One of the greatest moments in metal...never would I have thought that a trombone could be so fucking cool. Not to mention everything else that takes place at the same time. Incredible.

Oh man I'm glad you pointed out that specific part...it's indeed one of the finest moment I ever heard in music, so emotionnal, so intense...thanks to the great bending guitar job.
For me, The Hawthorne Passage is the song of the year.

The part that REALLY gets to me is the part in 'In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion' where he sings, 'It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world/From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea...' Oh my God. That part nearly makes me break down. You can tell he means what he's singing, and longing is something that I'm very familiar with at this point in time. Wow... That one part of that song was worth the price of the whole CD.

Mantra...I love the reverberating guitar at that point, it only adds to the feeling of utter hopelessness...

I must be the only person alive to -not- like Agalloch or have The Mantle in my top ten albums of the year. [shrugs]

I have to agree with Mantra here. There are very few albums in which I give a damn about the lyrics, (because they usually suck), but when they are good, it adds to the music quite a bit, especially if the lyrics fit the music. There is one more part in which I really love the lyrics, on track two: "Here at the edge of this world, here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone. If this grand panorama is what you call God...then God is not dead." The music is amazing though. I can't really pinpoint why I love this album, but I can't stop listening to it.

The Hawthorne Passage is simply one of the best songs I've heard so far this year . Considering the fact that it's actually an instrumental piece , it's really weird that I like it so much .
Agalloch rocks .

To both TyrantofFlames and Mantraschism, I'm feeling it too. Both of those parts hook me.
To Kushantaiddan ~ I don't know what to tell you...when the song comes to a stop and you hear the wind blow...and then the lone guitar plays the simple melody...soon followed by the second guitar, which accompanies the melody to create a layer of melodies...and then the third melody arises and blends...and then the thunder, the bass line sets the tone, and more layers of melody, including the trombone and I feel the power, the emotion of what this band is trying to say, trying to relate in their music and lyrics.

My one cd player states it all starts about the 7:30 mark, the one in my car reads that it begins at the 6:40 mark.
Train, and wind, and weird voices...yes that is it.

On my CD player, that isn't at the 7:30 mark. It's before it. At the 7:30 mark, it's just the lone guitar - the wind and all has already happened.

Also, at the part that I mentioned...
YES those ascending lead guitars in the background OWN. They make up a large part of that whole section's awesomeness. They're so sad... Now, I didn't mention this before, but there's something about that, 'It washed away...' part: when he says, '...tide of longing...', that NEEDED to have been harmonized by another, higher voice. As it is, the emotion is just not complete. I try to overlook that when I listen to it, but I just can't. I almost always find myself singing the harmony myself, just because it needs to be there that much. ~_~ Ah well, I hate to find fault in an otherwise great part, but there it is.

My computer cd player counts down. My car is correct...it starts right at about the 6:45 mark.
Mantraschism...I need to listen to that again in order to see if I can understand, or get, what you say.
