All of you are in a hurry here...This one demands a lot of listens to grow, to get all the subtleties...











this.



From the tenth listening session and beyond is where the album truly blossoms...



Thinking of bumping my rating to a 4 (started from a 3/5 at first listen), but just not yet.



There are a lot more complex prog rock/metal albums recorded in music history than this (check A Sense of Change or Steps from Sieges Even for instance)

I love how people are saying that if you don't like this, you are not open minded.



Sorry Mikael. I don't particularly like this album because it is pretty generic as prog rock goes, and the transitions are weak.

Herp derp it's not heavy! But seriously, I can understand why this might not sit well with a lot of the band's fans, but for a prog nut like me it's pure bliss.

snooze alert. this album is a comforting but there's nothing jumping out after two listen and two songs that go over 8 minutes. With Coil, Heir Apparent, and lotus eater, watershed IMO was something special. This is still a good album worth a listen, but it's a blip in their discography.

Only4theweak-- As a prog nut, I can say this album is pretty dull. Pleasant, but nothing really engaging. Although I don't think it is any worse than Watershed--I feel the same about this and Watershed.

Exactly a week until I see these guys live. I hope its a great show even though they arent playing any heavy stuff on this tour. They have been playing Closure though, which is fantastic.

I hope they play that shit like they did on Lamentations. It's better that way than on the album.

I'm mostly excited about hearing I Feel the Dark and Patterns in the Ivy 2.

Yeah, I Feel the Dark is my favorite track on Heritage. Should be great to hear live. Its interesting to see they are doing a tour composed of all mellow/no death vocal songs.

They really aren't playing any heavy stuff? Thats really stupid actually, why don't they just pull their best albums off the shelves and get it over with.

i love BWP as much as the next guy but still, it's always good to see metalheads getting pissed off over something "un-metal" that one of their favorite bands does.

I'm fine with a change of direction, but to leave out all the heavy stuff from a live show is pretty disappointing to a long time fan.

Well, I am sure there will be the heavy stuff again in the future. they are promoting an album that has non-metal material and why shouldn't they do a tour of all of their songs with no growls? I think it will be a great experience myself. I think this album is in that right direction they should be heading. Folklore is my favorite off this record by the way. Cheers!
