recommend me an Agalloch album

[ohiogrinder]

this music is perfect when I'm in a contemplative, down-in-the-dumps mood.

where should I start with these guys?

 

[Zephyrus]

All I own is Ashes Against the Grain and I like it.

 

[username345]

The Mantle. Ashes Against the Grain is second best.

 

[Koude Haat]

Pale Folklore is their best. Mantle is great also, i didn't think ashes was as good as their first two albums..

[CAIRATH]

The earlier stuff is more folk'ish and the later leans more towards post-rock influences. Depends on which of those choices you like best. You can't really go wrong with any of it.

 

[naboo]

I'd go for Ashes Against the Grain. I think it's the most well written, but they're all good.

 

[MasterOLightning]

AATG and Pale Folklore are the two best.

 

[Belligerent]

The Mantle. Ashes Against the Grain is second best.

Yes. Pale Folklore just doesn't measure up compared to those two albums.

 

[S<issors]

I'm a big Monotome fan, but the mantle and El Riviere are both solid as well- ER in particular is really underrated, I like the subtle salsa influences

pretty much all agalloch's releases are good except that shitty glam rock thing they did

 

[Skepticism]

All fucking amazing, Pale Folklore is my favourite though. Really though, favourites change from person to person.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I usually reach for Nokturnal Mortum when I iz depressed

well said.

 

[EndlessSolitude]

Pale Folklore as an overall effort triumphs out of the 3 full lengths.

i also agree with this. id say ashes against the grain is probably the easiest to get into though .... but anyone with taste inevitably ends up appreciating pale folklore the most.

 

[Vilden]

but anyone with taste inevitably ends up appreciating pale folklore the most.

This is the truth. Pale Folklore is their best.

 

[Psychonaut]

Any and all is safe.

Pale Folklore is my favorite, tho.

when the hell did this happen?

 

[Fury of the Storm]

The Mantle

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Pale Folklore or The Mantle. It's very hard to decide between those two.
