Yea you should forget about that Agalloch right away. Sympho? You must mean Folk. I don't know about you but the MADRIGAL is the epic record of this band. Wolf all the way,

dont understand all lyhteraly and 1th album there is not all time pure BM sound its lil mild I its lil softer lil melo parts on it its not same sound like in hymn Ulver

I wouldn't mind if the staff banned the comments on albums, because it's getting ridiculous.

Not gonna happen. It's not different than comments in band threads.

Just because k7 plagues this place with his god-awful sense of typing doesn't mean we're going to limit the amount of potential conversations for others by eradicating one of the most popular thread types.

This album deserves no less than a '10 - Perfect' rating in my opinion.

I listened to the first three track on the bus this morning and was kinda disappointed. It was good, but not "10" good.

The clean vocals on track 1 disappointed you? When I was first listening to it while using headphones, I thought someone behind me from outside was singing. Garm's vocals slay big balls.

Ah, one of those albums I used to quote as being one of my all time favourites, before I finally realised I only ever listen to the first track and skipped the rest.

I didn't really notice anything too special about them. Everything on here I had heard before, however I guess these guys are the originals though...

HAHA thats totally what I do, I cant remember much after track 1, but the first track is amazing.

Which is exactly why it is 10 worthy imo. A compact album with no filler. Way ahead of its time if you ask me with so many bands nowdays owning so much to this album.

I don't know, I've heard better, even if this is ahead of it's time.

I suggest you to give it more listen. To me it was a grower.... Specially if you heard 3 tracks.... in the bus
Pretty much the prime example of how I don't check out music.

To me this album packs way more forest than many BM's entire discographies. Great atmosphere.

I'll probably listen to it on the way home (also on the bus ) and maybe at home, if I'm not busy.

Track 1 slays, but the whole album is strong. It's been a long time since I've listened to it. I feel like doing it soon.

Listened to it again, it was better than the first, but still not mind blowing.

7.8/10

Lol sounds like Agalloch. Was Agalloch influenced by this band?

I would definitely say so.

This album is great, and their later works are awesome as well!.

Truly unique album. I like it a lot. And yeah, I can definitely hear where Agalloch got their inspiration from.

Some people are saying the first track is the best. I disagree: the last track is definitely my favourite, which might have got something to do with the vocals (the clean ones are good, but I prefer the screams to those), but it also has everything you'd want in a track, as in variety.

I actually like the first track the least out of all tracks... weird to see everyone here likes the first track so much. I think the last track is brilliant, definitely my favourite, but I like them all.

I wouldn't call it weird at all. The reason is very simple: It's the one that surprises you the most by being first and for having most clean vocals as far as I remember... I can totally see how that track surprised a good amount of people back in the day so that's the reason most people remember the album.

Yeh they were, I cant remember which Interview it was but I heard / Read one of the members (John I think) say clear as day that Ulver was one of their biggest influences when forming Agalloch.

Great album!!but the running part in capitel 3 is too long..:P

Then from now on you've to skip the first track and keep on listening to the rest for 100 times, finally you will realize this album is more than 7.
This album is more to show off the "detailed and beautiful sounds of musical instruments", not really the atmospsheric parts of black metal, therefore there're great isolations in between harsh vocals and guitar works.

There's far too much fantastic music in the world for me to listen to than dedicate my time to this.

Awesome debut. I would love to buy it.
