Yeah, but I'm sure that all users here have physical copies with the lyrics and have never downloaded anything, ever.

That is why there are thousands of sites like metalstorm where you can check song lyrics

It's amazing. That's no doubt in my mind, but I hope that with their next album they try something with a little more originality (like The Mantle when it came out), this is a sound that can tire out quickly.

I´ve been listening this until i like it, just took 6 hours

Last band album(I dont have last EP and I cant downlopad it) so i cant judge it but this was OK, but not so good as 1 and 2 albums from this band, those are epic, well eems I more judge the older then this but what can I do?

Now i understand the real power of metal!!!

you´re right

Relax intro.... hmmm like in heaven

Waaay better than last album.

A truly magnificent album which takes numerous spins to really appreciate. After many listens this is definitely becoming my favourite Agalloch release from their entire repertoire - that's right, even (slightly) more so than The Mantle! The unique blend of neofolk, atmospheric black, even post-metal sonic spheres is executed exquisitely.

Lets be honest, does it live up to the two before this? does it even live up to the debut? probably not, but those are 3 of the finest albums ever made and just because this doesnt quite match them its still an amazing album. haughms voice in the middle of black lake nidstang is one of the best moments of their entire discography.

Not their best. But it's still a fantastic album with a lovely atmosphere.

Objectively, Into The Painted Grey is clearly in the top 5 best Metal songs of all time.

Indeed took me a couple of spins to fully appreciate it.
I prefer it to their debut and their latest album.
But it is nowhere as good as their two masterpieces.
Highlights: I like all tracks from 2 to 5, Black lake probably most.

Yet another album that aged beautifully.

We can say it about almost whole bands albums

If by whole bands you mean Agalloch, I'm not sure yet.

I remember listening to this album driving down to London to watch them live in 2012 (which was an incredible gig in a tiny venue). Not their strongest release, but still a great listen.

I'm not sure why but 'Black Lake Niðstång' makes me imagine Lake Fjalding in Morrowind. I guess it adds to the atmosphere.

8.6/10 for me - 'Into The Painted Grey' is the standout track IMO. No real weak tracks on this album.

Holy F, previous 2 albums didn't do much for me, too boring for my taste. But 'Into The Painted Grey' alone was worth it to go through discography.

Admittedly this takes a lot more patience to really get into, especially when comparing it to The Mantle abd Ashes Against The Grain, but given time it's actually really solid. "Ghosts Of The Midwinter Fires" is the main highlight for me, "Into The Painted Grey", and "The Watcher's Monolith" I also thought were really good too, "Black Lake Niðstång" isn't bad just a wee bit too long imo.
