Finally listned to The Mantle

[KILL TULLY]

Wasn't my cup of tea. At all. Just wondering what all the hype was about? Its not even really Metal most of the time...wondering how Agalloch beat so many amazing METAL bands in the BEST METAL BAND EVVAARRR contest...

 

[Ellestin]

Same question two years ago would maybe have yielded an effort to put up with a constructive answer. Now I'm just bored...

 

[Ayeka]

I guess because it's something a little bit different...and then maybe you get people who think they're too cool to listen to Metal so they have to plug bands like Agalloch instead

 

[KILL TULLY]

I won't deny that its interesting music, but I don't see how it won a contest to vote for the greatest metal band ever.

Here you got a point. Now remember the contest was held on RC, not on www.testosterone-eruption.com

Haha, because we all know Metal has absolutly nothing to with testosterone, ever.

I didn't like it much either. It was good for helping get to sleep–and I don't mean that negatively, it was decent chill-out music. But really not good for much else.

No, no it isn't. Which is why I'm still confused as fuck at a lot of you über-rules types telling me the specific qualifications of a metal band and blah blah blah done this all before who cares.

This album rules, but I only listen to it for about 3 months of the season, fall weather really brings out the magic. The rest of the year I have little desire to hear it.

 

[MFJ]

Tully, your signature makes it so fucking hard to browse this forum at school. I could turn them off, but I am way too lazy, plus the Billy Dee Williams picture is AWESOME.

 

[NAD]

If/when the pink thong bitch goes away, I shall be sad. Billy Dee Williams is forever ingrained into my retinas though, so that one may come and go at will.

Royal Carnage is my only source of entertainment while my programming teacher is trying to teach these sluts how to save a file to their desktop... and he actually thinks that they'll be able to program a video game by the end of this quarter... heh...

right on!

in the late fall, early winter, I give it OMG OMG 10/10!!! MUST LISTEN OVER AND OVER

and then the rest of the year, I say "mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

thus why I'm not even gonna bother listening to the vinyl edition I got until the proper season rolls around

 

[MFJ]

Let me tell you, when the Stormcrowfleet vinyl comes out in December, no other music will grace my ears until February.

(you know, besides Summoning and Negura Bunget)

 

[J.]

I never play The Mantle anymore. Just no desire to. In fact, I rarely listen to any depressing sounding music as of late.

 

[MFJ]

Sounds like you need a dose of OTYG.

 

[J.]

No cheese metal please.

I've been busy with Pagan/Heathen/Viking/Folk black metal bands. Belenos is just owning me in every whch way, especially doggy style. And having just ordered the new Nachtfalke, I have no time for depression.

 

[MFJ]

Belenos has also been owning me. OTYG IS NOT CHEESE METALLLL

What? Details people, details!
