Man this has grown so much on me over the years, it's a fucking wonderful record

Yeah, I remember how much hate it got on release...they definitely knew something we weren't ready for haha

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah i never really got the dislike towards this album

Album Rating: 4.5

They went from the perfectly polished sound of Ashes Against the Grain to the unquantized analog tape recordings of Marrow. I personally loved the contrast but could see why people would be like, wtf is this

Album Rating: 4.5

it's not that harshly produced

Album Rating: 2.5

nah it's definitely not the harsh prod. this is pretty tame for bm standards

Album Rating: 4.2

this isn't abrasive or whatever, it's just fuckin dense

which makes it a headfuck to process when more than like 2 Things are happening

like at the start of the record when it all kicks off

it is a lot

but I much prefer the acoustic sounds in this mix than the wimpy neofolk shit on the Mantle. Agalloch sound better with a bit o weight, them pallid fucks

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah this ain't no lofi bm recording lol, definitely not harsh

Album Rating: 5.0

well honestly I don't want any bad blood so I'll refrain from going into too much detail, as even this is completely subjective opinion but this is the one that made me have to speak up about it:



"but I much prefer the acoustic sounds in this mix than the wimpy neofolk shit on the Mantle."





I realised in the meanwhile I get nothing for calling people out about their shit takes, as we all have them, all love and wells

Album Rating: 4.0

love me some wimpy neofolk shit

Album Rating: 4.5

the majority of Agalloch fans enjoy that element, I feel like it's very evident by the ratings and popularity of The Mantle alone

Album Rating: 4.2

"I get nothing for calling people out about their shit takes"

uh yes you do, please do it all the time!!

and ig the Mantle probably still is the best thing ever if your favourite poets peaked in high school, your fav chord progression is Em to Am on infinite loop, and you still get a nostalgic rush from remembering that one time you came face to face with the spirit of winter when your heater broke and you had to wear socks in bed omg nature is real

like, it's a good album and i still enjoy probably more than half of it, but hot damn after a certain amount of years you can't not stamp a certain amount of guilty pleasure status over that boi

Album Rating: 5.0

hot take, suggesting people who like a thing are a certain way maybe says more about you than them
