Marrow is great, took me a lot of listens to appreciate it properly, but it's probably my fave to return to for the last few years

I've completely exhausted everything pre-Marrow, and while I love those records, Marrow is my go to Agalloch, especially in the winter

I can understand thinking any of the first 4 is their best tbh, especially the first 3.

John even said that after Marrow they were low on inspiration and going through the motions, so the way this turned out makes sense.

That doesn't like up with aby interview I've read. John has always said he's happy with that album (unlike how he feels about Ashes)

In 2014 came out The Serpent & the Sphere – the last album, and by than the band was embraced by a lot of people outside the metal scene, on one hand you had prog and shoegaze fans and on the other hand you still got the respect in the black metal and dark metal press and community
I do really enjoy that album. It got great press but the fan reaction was a bit cold compared to the previous four albums. I still think it is a solid record and achieved what we were going for at the time. I remember playing shows in 2015 in support of that album and when I would announce a song from it, I literally could hear a few groans in the audience. I don't know why that album is regarded our worst by many people but it really isn't up to me to understand it anyway. I'll admit that I do terribly miss playing "Plateau Of The Ages" live. That final crescendo was just incredible on stage - almost reaching a spiritual level - and was always the highlight for me after playing for two hours night after night.

He may have liked how it turned out, but that is what he said. He wasnt speaking about the album, he was just talking generally, so there isnt really any contradiction there. You can make something while low on inspiration and still feel like it came out well.

Fair enough, although him saying he doesn't understand why that album would be regarded the way it is doesn't quite seem to line up with the inspiration thing either.
I'd still be interested in the actual interview you're referencing if you (or anyone) can find it

Turmoil doesn't necessarily lead to bad material - see Beatles, Black Sabbath (not Technical Ecstasy)
I love Plateau, agreed the final crescendo is super special, dope that you got to play it mate

I'm still not over the fact that Pillorian was taken away from me. Am still very bitter. It's not fair, they were so good.

Yeah growing on me like an annoying fucking wart. I might lower this rating, it's SO obnoxiously mid for a band that has had nothing but 5's before this.
