i've heard that album is good, actually...and i'll trust you, since the rest of your list is excellent

i'll list 10 of my faves i haven't seen yet:
the mars volta - de-loused in the comatorium
the coma lilies - s/t
katatonia - last fair deal gone down
demilich - nespithe
cynic - focus
grateful dead - american beauty
at the drive-in - relationship of command
rush - 2112
ulver - bergtatt
xasthur - telepathic with the deceased

and i've seen it, but i have to reiterate, if you don't own both agalloch albums get them immediately or i will beat the shit out of you, slice off your ear with a razor and light you on fire, mr. blonde-style.
