woah!!! i love the sample!!! to be honest, i wasn't expecting it. sorry for the lack of faith!!!
*edit* holy fucking shit, i haven't been this excited about opeth since the first time i heard them!!!
*edit* i don't know what you guys are smoking. this sounds fucking fresh, like a vibe i've never heard in opeth. as a i grow up, picking "favorites" is something i wish i could see through, as all music is beautiful. bands progress no matter what, whether its to stale and heartless, or fresh and vibrant. this to me is fresh and vibrant. ghost reveries didn't seem so fresh and vibrant. maybe its just the place in my life speaking, but i think the issue is a testament to the heart of the matter with music. overall, this album may suck total ass, and maybe even the band thinks so, or may think so down the road, but right fucking now, i love the 15 second sample of porcelain heart.
*edit* in response to the comparisons to the style of the ballads of ghost reveries, i think this sounds nothing, absolutely nothing like it. in fact, to me, it sounds like something i've been waiting for from opeth. i thought they fucking lost track of my important expectations on ghost reveries.
after all this, it is just a stupid little 15 second sample. i shouldn't judge like this.
