Yeah, the Interweb doesn't capture emotion. Don't mess with Agalloch again though :p

On a second though, I'm f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]cking unleashing the AIDS monkey's to you!

Stormrider 09-12-2006 07:07 PM

Agalloch are the poo. in a bad way.

lol, dont worry Txus, I like Agalloch.

Daven 09-12-2006 07:12 PM

Agalloch is ok...

Txus 09-12-2006 07:18 PM

I'm not responding to Agalloch haters anymore :upset:

Ashes Against The Grain is just...really boring. I mean, the riffs are kinda cool, but it just goes nowhere.

18 days until Opeth. :D

Agalloch rocks pretty fu[size=2]cking[/size] hard; and no, I'm not just saying that to back Txus.

They've consistently been one of my favorite bands since I found out about them.

Txus 09-12-2006 08:08 PM

<3 you too man! haha \m/

Stormrider 09-12-2006 08:21 PM

Pale Folklore has grown a lot on me since the beginning. I'm not caling myself a huge fan from what I've heard, but everynow and then, the album is a great listen.

Anglachel 09-12-2006 08:29 PM

WTF IS WITH THE AGALLOCH HATIN YO?

I have all their albums. And EPs.

You think AATG is boring? It's one of their most lively albums yet.

Toaster 09-12-2006 08:46 PM

[QUOTE=Mr. Ron]You think AATG is boring? It's one of their most lively albums yet.[/QUOTE]

Heh. I agree with both of you.

It's the Opeth thread. It's a given. :p Though I love both bands.

Agalloch wins, seriously, be quiet nubs.

Opeth is cool too.

So is Darkthrone.

:D.

Toaster 09-12-2006 09:50 PM

Opeth wins by mercy; they shut out Agalloch, injure their star player, demoralize their fans, disrespect their field, and rub their sweaty jocks in the faces of anyone who oppose their mighty supremacy.

Stormrider 09-12-2006 09:54 PM

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]So is Darkthrone.

:D.[/QUOTE]

I thought you never liked Darkthrone, or am I mistaking another band here ?

Nostalgia 09-12-2006 10:23 PM

You can't really compare Opeth to Agalloch. The only true thing they have that's similiar is acoustic work. They both focus on harsher vocals, longer songs, and clean vocals. They have totally different lyrical themes, and their overall sound is totally different.

pate 09-12-2006 11:11 PM

But they are both utterly amazing, so I can compare them.

Hell, I compare Iron Maiden, Opeth, and Testament all the time.

Det_Nosnip 09-13-2006 08:59 AM

You must be bored alot.

TojesDolan 09-13-2006 11:01 AM

lolz

Anyway Agalloch reminds me of old-school Opeth.

pate 09-13-2006 02:14 PM

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]You must be bored alot.[/QUOTE]

This is very true.

Yeah, that actually kind of remind me of Agalloch too. Earlier stuff was pretty raw vocal-wise.

pate 09-13-2006 02:24 PM

I see some similarities, but Agalloch is way better than anything from the first two Opeth albums, and I am a total Opeth fanboy.

132WalrusesInMexico 09-13-2006 03:00 PM

I got Blackwater Park last night. It's a pretty good album although I do prefer Ghost Reveries to it. That may change though. The only reason why I like Ghost Reveries more is because there is less cookie monster vocals, and Mikael Akerfeldt's voice is one of my favorite parts about Opeth.

All the growling on [i]Ghost Reveries[/i] is basically cookie monster growls. The growling on [i]Blackwater Park[/i] is like a hundred times better.

Actually compared to that album, all the other non-clean vocals on their albums kind of suck besides maybe [i]Still Life[/i].

132WalrusesInMexico 09-13-2006 03:05 PM

Yeah, the only Opeth albums I own are Ghost Reveries, Damnation, and Blackwater Park.

pate 09-13-2006 03:16 PM

"Mikael's voice" includes said cookie moster vocals.

132WalrusesInMexico 09-13-2006 03:19 PM

I mean when he isn't growling. Sorry for not specifying.

I always thought he sounds more or less the same, besides on the first 2. I think on GR his growling is at its best.

The thing that's most different about BWP's vocals is that they're absolutely [I]drenched[/I] in reverb.. making them sound more huge. I prefer a rawer growling style though, like on Deliverance.

Eliminator 09-13-2006 03:49 PM

Well then I guess I like his voice drenched in reverb.

:(
