Yeah it’s listenable to say the least.

Album Rating: 4.5

Nowhere near it for me, especially in a world where Sorceress exists.

The first two thirds of this is peak Opeth to me.

Album Rating: 3.0

Not gonna lie but I found Sorceress to be a few hairs above this record purely because it had more interesting musical twists and turns, even if much of them didn’t land they were still enjoyable. While this on the other hand felt more like Opeth-by-numbers and was more tedious to listen to all the way through.

Hmmm to each their own I guess!

Album Rating: 3.0

I’d say so yeah. Whenever I listen to an album I try to ignore all the criticisms surrounding it, otherwise it kinda poisons the well a bit

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah absolutely. It's not about what others think after all!

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah but this record has Deliverance? the best Opeth song? guys?

Album Rating: 4.5

!!!!! Exactly! Absolutely one of the best Opeth songs. And I would put A Fair Judgement in that same category.

Album Rating: 4.5

hells yes!

> to each their own I guess!



Woah there. That's NOT the sputnik way.



People who rate this under 4.5 are musically incompetent by all objective standards.

There you go.

summer of 2005: my dog died and my sister was at christian camp the whole summer, so there was no-one to talk to at home and i fell into a deep depression. it wasn't until i went to a new coffee shop until i met her, and it took three weeks before i had the courage to talk to her. i was scared i disappointed her because we had less in common than i'd hoped, but then we were by the lakeside and she showed me my first opeth song (from damnation) and everything clicked into place somehow. being with her didn't make me feel better, but it did feel right. she never let me pay for her espresso so it was a surprise when she wanted to move in. she had just two suitcases but more lps than i'd ever seen in my life. i thought i was in heaven and my depression was cured, and even though it didn't feel as right listening to opeth with her anymore i was too happy remembering what it was like to be happy to care that is until my sister came home and said she had sworn a vow of silence but did not respect my new ways and now my only family member will never speak to me again. sometimes it's just an album

take it to ao3

Oh my. What a track.

Even being their weakest outside of the most recent three, it’s actually pretty consistent. A bit too samey for me to feel the need to listen from beginning to end though.

Album Rating: 4.5

High up there for me, mainly due to that impeccable first two thirds. Last two songs are a little step down, but still rule.
