This has too many great bits to be a 3 tho

no matter how you cut it, 3.5 != ok

low-mid/low 3.5 = ok and sometimes solid
high 3 = disappointingly ok

zzzzzzzz

damnation owns this shit tbh

Album Rating: 3.5

3.5 is a good rating, some would even say it's great.

those people are crazy apparently lol

damnation is a 1-trick pony snoozeprogfest. most opeth is at least a 2-trick pony.

this is 0-trick 0-pony snoozefest

Album Rating: 3.5

This is mostly a one trick pony with inferior production though. Admittedly the trick is sometimes a good one, but it wears thin at times.

it has that trick that opeth do every time they play metal and then don't in every song they do that has metal in it, so i raise you TWO tricks
also A Fair Judgement beats everything on Damnation except Windowpane at its own game

ah yes the production is pretty bleh here

Album Rating: 4.0

THERE IS A VOICEEEEEE CALLING FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Album Rating: 4.5

"also A Fair Judgement beats everything on Damnation except Windowpane at its own game" This times a million trillion gazillion. It's one of their best tracks (so is Windowpane).

Yeah man, first time I was looking at tabs for Master's Apprentice a long time ago I was like "E? What the fuck."
