The one I have is 192kb/s. The link is posted somewhere in the Agalloch chatbox on last.fm. Been checking that page several times a day for the past few days.

Yeah, I saw that link but its been deleted. I think I found one though.

Yeah it's a little under 90MB in size and 192kb/sec. The album itself is ok, pretty good but not outstanding.

eh im in no rush to get it

"Black Lake Nidstång" is head and shoulders above anything else on the album.

I was starting to wonder how I was going to hold out until November 23... Been listening to Agalloch almost non-stop for the past few days in anticipation for [I]Marrow of the Spirit[/I].

I love the whole thing really. They've really done something they haven't really done before on this one. Black metal influences are much stronger, and the production takes some getting used to (especially the thin lead guitar), but it works really well.

you are the true fan boy

ive been listening to the 2 released songs and they really aren't anything special. don't know if i can even be bothered to download the leak :/

Now that I've heard it I think I could have managed to wait another 20 days.

was expecting that response

[QUOTE]not that good?[/QUOTE]
It's good, but six months from now when I go to listen to an Agalloch album I can see myself passing on this in favor of The Mantle or Pale Folklore easily.

agalloch couldnt be amazing forever

Yeah I was pretty psyched for this album but, judging from the massive quantities of meh released by good bands this year, I was kind of expecting this to happen.

Your opinion may differ, though, and mine might change. Just my initial thoughts.

im in no hurry to even listen to it

Yah this year has been pretty awful with bigger bands releasing albums except for like Darkthrone, Burzum and Enslaved. Although they were quite a few bigger black/death releases this year by some pretty well established bands

Even if it's not as good as their past albums, I'm sure it's still good. You've got to factor in expectations with reputation, and the fact you're going on a first impression.

Yeah I'm definitely taking into account in the fact that I've only listened to it twice, so this is still a very early opinion. It is still good, and worth listening to, but right now it doesn't seem up to their usual standards of quality. The experimentation is all over the place, especially in Black Lack Nidstång with the vocals and electronics, as well as To Drown.

Yeah, both very good points.

Though idk if my opinion is going to help anyone. Agalloch are my favourite band and I guess maybe I am a bit of a fanboy. :p

its still really good guys

Don't worry man, I'm not holding anything against you. Everyone has their own opinion. Plus, maybe in time my opinion on the album will change too, but what I noticed on the two sampled tracks is that I grew to love them more with each listen, and I've listened to them [I]a hell of a lot[/I].

not black metal but munn rules, wish they had released more stuff :/

now were talkin

yeah seriously that rehearsal has gotta be one of my favorite tapes. II In Defeat is total crush when it starts to pick up. sucks the dude died though he was young as fuck.

shit rules hard and yeah, def sucks that dude died

EDIT: do you know how he died?

no clue, prob overdose or maybe the rehearsal is an audial recording of him getting tortured to death

hahaha

munn fucking slays

yeah munn is badass
