    Agalloch is listening music, not verse chorus verse. You just have to put it on, sit back and relax.

    "What do you do for a living?" Thread

    I would argue that you're better off using right tool for the job and go with R or Matlab. They're not terribly difficult languages to learn. VB isn't really known for it's math manipulation ability or it's throughput. But if your focus is on visualisation of statistical information it's...

    Apart from the fact that you should just STFU and buy it, like any Agalloch album, it doesn't sound like anything they've done previously (I'd say it's closest to their first if anything, imagine their first with the Ashes polish and experience applied to it). It's Agalloch with the atmospheric...
