Agalloch: Ashes Against the Grain - Just pre-ordered it at THE END!

Alcapoth · July 29th, 2006, 01:26 AM

This new album from Agalloch will most-likely be the best goddamn album of the year! Jesus, these guys have NEVER sounded better. I strongly believe that when I FINALLY receive this album in the mail I'll get my answer to me believing they may have just put out the best album of their career. Falling Snow is a terrific song, for sure, but my god don't get me started on Limbs; one of the best fucking songs I have heard all year. I could NEVER have been prepared for a song THAT good...I was shocked.

In any case, this album is turning into a HUGE surprise for me as I originally had no anticipation towards it whatsoever (while I was HUGELY anticipating TGCD from Katatonia) and now it seems Ashes may turn out to be one hell of an achievement. Stunning, STUNNING band....as well, get ready for THIS.....

Perhaps the GREATEST lmtd. BOX set I have seen in years. FAR superior than Ulver's Blood Inside and Katatonia's The Great Cold Distance combined, hehe. This is INSANELY kickass and is ONLY limited to 500 copies. I suggest people that LOVE this band jump on the bandwagon immediately before it's too late, like I did.

I'm just blown away - I really can't wait to hear this damn album.

HAIL AGALLOCH!

But still, all three are 10/10 bands in terms of their quality. It doesn't matter which band you prefer, at least to me.

For me, it'll be like:

Katatonia>Ulver>Agalloch

i dunno where the blood inside comparison came frm, but its a much better album than ashes is. a decent album, but the more i think about it it's not very solid. some of the songs are kind of weak, except for fire/ice and waves, which are good throughout. bloodbirds is also very good, but the 3 part closer disappointed me tbh.

a good album though, just not close to the top of my list for best of the year.

Blood Inside > TGCD > AATG

Bought it last night when they actually had a shirt selection... Was suprised to wake up 8 hours later and see them out of XXL and XL, then 6 hours later were out of L and M shirts...
