Yes it does :-/



Some parts drag on like a lot and the songs don't really flow into each other in the way that they usually do

Album Rating: 4.7

Completely disagreed bro.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah, I don't see a lot of parts on here that drag and I also think that the songs flow pretty well, except when it's intended that they don't, like in the case of Coil-->Heir Apparent. For example, the transition from Lotus Eater to Burden works amazingly well considering how both songs are on extreme opposite ends of their sound. I agree that the album is all over the place and inhomogeneous, but the songs flow pretty well despite that.



I still think this is a rather inconsistent release, but only for their standards. Porcelain Heart and Hex Omega fall a bit flat for me (those are the reason why this is the weakest of my four Opeth 4.5s) but everything else is entirely convincing imo

Album Rating: 5.0

Hex Omega is so damn great.



Especially that outro omggggggg

Album Rating: 4.0

The riffs that set the foundation for it are great, but I don't like the verses/bridge parts so that's what lets it down for me

Album Rating: 5.0

The verses make me tingle~~~~

I should really listen to Sorceress, 6 or 7 weeks till the gig, maybe? Leaving it late.

Album Rating: 3.5

Sorceress is pretty good the problem for me is that i kind of over played every song because i wanted to like it a lot more than i did, at the end i was just "meh" on it, and i started getting sick of the songs lel, the best song on it imo isnt even on the album, its the bonus track Spring MCMLXXIV

Album Rating: 4.0

If you couldn't stand Pale Communion, I don't see you liking Sorceress. It's way heavier than the two before it though, although I don't think that will really help its case.

Album Rating: 4.0

'way heavier' lol



Porcelain Heart is the only song here that feels lazy

Album Rating: 4.0

If you don't think that Sorceress is "way heavier" than Heritage and Pale Communion, I don't know which album you listened to but it isn't the Opeth one.



And I'm not saying it's a metal album, but over half of the album is heavier than any song on the two before it.

Album Rating: 4.5

Porcelain Heart and Hex are my least fav here but everything else is solid gold.

Tracks 1-3 = Some of Opeth's best material 4/5
Burden = Cheesy, almost cringe-worthy melodramatic ballad 2/5
Porcelain Heart = Dull and forgettable 2/5
Hessian Peel = Back to the quality of the first 3 tracks 4/5
Hex Omega = Good but almost completely forgettable once it's finished 2.5/5

burden was the first opeth song i ever heard lmao

don't understand why they didn't put derelict herds on here. it's seriously better than most of the tracks that made the cut.

Album Rating: 4.0
