Opeth is a completely different type of band than Bloodbath. You cant expect them to be similar.

I mean on the Bloodbath album they come at you left and right but here there's only two that i have noticed


Wrong review dude. Sorry, no super, crazy, death metal, glass eating vocals to be found here.

Nope, just good quality death metal growls that I actually like.

I'm not saying he should go crazy but that's his calling card. Even on past opeth albums they appeared much more frequently, or at least i feel like they were. A minor nit-pick that really had no effect on my rating.

I also feel his growls have become much less inspired, kind of like he was doing them just because he is mikael akerfeldt. I think they should just do away with them for Opeth because their sound really isn't Death Metal anymore and his singing is much better than it used to be.

It's a great song but the vocals just dont have the power of older opeth albums and newer other projects of his like bloodbath or whatnot (i'm really not a bloodbath fanboy it just supports my opinion in both of these cases)

his harsh vocals seem to lack that power of old and is more like him going through the motions

I think they're pretty much the same as they have always been. I will agree that they might have been a little more brutal on albums like Orchid and MAYH, but it doesn't hurt any of their albums after those.

How the hell can you give this album, or Opeth in general, a 2?

Yeah but a 4.5-5 means it's comparable to Still Life, which it is not.

Still Life is my favorite as well. The this, and it's pretty close.

gah this keep growing off of me with every successive listen. It's still great, but i just

listened to Still Life prior to this and this seems much weaker. Still, Heir Apparent,

Lotus Eater, and Hessian Peel are enough to keep this a low 4.



tbh I might like Ultra Beatdown more than this :oThis Message Edited On 07.23.08

wow bodom. Ultra Beatdown was a Ultra Letdown.



It was still good enough to warrant a 4, but I wanted to be so much better than it was. This destroys Ultra BeatdownThis Message Edited On 07.23.08

I'm assuming Ultra Beatdown sounds exactly the same as all their other stuff right?
