This album is pretty awesome, in fact, its probably my favorite opeth album. Its probably because I like 70's progressive and death metal equally, which makes this album really enjoyable for me.

Sure, the lyrics are a disgrace to Opeth's standards and Axenrot's drum piece at about 2:13 is pointless.




Lyrics are up to Opeth standards and the drum fills used at that part of the song are brilliant. God, I can tell no one drums around here hahaha.

The drum fill in Porcelain Heart is completely out of place and just dilutes the flow of the song. Sure, Opeth have a knack at making music sound chaotic and give a feeling of beautiful despair (see Still Life), but come on, really. It is as if the drum fill is simply a tech demo, however personally if I wanted that in the middle of my song i'd listen to some mindless, pointless OMGIAMSOFAST shit like Dragonfarce.



When I first heard Porcelain Heart I nearly cringed at the vocals. They are just downright poor and disappointing; I expected a lot more from Mikael since the vocals really do make so many of Opeth's songs what they are (again, see Still Life, particularly the clean vocals of Godhead's Lament).

In to repeat that Porcelain Heart contains high levels of awesomeness.

I at first didn't like the drum fill at all too, but after I listened to it 20+ times it starts to kick in. That whole song tries to be as awkward as possible, so it kind of fits right into the song. The song starts a melody then overlaps it with a heavier melody. I think its one of the more creative songs they have done in a while, perhaps some of the avant-garde influence he was hinting at when he talked about this album. I doubt Michael put that drum fill to show off his new drummer...This Message Edited On 06.10.08

I still can't decide what my favorite is. Or least favorite for that matter; not even Hex Omega. Overall rather simplistic but the creepy mood makes this song. I love that devilish riff after the last verse.



Heir Apparent and Hessian Peel may be some of their best.

If only drummers are able to like the drumming in a song, I wouldn't see that as a good thing.

Hahahah I was just saying that the drum fill in Porcerlain Heart goes over most peoples heads.



Whole album = win. I obviously favour one song over another, but as a whole, album flows perfectly.

I play drums and I like the drum fill okay I guess, but it's nothing amazing and nothing that I think would go over people's heads.
