Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

Songs didn't really mend together well, felt like just a bunch of random songs put together. Seems like after each track, it just cuts off suddenly, then goes to the next. No sense of merging or fading etc etc.
No song really shined. I'm used to Agalloch making beautiful pieces like Falling Snow and the trio of Our Fortress Is Burning. This album didn't really have any of that.
The album are is interesting, but i'm not entirely sure what's going on in the background through what seems to be a snake. Hence the album title I guess.
Hoping to hear something in the future that brings back what I love about Agalloch, because this album just does not do it.
