http://www.youtube.com/user/andreasantonopoulos <-- this guy has the rest of the songs until youtube inevitably deletes them soon

i think doing this album is a very respectable move but i don't care so much for this type of music. regardless of that, it's their first album since blackwater park that i will even consider purchasing, so... well played i guess

When's the official release date?

 

[einride]

soonish

 

[dorian gray]

I ordered the super ultra mega boxset

 

[einride]

i have a friend who preordered the morbid angel illud divinum insanus mega-boxset after hearing a live youtube version of nevermore

he almost cried when he opened the package and the reality of the jumbled, overwrought mess of incense holders and bad music came tumbling down

 

[dorian gray]

hahahahahaha
the Opeth boxset has neatly colored vinyl though

 

[lurch70]

just from that one song I heard ... it's the best stuff they have ever done.

 

[Krilons Resa]

It's not that good...just sayin'.

 

[MFJ]

It's not that good...just sayin'.

q4t. it's just soft opeth again... acoustic guitars, digital mellotron, and very typical opeth melodies. it's cool but nowhere near interesting or important. some great basslines though

 

[dorian gray]

looking forward to it

 

[swizzlenuts]

I really liked The Devil's Orchard when it was released. I have been listening to the other tracks a bit, and it's just kind of meh. It's disjointed and a lot of weird ideas flowing through.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Do we have to?

 

[Ellestin]

I still love it. First one I'll buy since Still Life. I doubt being overly analytical about how it fares compared to "real" 70's prog rock is a relevant course. It's just great music period imho, and I like that it's "disjointed" a little, gives it more stamina.

 

[dorian gray]

First Opeth album since 1998? Jeeze. They really turned you off, yeah?

 

[ChaosLee]

I have listened to this album three times... and realized I have no desire to listen to it again. It just does not work for me.

 

[Reign in Acai]

This album propelled me to listen to Orchid earlier, fucking gaymayzing work. I reckon it's my favorite from the catalogue. OT: I check this new one out in it's entirety on the morrow.

First Opeth album since 1998? Jeeze. They really turned you off, yeah?

still life really was the last thing they did that was not shit

 

[Ellestin]

also technically, it was 1999, not 1998. Major difference!

 

[dorian gray]

Well...it was written in 1998....yeah, that's it

 

[Agalloch]

The songwriting on this is so random. I've listened 4 or 5 times now and it's still not clicking.
