Evolution is the name of the game for bands with longevity , If people want Blackwater Park go listen to it ... love all the old albums pretty sure I will love this one too
Never been a fan of Opeth (never disliked it though) but i like this. There is to little organ in rock/metal these days
Kind of remins me of a 70's rock act, a bit psychedelic with a touch of progressive elements withoiut getting away from melodies
Hard to say. Its ok. I kinda like it... but Im not in love with the song or anything... Ive been jamming Opeth since fucking Morningrise so Ive definitely seen the changes and appreciate them. We'll see.
The production works except the drums. The thing that bothers me is that the kick drum is quiet and ducks behind the other instruments in parts. In quiet parts the kick gets really loud. The toms are loud and overbearing at every little touch no matter what. So wonky.
I guess my standards of music have lowered because I can't see how this can suck amongst the massive amounts of other massive suckage out there in the music field But then again, maybe I'm not in the know about what sucks, what sucks moderately, and what sucks royally.
