Ummmm cello time...

Album Rating: 4.5

been a hot minute since I jammed this

See Scythe? We're in sync.

I won't go as far as a 4.5 for now, because on first listen this feels very dense and I'm just on a very shallow level.

I have a hard time saying it's not as good as anything else they've done.

Album Rating: 4.5

It’s amazing but still not even close to best.

Album Rating: 3.0

^Black Lake Nidstång is one of their best tracks though.

Album Rating: 4.5

it's pretty good

Album Rating: 4.2

The songwriting in their earlier albums hasn't aged that well, this has a denser feel and more complicated structures so comes out best

Album Rating: 4.5

Black Lake was one of my least fav here forever but I grew to appreciate it.

Album Rating: 3.0

Agalloch have never had amazing songwriting but they were ahead of the curve for weaving post-rock into metal. This one has its moments but so many tracks are full of the most cliche goth rock and folk melodies (Ghosts of the Midwinter Fires ). Seems amateurish, but not in the way their debut was.

Album Rating: 3.0

Also I'm surprised this one is only slightly higher rated than their last in 2014.

I love me some ‘Black Lake’ but ‘To Drown’ is so intense, hard to choose between them (so I won’t).
