On personal front, Sahar was a great guy. I never realised that it will reach upto the point of animosity with staff, and shockingly for years. Lately, she was showing her signs of taking it personally, but from many years?Strange

It is a rarity with music to find an album that you truly and utterly love. To reach the "absolutely love" status, one must not just like the music, but connect with it. They must feel what the musicians felt during the writing process. Where Distant Spirits Remain is an album I truly love.
Am I ever glad I stopped reading my Taxation textbook to listen to this album. Awesome album. This is precisely the kind of album I've been waiting for all year. One that blew me away from the beginning moments of the first song.
A great album indeed and maybe even the best debut of the year. Maybe. It reminds me a lot of Grey Waters and the fascination for their EP has worn off quite fast. Let's see if this album can keep my attention for a longer time.

I'm disappointed by this. Not because it's bad, but because it could have been a lot better. The vocals are incredibly weak here and totally detract from the atmosphere the music creates. Top-notch songwriting though. Soothing, yet varied.

I found this a really strong release. The structure of the songs isn't drowned by the atmospheric part of it and that's really nice. The vocals could be better (though i don't find them bad at all) but the melodies that are in them are captivating.
Wow, I was a little wary checking this out, because of all the hubbub about the vocals, but honestly, it's just people being "Tr00" and close minded about clean vocals. This album is fantastic, it's not the most original album out there, but the instrumentals are just perfect, and just when it's starts to get repetitive, it ends.

Review coming soon.
It wasn't just the vocals to me, though, the whole thing just sounds bland as hell. I liked it a lot after the first or second listen, but after that it just shows how stale and "meh" it is.

I don't know, I've listen to it again all weekend and this morning it was even better, I can see why people don't like it though, they aren't your perfect band by any means, but I find the amaturistic vocals as very emotional, and this has lots of atmosphere and little
Really love the music on this album. Didn't mind the vocals at first, but they grew irritating the more I listen, though sometimes I don't mind them. Kinda interested to see how the vocals work on the next album.
After being initially turned off by the vocals, I decided to give this another chance. I'm still not a huge fan of the vocals, and I do like clean vocals but the music is an awesome posty folky mix that really conjures images of the emerald isle. Hopefully their new lead singer is better on the next album which I am actually psyched for now.
A lovely stew of Agalloch-esque soundscapes with Alcest-esque cleans, all with a dash of unoriginality. Though Falloch may attempt to emulate the sound of these two great bands, they do so very poorly. While shoegaze may be a genre I quite like, the recycled guitar work and weak vocals really put this album down.
