hmmmmmm

You guys are nuts, this sounds like Agalloch to me, and it sounds awesome. And Erik, I think you are right about the guitar tone, might be POD, but does sound digital.

mine is avg 209 kbps VBR mp3. if you can hear the difference between that and uncompressed audio you basically don't exist

Where did you get such a good rip?
 
i was definitely expecting something along these lines, more rockish

i like the style though, if the whole album is this good i'll be pretty damn satisfied
 
I like it. It does remind me of Rapture/Slumber and I like that too. I don't hear any post-rock stuff though. Vocals are top notch, I like that his clean vox are sung low and less Geddy Lee-like.
 
Listen to the first 20 seconds of the song, then "Greet Death" by Explosions in the Sky or recent Mogwai. The guitar tone/delivery is dead-on.
 
'Nother example: around the 5:40 acoustic part, then around 6:30, the lead playing over the "Katatonia" section.
