No Damnation is a 3.5.

Album Rating: 4.0

Both are a 4/5 imo. But neither are even close to being among my favorite Opeth records

Album Rating: 3.0

Heritage-PC-Sorceress-ICV revisit session: Listening to this again now. My issues still are those that are well documented by now, mostly relating to drum sound and general production issues (hollow, a bit overblown, crushed, especially during the heavy sections). Additionally, I really can't stand those voice over bits (they're very short of course, but still irritate me a lot).



The actual tracks aren't at all that different from the PC approach. Some are very enjoyable. Will O The Wisp is a beaut.

Album Rating: 3.5

Title track, will o the wisp and Era are the standouts. Garden of the titans version of Era and Sorceress are just so much better then studio versions

Album Rating: 3.0

Agreed. The production sucks the life out of moments that would otherwise be kind of cool. Don't like the Persephones. Don't particularly care for both of the t/ts, Chrysalis, and Era (Titans version of that one is cool though).



Seventh Sojourn is very nice, another high (next to Wisp). Portions of Strange Brew and A Fleeting Glance (first few minutes are fantastic!) are cool too.



This definitely is their low point still, yet it isn't below a 3.0.

Album Rating: 1.5

'so you're telling my it's on par with Damnation'

Absolutely no way, in fact you'd have to add mine and Trif's ratings together before we get to Damnation. Beautiful album.

Album Rating: 3.0

Johnny being !!!!!!!!!, as per usual sometimes often occasionally every now and then.



Forgot how super cool Fleeting Glance is. Such a pity that it is muffled by that incredibly weird choice of production. Another highlight despite this.

Album Rating: 3.5

I think A Fleeting Glance is one of the tracks that suffer the least from the ass production. Such a tune

Album Rating: 3.0

Fleeting Glance tries so hard to be good but it never really works.

Album Rating: 3.3 | Sound Off

Will o the Wisp, Sorceress 2, and A Fleeting Glance are my top 3. Agreed that the Garden of the Titans versions of the t/t, The Wilde Flowers, and Era are improvements.

Album Rating: 3.0

Almost agree here as well Talons!



ICV is up next on revisit-last-four-Opeth day!

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

Last half > First Half

Album Rating: 3.0

Agreed, apart from Wisp.

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

Wisp is great, but too reminiscent of Jethro Tull. Chrysalis I like more.

Yeah it Tulls like a trooper but it’s still a belter.

Album Rating: 3.0

In fact, the only one I don't particularly care for is Sorceress. (Persephone doesn't count either.)



Edit: oooooops, wrong thread.

Album Rating: 4.0

I give this record a lot of stick but I still absolutely LOVE a Fleeting Glance.

It's inspired me to give this record another go tbh.

This one is an absolute blinder

Album Rating: 3.5

i don’t know what that means but i’ll assume it’s positive

Album Rating: 1.5

honestly belter is better than blinder in this context, must be where the confusion came from

shout out to barnstormer tho, that's tight af
