I haven't slept more than three hours in a single night in the past week because I've been sick. So I apologize and my mistake. The pink elephant next to me told me what to write.

I don't trust a store to review games for me. Capitalism at its best, "hey kids, we're gonna give this game a good score, come on in and buy it yuk yuk yuk." Please. Metacritic/IGN/video game review aggregate whose URL I cannot remember are all preferable to Gamespot. And Rahvin's right, only...

Gamespot reviews suck. I don't have time for video games anymore. Jealouzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I don't think compliments get redundant so keep up the amazing work. Its really the homestretch and I'm really excited to hear about the next three songs (god forbid you do the bonus tracks haha) so I'll just wait with baited breath. :P

Those are two fantastic write-ups. I especially liked the emphasis on vocals you pointed out in In My Absence and the totally ridiculous sophistication on The Grandest Accusation which I am having a hard time fathoming. Thanks for the excellent perspective.

I'm going to the Opeth 20th Anniversary Show @ Terminal 5 in April. Very excited, the entire Blackwater Park album from front to back then a second set of rarities. Saving up to buy a t-shirt because apparently they'll have specific shirts for specific venues. Expect to pay out the ass for it...

There are so many solos on this album I lost count. Waaaaay more on this album than any DT album in recent memory (but I'm reluctant to say most ever).

I'm going to post this so I can place-hold my spot in the thread-jacking, as to keep it in one solid block, and I'll edit it later when I have more time to compose a decent response. Stizzle, I wanna buy you a fucking beer (or whatever you drink, or if you don't drink its negotiable). I have...

Agreed. Furthermore, I'm actually excited to get The Fatalist out of the way (not because its bad, its just my least favorite track I think, but they're all fucking great) because I'm dying to hear the analysis on the rest of the album. Iridium might be my new favorite DT track.

NOT A THREADJACK I don't care to dispute your taste at all, so please don't take this personally or see it as an affront. In the simplest way possible, its not that the new In Flames is not "metal" enough, its that it sucks, regardless of genre. Not to step on any toes of those who like the...

Clayman was clearly their last "metal" album. Just don't tell him they're playing bluegrass now.

Though I quoted Magrathean the rest of this post is for Stizzy, just because Magrathean's post above best summarizes how I feel because I can't argue for or against analysis in the sense that you are technically correct (the best kind of correct) so its kind of moot. That being said, I have two...

I came. More eloquent appreciations will follow. :)

Are we able to put personal reviews in this thread? Or shove those into the other WATV thread? Just because I'm really inspired to write about this album... And I'm dying to hear Stizzle's review as well... I can't deal with how good this album is.

Hope you had as much fun writing that as I did reading it. My apologies for misspelling your name. As for your assessment of my potential employment, please know I work two part-timers to pay bills and go to class full time (out of my own pocket to boot, because I am that everyman), and still...
