Saw that as well a bit earlier today. I love the album a lot, but it all comes down to personal opinion I guess...

And I'm used to people not liking Opeth's music because of the growling vocals, so a few negative reviews for Damnation here and there don't really bother me

 

[gaz]

Chedsey is a well know Opeth hater, no surprise he dosen't like it.
So what ?
Just one guy's opinion.

 

[Demonspell]

I definitely don't agree with the part about Damnation merely being Opeth cloning PT...

 

[LambOfGod]

This review isn't really too good and I read a bunch of the others too. I don't think this is a very great site.

Damn, what's Rahul Joshi's problem with Morningrise?!

He seems to really like Morningrise. MAYH too.

 

[DoReMi]

Damn, what's Rahul Joshi's problem with Morningrise?!

Damn, he actually comes down heavy on Slaughter of the Soul. That's his credibility out the window.

 

[Djm]

OK. He doesn't like Opeth's last few albums. That's fine. It's his opinion.

"Besides, I have just about the entire Porcupine Tree catalogue. No need for a Swedish offshoot."

Now that's just mean.

 

[blakmetalemp]

By now, most of you are aware of Opeth's rise to prominence, strangely built on a series of meandering, pointless releases

BLASPHEMY!!!

 

[Risedfromthedead]

I actually agree on his opinions about the album. I dont think its a good album and I rather play some other music... maybe some Opeth (BWP, SL, MAYH)

Haha. I think Damnation is a good album, but the lack of contrasts stop it from being a #1.

 

[Protected Witness]

You can't please everyone.

 

[Hondo]

The reviews on that site aren't terribly good. They seem to hate a number of things for no reason. It's just opinion of course, but they should at least try to be objective about it.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Normally I don't agree with Chedsey's bizarre reviews... or his relentless Opeth-bashing... but I have to agree with this review. I found "Damnation" to be quite unremarkable and underwhelming.

I found this part of his review to be extremely hilarious:

The eight songs of Damnation are all quite easy on the ears and provide suitable background music if you are reading a novel or grooming your cat. In fact, you may find yourself petting and tending to your cat longer than normal since this album will lull you quite so. Your cat may appreciate multiple listens of this album.

 

[Apoc]

Actually my cat loves Opeth and especially their older production.. She uses to sleep right next to my stereos and never gets disturbed no matter how loud I was playing

edit: maybe they should start selling their records with "mom approved" and "cat approved" labels now..

 

[IanDork107]

Chedsey is in need of castration. He's an asswipe.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

No surprise. He obviously isn't a fan of the band, so he's never going to give them a good review again. No big deal

 

[Apoc]

Rohul Joshi: "Black Rose Immortal" is intolerably boring..

Hahaha! Wtf? *goes and reads it again* HAHAH! Gimme a brake BRI is BORING what the hell? Now what an unimaginative argument anyway.. Pfffft. :cutshiswrists:
