5.0 classic
Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain
The soundscapes on this album are unparallelled in my opinion. The lyrics, as always with Agalloch, are very good as well. Two very amazing songs on this album are 'Fire Above, Ice Below' and 'Bloodbirds'.
Iced Earth Night Of The Stormrider
Probably my favorite metal album. This CD just doesn't ever start to bore me. I can listen to this album, and ONLY this album for week after week and never grow tired of it. The whole thing just flows from one track to another nicely. Many concept albums tend to end up sounding like the music had to take a step back for the story to be properly told, which is definitely not the case here. I'd recommend this album to anyone who's into thrash or powermetal.
Iced Earth Alive In Athens
Iced Earth Horror Show
Although Horror Show is often seen as one of Iced Earth's lesser efforts, it is in fact one of my favorite IE records. This album probably features the best production of all of their CDs.
As always, the riffing is simple and chugging at some points and highly creative at others.

4.5 superb

The music reminds me a lot of Michael Nyman's The Piano and a bit of Yann Tiersen's piano works.
If you like any of those, chances are, you'll love this.

4.0 excellent
Agalloch The Mantle
Agalloch Pale Folklore
When you compare this album to Agalloch's later ones, you can tell that the band had some 'growing' to do, musically. Still, this is a pretty amazing album that has that distinctive Agalloch sound.

Why such low ratings?... :|
I just listened to the whole thing and I think it's really good. At least way better than Systematic Chaos.

It might've just been a 4,5 if the clean vocals on 'The Shadows Of The Past' weren't so annoying.
Other than that, this is a pretty great CD.
Yngwie Malmsteen Rising Force

3.5 great
Agalloch From Which of This Oak
Aurora Black And The Skies Dream Infinite Sorrow
The second half of this album (starting from The Last Hours Of Life) is pretty amazing. I'm not very fond of the breakdowns and '-core' influences on the first half.

This is a pretty great album. The only point of criticism for me is the clean vocals though. At some moments it's just downright terrible.
The soundscapes are very good though. When it's all built up, it sounds BIG.
