OK.....

[Thidrek]

but there are more clean vocals on "the mantle"

 

[sdmf2]

way more clean vocals on The Mantle. which is also one of my favourite albums ever.

I think Ashes Against The Grain is better than The Mantle!

 

[Thidrek]

I don't think so... first of all it is less complex. And then it contains 2 stupid fillers namely "This white mountain on which you will die" and "the grain", whilst the first one can be seen as music the secand one is just noise.
Nevertheless "Falling Snow" and "Not unlike the waves" are just awesome tracks!

Anyway I prefer albums I love every single song!

I'll try a couple of songs on "The Mantle" then.

So, is Ashes Against the Grain a good listen? I haven't heard it quite yet, and have been debating buying it. I do love Pale Folklore and The Mantle, so that's why I was wondering.

I have a lot of CDs to get still...

 

[karpsmom]

Ashes is brilliant!

 

[Treesinger]

In my opion it's not as great as Pale Folklore or The Mantle, but still a good album.
