i guess this is a step foward, but it hard for me to really compair 1 song ep to a full lengh Marrow which was mostly forgettable except for those awesome electronics on Black Lake Nidstang.
and they should get more neo folky on the next one.

it is a step away from their atmospheric folky whatever it is into more straightforward black metal aesthetic, which was what marrow did just not quite as dramatic as this
yeah like in one song
and that one song is like covered in acoustics anyway
so uhh, no, sorry

i don't think they're dropping it at all, it would have distracted from the heart of this ep which definitely isn't nature or atmospherics. i can definitely see why it wouldn't be to the liking of a lot of people but i can p. much assure you that this isn't a permanent direction. or at least if it is, i'll likely be in the same boat. :]
Regardless of how you want to argue this, it's a staple to their sound and I feel like I'm not listening to Agalloch. It's like if Immolation were to drop their pinch harmonics and atonal riffs. They wouldn't be Immolation anymore.

the riffs are still distinctly agalloch, the droning moments sound exactly like the grain or odal dismantled, the drums of course are very reminiscent of marrow, there are acoustics still, they're just not distracting from the main theme. there's plenty here that agalloch have building over the years.
i do see how the lack of naturey atmospherics wouldn't sit well with some though. :]

I liked Marrow a lot but I admit it's the weakest LP they have.
I demand to have my demography represented in this review!

"Some people just aren't ready for how good this EP really is so they turn to preposterous claims like it's "flat" or it's "lifeless" or it's too "accessible" (lol) because they have no ability to properly analyze or dissect music with any level of depth. Mark my words, ten, twenty, fifty years from now this EP is going to be a fucking grade A classic of 21st century black metal composition. The EP that found true inspiration from several loose genres (folk metal, symphonic prog, avant-garde jazz, to name a few) and tied them together into a cutting-edge aesthetic that hits harder than a train wreck if you're not too dense to hear it. The amount of personality Agalloch extracts out of their instruments here is almost incomparable to anything that came before it, including Pink Floyd and AC/DC's greatest records."
hahaha, where is this from

the riffs are still distinctly agalloch,
I believe their upped production standards really throw me off on this one. They just sound so boring for Agalloch. Although I will admit, every single Agalloch album/ E.P. grew on my overtime. This may be the case too.
