Opeth is my favorite band...I've heard two new songs, and that is it till' August 30th when I buy it.  From what I've heard so far, this album looks to be their most diverse.  and I'm really glad.  I love how Opeth does something new with each release, in this case, many things new.  Can't make another album that sounds like my arms, still life, bwp...Deliverance was the result of them taking the same path again and it wasn't as good.  However the album's Morbid Angel riffage blew me away.  I'm all for bands progressing and keeping things fresh.  Can't just play the same style forever it eventually gets generic and uninspired.

Well, I found the album on a P2P network and so far I'm not impressed. I'm a huge Opeth fan though... I guess it'll need many more listens.

Somehow this sounds way more "american" than previous albums. I find that it incorporates too many elements from ProgMetal bands like DT... meh


if i want to listen to an album that sounds like Opeth's old stuff... i'll listen to Opeth's old stuff. i'm about half-way through my first listen of the album, and i like the slightly different sound. isn't that what prog is all about? a band progressing it's style and incorporating loads of different sounds?


Well duh, but if the band does not progress in a way that pleases my taste, I'm not going to praise them solely for progressing.
