Artists often dont agree with their fans. Theyre too ingrained in the process of making the record and knowing exactly what went into it.

When a band says, "This is our heaviest album yet" don't believe them

Don said in an interview that typically his favorite Agalloch album was the most recent since it was the best representation of the music they felt like making at the moment and what they wanted to hear. This was just after Serpent too

I wonder where this one would fall in his ranking

That seems to be a pretty common sentiment among musicians.

Yeah, artists usually make what they want to, so declaring their latest efforts 'their best yet' is hardly surprising.

Yeah I’ve seen it with a few bands & it’s mostly at odds with their fan-base & their opinions. Like you say, too close to their work to remain (somewhat) impartial.



There are maybe exceptions though, Mogwai were one band that said an earlier album was best (& I agreed on that occasion).

These fivesssss.



If Agalloch has a 5, it’s this. The Mantle is great, but this has more character.
