having heard it for the first time last night i came away quite bemused by the whole thing.
Obviously musically it is amazing, but it doesnt seem quite right, it just doesnt seem opeth, i cant say it was or wasnt what i was expecting because quite frankly i wasnt sure what to expect from this.
i didnt warm to the songs atall, they didnt make me go 'thats fucking amazing' how the other acoustic/mellow opeth songs do.For me there is somthing missing, some quallity which makes Opeth work.
The songs are completely different to other acoustic opeth songs, however at some points i found myself expecting a heavy part to come in, which i think the album would have benefitted from.
For what it is the album is very good musically,very original with great melody, but it isnt Opeth.I hope they do not persue this theme for future albums. However i will still be purchasing the album.
Lets just hope this is a one off.
sorry mikeal, better luck next time :Smokin:
