The album flows well with a nice melancholy and haunting mood. Folklore best, Famine worst.

The only two "non-meh" songs I rated are: "I feel the dark" and "The lines in my hand".

If I were to compile a "best-of" list of Opeth songs, none from "Heritage" would make it. Which is saying something because every other album of theirs contains at least a 5 ***** song.

Long story short: "Heritage" is easily their worst album

Album Rating: 2.5

"none from "Heritage" would make it"



I'd throw in Haxprocess as one of the best in Opeth's catalogue.

Seeing them live Monday!

Album Rating: 2.0

Was going to go to the 31st show but I broke my leg. Getting vibes that they might go on hiatus soon. :/

Album Rating: 3.5

personally i liked it but rated it 3.5 because of the repition thing

Great solo in Pyre, reminiscent of Dire Straits.

The Devil's Orchard is probably my favourite off here

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

Listening to some of their older material again knocked my rating down a bit, this really doesn't stand up well.

Album Rating: 3.5

yea i hope they build on it with a new release in the same direction

TAKE THE ROAD WHERE DEVIL'S SPEAK

Album Rating: 4.0

YOUR GOD HAS FORSAKEN YOU, EAT FROM THE TREE OF OPETH. NEVERMIND THE PILE OF HEADS!!! HAIL SATAN!!



I'm in love with the album cover.

i think the only other of their albums that i've listened to since this was released was Damnation.

this style is just... what i wanna be listening to instead.

Album Rating: 4.5

The songs from this were incredible live, particularly the devils orchard

Album Rating: 2.5

I really liked Folklore live.

Album Rating: 4.0

The Devils Orchard was great, and so was Folklore, but The Lines in My Hand and The Throat of Winter were my favorites.

This has really worn off me, not much of a lasting appeal.

Album Rating: 3.0

i think it gets better after each listen

Anyone rating this overly low must simply not like the style or can't accept the fact that this isn't standard Opeth. This is a great album and a huge breath of fresh air for them. Their last few albums were all quality but were bordering on repetitive (though I must repeat that they were very good). As a fan of any type of good music, not just death metal, I love what they did with this. Still need to give it more listens but I'm loving this on vinyl.

Album Rating: 4.0

Heritage is exquisite. The disappointment of some fans is a product of not having another blackwater park to listen, but that does not speak against the quality of this album. The songs are beautifully crafted, performed and recorded. Whether you miss having another death metal album or not, this is obviously a carefully created musical journey worth listening to many times.



Unfortunately there are some teenagers and young male adults with limited brain activity who enjoy the death metal albums of Opeth's simply because they are "hard". These people flock in mass to Slipknot's concerts and are the main reason for teenage shitty metal to exist.
