Quote from the review summary:
-- After spending a decade refining their prog rock chops
Really now? The decade Opeth refined their chops were from 1998 to 2007. The decade the summary is talking about, is about the band managing its inexorable decline.

^ That's why it bugs me when people call Heritage onward their "prog" era. Their entire discog has been their prog era, lol
A more accurate way to put it would be their "vintage" or "70s" prog era

steven wilson's prog era started in 2005

^^Opeth refining their "vintage" prog rock era; that's highly debatable as well.
They are not nowhere near really important, but criminally underrated prog rock outfits of the 21st century, like Malady from Finland, for instance.

I strongly disagree, Voivod, but I really don’t want to get into a semantic war. I think the band’s vocal and instrumental ability has grown substantially from Heritage onward; rather than leaning on their metal influences to create dynamic variety, they have been forced to build that variety using subtler tools. Whether you like the compositions themselves is another question, but the pre-Heritage Opeth simply could not have produced a pure prog rock album as refined and balanced as In Cauda Venenum. I still like their pre-Heritage stuff more, broadly speaking, but I’m not talking about taste here, I’m talking about technical ability.

Like, style-wise, my favourite Opeth stuff is the first 3 albums, and it always will be. But those albums are incredibly messy. There’s a difference between inspiration and skill, and unfortunately, I would say that Opeth are at a point in their career where their technical chops are incredibly strong, better than they ever have been, but they’re just not as inspired. Heritage was their last gasp of real imaginative brilliance, and even that one was on somewhat shaky ground.

If you’re talking about the closer on this, yeah, I agree.

Closer has a totally different feel now that I know what the album and the song in particular are about. I actually like it a lot.

I give this album a 4.5, it's excellent, the first time I listened to it I didn't love A Story Never Told either, but it really grew on me, it's a beautiful ending to the album.

I enjoy how the album is a long stream of music, it flows really well. Time will tell whether or not the songwriting holds up, I guess

Opeth is alright in my book
