I think Deliverance alone makes this at least a 2.5.

Interesting view on this album. Dont agree at all, I think its one of their strongest. I do agree on the comma comment.

"I've heard [Master's Apprentice] several times and can only remember the intro to save my life. It's not a particularly good intro either; the mid-tempo riff that rolls out is incredibly dull and lifeless, the blastbeat is downright unnecessary and Mikael's growls that ensue sound strained, and even robotic, like he's just reading the words off a paper. There's no atmosphere to be found in this song, no nothing, no climax- it just plods and plods and plods until the band starts to run out of tape and end the song on an incredibly dull note; that's not even beginning to describe how 70 percent of the song is just variations of its already dull main riff. And even the soft section, usually the best parts of the Opeth song, while admittedly pretty sounding, just sounds like stock Opeth. No jokes to be found here, you could literally switch this soft section out with literally any other soft section and nothing could be different."
Even if you didn't basically admit that you've only listened to this song a handful of times, it's easy to tell that that's the case. It's seriously one of Opeth's most climactic and slow-burning epics and the payoff is absolutely gigantic, with one of Mikael's most gratifying screams ever recorded.
Not a bad review but bad (albeit uncontroversial, I understand) opinion.

I agree with Memento. Decent review but I disagree with it too. This album isn't a masterpiece but is definitely better than many people think.

I don't think this is anywhere near Opeth's best albums, but man is this a harsh review. My personal chief complaint with the album is that some songs do overstay their welcome and would have benefited from some better editing, but calling them lifeless and dull definitely is a harsh statement to make. Master's Apprentices was my favorite song of the album for a long time and felt like the most accomplished statement from this album. I really like Deliverance, but even then that song probably could have been shortened by 3 minutes with very little loss.
I'm not negging this review because it is well written in overall, but I fully disagree with it.

Terrible opinion but review was fine, didn't deserve to get ratioed. The Opeth bros are out in full force this morning.

It was about as bad last night too. Again, this isn't a bad review.
