I'm 'other'
It's in my local shop, but I could only afford one cd and I like Katatonia more than Opeth, and their new one arrived the same day, so......
I'm curious to hear it, but it's unlikely I'll buy it until I'm a little more financially stable, I don't want to risk what little money I can spare on a 'non-metal' album (there's so many albums I want, it's not that it's non-metal as such, but it's going to be a bit different than their other ones I think, and I just can't take the risk. If it was a regular 'metal' Opeth album, then I'd buy it right away)
I got mine free after I burned it off a program called Kazaa . I enjoy the music but my complaints are I think they should used more solos and should of threw some more songs or doodles or whatever but I know mike was stressed and just wanted to get the shit done. and go home.
Should definitely be an option for more than just "I like it". Too terrible of an understatement. It's a masterpiece. Has not and will not leave my cd player for a very long time. As for the solos thing, I agree, but the solo on Windowpane is fucking beautiful. One of their most melodic solos to date.
I got my copy at Skinny's (Cos I didn't know there was a 'JB' in Brissy City centre at the time) for $25, then the next day when I'm in the line out front for the Signing, I hear a couple o' guys mention that 'JB' have ot for $20
At least I told my friend before he bought his copy at Skinny's.
It hasn't even been released here yet... and i'll get like a month after it has been relased in the US... becose its after a month it has been relased in the 'states', that i can get here in Mexico.. maybe sooner.. who knows.
