As with most Agalloch releases, this one will need a few listens to absorb. However, my initial impression was not favorable.

I love Agalloch because I love 20 minute songs.
I should probably revisit the White Album at some point. I only spun it once, found it chore to sit through and never revisited it.mëtålspëd;9498242 said:Really? I liked it right off the bat (Not so for AATG.. which still hasn't caught with me). I know you didn't like the White EP though... which I dug the crap out of.
WIN! The best part is your post is pretty funny whether or not you were being sarcastic.

Rich, I give you credit for turning me onto this band. I really dig the whole atmosphere, which I think is Agalloch's strong point. The White EP is awesome, but I wish that it would get reissued.
Greg, you have to take it for what it is, which is an "atmospheric" experience. In other words, don't try to listen to it while pumping iron or training for UFC fighting!
