Opeth - Heritage | Opeth's 2nd non-metal album!

I hope not. I don't think it's a bad song, but it doesn't live up to the Opeth standard in my eyes... or to my ears, whatever makes more sense.

I'm really looking forward to hearing this! Me too!!

Has this song been mentioned here yet? I wonder if Heritage will be stylistically similar to this.

Every time I listen to it, I think while the songs have individually cool sections, the sections do not belong together.

This type of criticism is common in regards of Orchid, but I can't seem to relate to it. Personally, I find Orchid as a perfect, coherent, and sincere expression of art. It's a wild beast, as opposed to their later albums that progressively (no pun intended) became more tame.

Finally someone who likes Orchid.

And yes Caio, no one believes me because "lol everyone hates St Anger but JJ doesnt so he must be trolling" kinda wish they'd try and get past the sh*t instead of lolstorming. Speaking of which, why do some seem to think this will be Opeth's St Anger? The album fans love to hate? Between here and people I know personally, the response has been overwhelmingly positive and excited. Sure, some talk about the odd album cover but sheesh, chillax people....it has even been leaked yet! Most fans seem excited for a change, and especially one in a less metal direction IMO I wouldn't put it so high up, but among the 5 best, definitely. And yes, St. Anger is hated because Metallica simply dared to be different and you know fans hate to be outside the confort zone (DT will show you that better than anyone with their last 3 albums). it isn't good, I agree, but really, there are much worse music in the top 20 Billboard at any given time.  But I believe people are being keen to hate Heriage because of two words out of Ankerfeldt mouth: no metal. That makle all the difference for a headbanger. Triceratopsoil wrote: CCVP wrote: LOLno. Deliverance is one of their best, no question about it. Besides, if you don't like extreme metal, what are you doing listening Opeth? Seriously Aginor, you are one of the most criptic persons I have ever met. And if you guys REALLY think St. Anger is the epitome of what a bad album is supposed to be, you have never really listened to bad music. EVER. I think you misunderstood him, by "a bliss in my ears" he meant that he likes it LOL, true, sorry 4 that Agi . I thought he was reffering himself to Damnation.

I like to use the word Bliss becouse of this beautifull and honoust short story about love and metaphores, ( had this in british literature class) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_(short_story)

Those are two of my favorite albums in their discography. Although perhaps you think so highly of the other albums that these lose by default. Well, I do think very highly of the three preceeding albums, particularly BWP, but I just found that splitting the two sides of Opeth onto seperate albums didnt at all work. Plus, I hate Lopez's inapropriate drumming on Deliverance. Lopez's drumming on Deliverance is nothing short of brilliant.

Holy sh*t, yeah how'd I miss that one myself?
Inappropriate drumming??
He is one of my all time favorites, therefore you are wrong

But really....I can't even comprehend how you say that.

LOL, personal attacks on the internet.

Don't forget that Dan Swano, and close friend of Mikael, produced their early albums!

Point is: Mikael, Swano and Wilson have a musical three way that I wish I could be part of
