I see no one's particularly happy with the new Opeth
That's because they turned into The Mikael Åkerfeldt Trololo Experience....

I haven't even given it a chance tbh, I was never the greatest of Opeth fans. They are (were?) a good band, one of very few bands that I think managed to combine growl and death metal parts with clean singing and more mellow parts in a really good way. And since that was the aspect I liked about them I have no interest in what they currently do...growl and death metal parts or gtfo!

Only good track is Faith in Others which is one of the best nonmetal tracks of 2014, but as an album, PC sucks. Eternal Rains didnt save it either.

I haven't listened to it but people are saying Alcest have kind of gone too soft, what with the lack of extreme vocals and that. How did you like Shelter?

Based on some recommendations I've found on this topic and elsewhere, here are a few releases that I picked up and have been enjoying this week: Cretin - Stranger, Dimesland - Psychogenic Atrophy, Saor - Aura, Teitanblood - Death, tētēma - Geocidal

"Faith in Others" is such a great song. I agree though, that and "Eternal Rains Will Come" are the only two songs I really enjoy.

I enjoy this project, but some of their more upbeat songs tend to lose me. ("Blk Stallion" especially.)
"Ninety Ninety Four," though. That song<3

Yep, sadly the new album is a snoozefest. The magic disappeared with the screams.
Stefan will try to convince you otherwise.

I see no one's particularly happy with the new Opeth
Here's the thing about it for me...
It was not bad. It had some tracks I thought were nice and pleasant (I did especially like the track "Goblin" as it did hit that 70's Italian giallo vibe that the BAND Goblin perfected so well), but there was simply not one track on there that resonated with me on a profound level.
There was nothing that made me go "yes. This is Opeth. This is why I love this band".
Previous albums delivered that.
It was better than Heritage, but it will be several albums before I think they re-hook me. For the time being, my interest in Opeth is on hiatus....and that makes me sad to say.
