Split 10" with Nest-The only reason i got it was because i found it at my favorite cd store in a pile of random records. It's a collectible and i was like "wow, i'm going to get this because it may be worth something down the road." This is a single song by each band; "Wolves Of Timberline" by Agalloch and "Last Vestige Of Old Joy" by Nest (an ambient band thats for some reason in metal archives, the site is so contradicting!!!). The Agalloch song was sort of a bumride because it was 4 minutes, while Nest did a pretty good job for a band i don't like. Their song was 5 minutes and had some meaty layers of atmosphere. For fans of black ambient, folk, and post-rock genres. Overall rating: 6.7/10
The Photo Album-A simple EP by death cab for cutie. Didn't do too much for me. It was in their mediocre transitionary phase, and after i listen to it, i forget that i even heard it. Overall Rating: 4.8/10
The Quest For Immortality-The rarest release i have in my collection. This rare new jersey power metal band put their best into this one demo. My dad went to a party and got it, he left it in his cassette collection for 20 years until i came around; he gave it to me, i threw it in the attic, and i found it a couple of weeks ago. I took a real listen this time around, and it was pretty good. The vocals sound alot like geddy lee of rush, and the music sound like iron maiden. The only bad thing about it was the one or two ballads on the cassette, besides that, it's catchy. It's upsetting the band got nowhere and no one ever heard of them. Recomended to fans of: Rush and Iron Maiden. Overall Rating: 8.8/10
We Are Not Alone-Probably the only recent alternative hard rock band that i have a cd for. I don't know why i like them, i guess they're sort of a guilty pleasure. They're catchy. The tracks don't really go much of anywhere, but two or 3 songs have some progressions in it that make it sound different from the others. Recomended to fans of: Lostprophets, Disturbed, Lucerin Blue. Overall rating: 8.5/10
Ashes Against The Grain-Best of all Agalloch releases, by far. This is mainly for fans of their early black material, and fans of their folk material. This cd is really a fusion of the old and new material, but with alot more balls. It has strong vocals, great melody, blasting double bass. Each song has it's own individual reasons to listen to it. Limbs, for its beauty. Falling Snow for its melodies and blasting drums. Fire Above, Ice Below for its darkness. Not Unlike The Waves for it's dark melody and strong beauty. and the trilogy track our fortress is burning for its power. When you listen to Agalloch, you can't listen to one song, you need to listen in full; if not, you have to listen to the song in full (each one around 7-14 minutes). Recomended to fans of: Opeth. Overall Rating: 11/10
