Favorite Opeth album I have. I want to know who's the chick who sings in Coil. Nathalie Lorichs
besides your drawbacks with Burden which I thought was a fantastic song (the King Crimson influence is really prominent in that tune which is awesome). Don't get me wrong, it's a decent song. I just find some parts to be really annoying.
this album is too "zzz" at points for me but it still has some gems, the first three tracks rule and so does hex omega Pretty much how I felt until I started listening to it a lot.This Message Edited On 06.03.08

I'm pretty sure that Nathalie Lorichs is Axe's girlfriend.

I'll be sure to look up that name if she's in any other projects because Coil is phenominal.

Your opinion around here is way more credible than mine Mikesn ;). Just like to throw in my two cents.

I think this is their weakest album since My Arms, Your Hearse; The Lotus Eater and Burden were the only tracks that wowed me really. Coil, Heir, and Porcelain are all good too, but Hessian Peel's soft-to-loud transition is awkward and Hex Omega sounds frustratingly incomplete.

The end of Burden was a big wtf moment for me. It would make a great ending if the guitars didn't sound so out of tune

Well that's kinda what is supposed to be happening.
|

I'm sure it is supposed to be happening. I doubt Opeth would accidentally let something like that slide. But I still thought it sounded pretty bad considering how great it could've been with tuned guitars

yeah I mean the album isn't bad or anything, it's cool but when I compare it to how much I want to listen to this and how much I enjoy listening to say, Still Life or Blackwater Park it's just not the same.
it's an Opeth album, meaning that this is still top-notch and better than 99.9% of what's out there, but I can't help not really getting into this as much as some other Opeth albums. i guess for every band you need to have a favourite album?

That is my favorite part of the whole album.

Best song is probably Hessian Peel, then Heir Apparent.
I agree, Hex Omega does seem a little incomplete. I think it would have benefitted with some death growls, it starts with a monstrous riff, one of Mikael's best even, but it's kind of a letdown after that.
But this is awesome, probably my 3rd or 4th favorite from them. Slightly better than Ghost Reveries. I just wished there were more growled vocals here, it's a little frustrating that they only appear in 3 tracks (and they're only really prominent in one) but it doesn't really bring the album down, it's just something i would've liked to have more of.

Ghost Reveries has some better individual songs (Ghost of Perdition, Harlequin Forest), but this one is sooo much easier to listen to all the way through. The slightly shorter length might also be a factor in that, though it's easy for me to get through most of Opeth's albums.
