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

[QUOTE=Mikk;18255866]its not agalloch, its dream theater or something i think[/QUOTE]
yeah i got owned its a dream theater album :p

gawd dream theater suxx

Fucking love the new Agalloch.

That Münn tape is really sick, btw. Great for when I'm in the mood for shit that's really messed up. I don't really like the last track, though. It's much too loud compared to the first two tracks.

New Agalloch is pretty boring

Yeah, but you're from Norristown.

hey shut up, so am I

The production is so flat, and the songs are way too long and have almost nothing interesting about them

Anyone have thoughts on Arfsynd?

Marrow Of The Spirit is fantastic, best thing I've heard all year.

[QUOTE=Meatplow;18256215]hey shut up, so am I[/QUOTE]

its not your fault

[QUOTE=TheSpirit;18256257]Anyone have thoughts on Arfsynd?[/QUOTE]

no .

So the new Agalloch is pretty good, the production sounds weird at times, especially with the drums, but it's all good.

who dropped the WITTR into my agalloch

alright probably should have waited more than 4 minutes into the first real song to make that analysis but whatever

lolol

yeah its good
