Same here and the production is excellent. I do prefere pale Pale Folklore and The Mantle musically regardless. Ashes Against The Grain has some things I really do not like but the songs Not Unlike The Waves,Limbs and Falling Snow get a 12 out of ten and make up for anything. I would say for a newer album ashes against the grain is very impressive.
Everytime in the store go look for another Agalloch album and their is only ashes against the grain. every music store I have been into.
Come now D and B, you know that I must post this in every poll thread, irrespective of the fact that it long ceased to be amusing; probably at about the same time many of our posters were conceived.
