DAMNATION

I loved this album. Yes it might be a bit contorversial, since the connection with PT and Wilson, etc etc. But being in a band is also about taking risks, and thats what Opeth has done, they have showed their progressive side by "progressing" to a lighter album, as Porcupine Tree has done by "progressing" to a slightly heavier side. Yes it might leave a few people dissapointed, but thats what progressive music is about, you can't just expect a band to continue giving the same kind of melodies and instruments, you have to experiment, you have to be risk taking. I congratulate Opeth on this album, for their risk taking and progression, as well as the wonderful and calming melodies in this album. I rank this high with Blackwater Park and Still Life as one of their best albums. Give it a try.
