HERITAGE

What a fantastic record. To me this is by large their best album so far. I know that some of Opeth's fans may be a little disappointed with the release of Heritage for even though it has almost all of the elements that previous Opeth album had, there has been a change of direction. And yes it has a very powerful scent of 70's rock all through it as some previous reviewer has noted but for me this is a very good thing. There are no death/black metal voices which were an element I disliked in previous albums. I enjoyed most of them but I'd preferred that kind of voices to disappear? and finally? here you are. It has to be said that even though this is still progressive metal music there are a lot of calm moments and you can hear space rock, jazz rock and even classic prog-rock moments through it. I'd say that if you are into Porcupine Tree, Black Sabbath, 70's rock? you will enjoy this record. One of the albums of 2011 along with Graveyard's Hisingen Blues and Phideaux' Snowtorch.
