I haven't heard an Opeth album since Damnation was released. Bits and pieces since then, but nothing impressed me really. But, I plan on picking up Heritage eventually, if anything the cover art reminds me of one of the final cut scenes in Exile:
(Around the 1:43 mark is a tree full of heads.)
I've been a massive fan of NIN for 20 years. I own Halos 1 through 27, and a few unique copies of some of those. But I stopped at Halo 28, because I heard one song, thought it was lame, and my trusted people have confirmed just that, so I haven't bothered. Maybe someday.
Partially thanks to a bunch of gift cards, I just bought:
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Mayhem - Deathcrush
Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame
Emperor - IX Equilibrium
Vhöl - s/t
Vastum - Carnal Law
KMFDM - UAIOE
Red Flag - The Eagle And Child
Otis Redding - Otis Blue
Those last three are for the wife, but I'll probably listen to them anyhow. And I think that settles it for me, but I have a few days to figure out what else I'm missing... maybe.
