What the fuck, I just came in to post this, and I do not appreciate your typical flippancy! The last two were brilliant! The last one is my favourite, for fuck's sake. I was actually looking forward to a follow-up. I have been bummed about this all afternoon.

No its good they are over.
Even if you liked the last two slabs of boring uninspired whatever, they sounded like they came from a totally different band. Dudes were getting into way different stuff. It wasn't agalloch anymore.

I mean don't get me wrong. Everything up through ashes was life changing and really important to me. I supported the last two in hopes they would rekindle their interest and put out an actual agalloch record again. They didn't. Instead they broke up. Now I can come out that those records sucked.

I make no claim to being an OG Agalloch fan so maybe I was able to see the newer stuff in a different way. Not better, I'm not being petulant or anything. I get it. I have a ton of bands like that."The phenomenon of growing to dislike or resent your favorite band over time because they no longer tie directly into your past experience of them... This happens with every band who has made more than one album and amassed any kind of fanbase. It's certainly been the case with [Say Anything]."

Not really an Agalloch fan, but from the sounds of it the dude just fired everyone else:
After being inundated by a barrage of responses, I feel that I should clarify some things. I take full responsibility for the decision to part ways with the other guys. It was difficult, well thought-out, and something that had been culminating over the past couple of years. I simply could not continue any further with the band as it was. I had to make a change as my motivation and inspiration had started to completely deteriorate. Whether this is the permanent end of Agalloch altogether or a possible fresh start, I don't know. I probably won't know for awhile. The band has simply been reduced back to its founding, visionary member for the first time in 20 years. Beyond that, the future is unknown.

I saw that. LOLed at "founding, visionary member."

I saw them play a few years ago (they were great) and marveled (chuckled) over his lusciously Pantene'd locks. The aforementioned horn-tooting falls perfectly in line with that hair.

I don't know if I like many of their things other than The Mantle... I'll have to think about it.
