Pretty sure Opeth's fan base is pretty damn open to whatever Akerfeldt does

Then you clearly missed the backlash when Heritage was released

"Blacklash"... you mean a like 2-3 dudes bitching that there were no growls? I certainly miss them but nearly everyone I talked to about it liked it.

It weeded out all their non-prog fans

I saw quite a few dudes crying about it online, was pretty funny. But I like that they're changing things up. We just need them changed up a bit more now

Always liked Opeth more for their progressive metal side than for their death metal side... not that I particularly liked this one.

I love their new direction, though I wish they'd simply do a progressive metal album. I mean, their typical sound, but without the growls and more emphasis on the prog side

Porcelain heart and Hex Omega?

Okay, this is boooooooooooooring.

More of White Cluster after the 1:30 mark would be sublime

Metal heads struggle with these things

Elitist metalheads you mean. Also, Heritage just might not be their cup of tea; it's not mine. SW also received a lot of backlash cos people blamed him for turning Mikael all soft, which he didn't

Well I think Heritage is average as hell and love PC so there you have that.

I feel the same way but I wouldn't say I love PC, i'd just say it's a damn solid album.

haven't heard all of PC yet but River is better and more ambitious than anything on here

Listen to it more! It'll keep growing on you

I'm glad that Mikael decided to tone down the mellotrons on PC.

They were overused on Heritage imo.

yah pc is excellent
