Of course, by "disappointing", I don't mean "shit"; Opeth are the sort of band that are physically incapable of being such a thing. What I mean is that this album is merely "very good" rather than the usual "mindblowingly, orgasmically fantastic" that I've come to expect from a band of this calibre. By all means buy this album, just don't expect it to be a work of genius. That's what it should be, but unfortunately it isn't. The bonus DVD footage is quite enlightening though. __________________ "This racist lady won't let us play catch!"

Perhaps opeth's best album yet I think.... and I'm not a huge opeth fan It has just the right balance of clean a la damnation, contrasting with the brutal side a la deliverance, so a more clean version of ghost reveries. The contrasting moods, and how Akerfeldt plays around with the 'riffs' (if they could even be called that here) is mezmerizing. As soon as you here the acoustic intro to this album, you'll be hooked, say I. __________________ no i am not a wizard Top Mon, 23/06/2008 - 15:32 #2 darkish_angel87 Offline Joined: 17/10/2005 I've listened to it another 3 or 4 times and my opinion of it has improved somewhat. My only criticism is that I think a couple of the songs, such as Hessian Peel, are a bit too loosely structured, and this is probably why it took me quite a few listens to properly appreciate the album. __________________ "This racist lady won't let us play catch!"
