OPETH: Sorceress

[DigitalMan]

The sound of this new disc is what is ruining it for me more than the lack of aggression...

The drums sound muffled and to high in the mix which makes the whole listening experience sound condensed and dull...

YES, this is exactly what I was coming here to post. I listened to the CD for the first time in my car this week and I've got a decent sound system there. This CD is a huge muddy, muffled mess. The acoustic songs are almost listenable, but everything else is un-listenable. I'm not a production snob, but this thing sounds terrible in my car. It's like the producer just turned everything up to 11. I can't make out any individual parts, it's just mush. I can't even tell if the music is progressive anymore because I can't hear anything. I like prog rock too so I've continued to buy Opeth's recent disks and enjoyed them for what they were but this is the first disk that is so un-listenable the band is now kicked off my "blind buy" list.

MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT: 'The Essence Of OPETH Is Change'

 

[ConnieOH]

Went to the Sorceress tour show in early October and really enjoyed it. For me, Opeth is more of a live experience band rather than a CD listening band [exception: Blackwater Park]. I just enjoy watching them play, and Mikael's sense of humor is always great. This time I really noticed the light shows, especially during Devil's Orchard - it was quite cool!
