Album Rating: 4.5

When this came out, it was almost universally seen as being mediocre. I'm very glad that its reputation has improved over the years.

Album Rating: 3.5

It's still mediocre compared to their work before this imo, it's just not mediocre compared to their past 3 albums

Album Rating: 4.7

This is top tier Opeth. Seriously is fucking incredible.

Album Rating: 3.5

It's much better than everything that came after it.

Album Rating: 4.5

Top tier Opeth [2]

Album Rating: 4.7

All of their albums except the past 3 are top tier Opeth.

Album Rating: 4.0

Derelict Herds should have been in the standard tracklist, it would have closed the album with a bang after the false quiet ending of Hex Omega

Some of this is top tier Opeth, some of it is lower/almost bottom tier Opeth.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah this record would benefit from the complete removal of porcelain heart

Album Rating: 4.0

Nah, Porcelain Heart it's great, I dig its structure. I'd cut Burden or Hex Omega or both and just place Derelict Herds instead of them. That said I'd search for a way to implement Burden's intro into my hypothetical version of the album, because it's beautiful and it's basically the only memorable part of the song
