^  I started with the Mantle... and loved it.... one of the few PM groups... Mastodon being the other that grabbed me from the first listen.

| The Mantle is one of the finest crafted prog metal albums. |

I really ...really liked it. Once I do finish my Battiato reviews.. 2 more I want to review. To complete his 70's albums... I'd like to give my two cents ...having been so loud about what I don't like... and review some stuff from PM that I do like.

I was a bit different and first heard Ashes Against the Grain last year as the first album I had heard by them (their newest album), and then got a hold of The Mantle and Pale Folklore, and I love all three of the albums. If your after a more Post-Metal approach to their music, I recommend Ashes first off, but if that doesn't worry you, go for Pale first, then Mantle then Ashes to see the evolution of their sound -------------

I started with The Mantle, which I liked right away. Though I think from the responses in this thread you really can't go wrong with where you start. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Great band, agree with the mantle. id steer clear of their first release it still hasnt grown that big on me. Ashes Against... is great too tho more of a post-y kind of sound, more metallic whereas the Mantle was acoustic driven and folksy.

funny enough...I always used to ignore this band by no reason...they were too obscured for me, and I simply forgot about them. This thread (why not in Recommendation lounge?) has awaken my interest, and here I'm listening to "Ashes against the Grain" CD borrowed from a friend (he's a die-hard metalhead)...listening and going insane. THIS IS AWESOME!!!

After more than a year Ashes Against the Grain still stands proud, it's even getting better, I'm getting used to the growling and I even START TO LIKE IT (I would not imagine I'd EVER say that of ANY growling...but here I think it's good!). Certainly one of the greatest albums of 2006! Not Unlike The Waves and Bloodbirds are out-of-this world! ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

For me, at first Ashes Against the Grain was nothing remarkable at all. It took me over 2 months to 'get it', but now that I have, it's amazing .-------------
