes outdoors) trying to drown your sorrows" vibe from them.

Yeah agreed.

Always interesting how people interpret and react to music. I get both Adolf's and Mike's points of views of Agalloch. I'm somewhere in the middle.

It's weird that music can evoke something as fundamental as the weather. Like, are these aesthetics inherent in the music, or are they purely associative? idk

Album Rating: 5.0

that's a good question. I fell in love with Agalloch listening to The Mantle during Spring and Fall, and hearing the album now still strongly reminds me of those times. So I'm not really sure whether their seasonal association has more to do with when I listened to it, or what they really remind me of



I would imagine this chicken and egg situation probably exists for other listeners as well

I once took a long walk on a cold (mid to high 40's (Fahrenheit)) day. It was overcast and drizzling, so I though I'd be fine in a thin sweatshirt. Big mistake. Started coming down hard and cold near the end of my walk, but I still had to walk back. I have never been as cold as I was then, even though it was mid Spring. But it was okay because I was listening to The Mantle the whole way there and back, mumbling along. It was one of the most atmospheric and visceral listening experiences of my life. Almost worth nearly getting hypothermia. That is one of the several reasons why The Mantle will always be a 5 for me.

yeah that's exactly what I mean, does it sound like winter/spring to you because that's when the experience you associate the album with happened, or did it already sound like that to you?
