Agalloch - The White EP

[Faint]

I like some of it.

 

[skeptik]

Just got it...I don't know why I assumed it was a record and not a CD.

 

[Vilden]

Lol, I accually assumed the same thing. Weird because most of their stuff has been released on cd so why not this one too?

 

[skeptik]

I thought most of their 'special', side releases were on vinyl.

 

[TheTechnogoat]

And I don't think someone who listens to shite like ACDC, Dimmu Borgir, Therion and Nightwish is qualified to be commenting on their songwriting ability.

I love people who make big collages in their sigs of the shitty bands that they like, as if anyone gives a fuck.

How is that any different from listing what bands they've just finished listening to in their sig...and The Dillinger Escape Plan of all bands....

 

[skeptik]

One quick listen tells me that this is pretty good, some tracks considerably better than others...the obvious highlight for me is Pantheist. Nothing else immediately struck me. I seriously need to explore this genre further by artists who actually know what they're doing.

Um AC/DC and Therion write/wrote fantastic songs

 

[rms]

AC/DC wrote the same song over many times.

And leaving Nightwish out!? wtf. Oceanborn and Wishmaster are ridiculously good PM albums.

are you talking about neo folk? then if that's the case, you might want to check the Neo Folk rec thread

 

[skeptik]

I'm talking about Neo Folk and Dark Ambient and all the gay shit in between.

 

[Psychonaut]

I still don't have mine

The split with Nest and Tomorrow Will Never Come were vinyl releases.

Oh damn, you told me! What an attention whore I am, personalizing my signature and everything.

AC/DC wrote ass-kicking songs many times.

Damn straight.

Says the Dillinger Escape Plan fan

Kind of like the one you have on your last.fm, huh.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I seem to be a magnet for cocky assholes with shit music taste lately.

 

[Xorv]

Go listen to the end of "Our Fortress Is Burning" and tell me that has nothing in common with ambient music.

I'm not saying they are an ambient band, but they're definitely more interested in creating ambience then they are in rocking.



Anyone who can't appreciate any of those bands has no idea what songwriting is.

You lack sense. The last track on AATG isn't even a song!! Whoa! what an amazing track to pick to support your dying case. Whether they make ambience or rock it really don't matter, because in the end they make steller music. Just steller.







Fuck acdc, who the hell gave the drunk the microphone anyways? Oh great! Now he's on the fucking floor, again!

Too bad "steller" isn't a word.

And thanks for taking my point out of context. That was in response to someone saying Agalloch have "nothing in common with ambient music".

What a steller argument.

What a steller argument.

my bad, they do.

 

[Belligerent]

I don't know what to think of their EP yet. I just got it. I really like Sowilo Rune but have mixed feelings on the rest.
