I hope that, pal. I think he has many more things to share with us. At least, I sincerely wait for that.

the title (at the time) had me wondering, but nothing since has given me reason to believe Mikael is about to call it quits

who knows really tho, a lot of these things depend on life circumstances etc.

I highly doubt they would be stopping anytime soon, slowing down maybe. If the band where to call it quits or close to it, there would be a huge hubub about it. This albums the way it is because shaking lff metal song writing rust and because he Mikael loved succsession the tv show. And they started their own label

Excellent review (as always). Generally agree with your take Garland. Perhaps it is my own historical bias towards this band, but Opeth at their most mediocre still manage to produce a record that is comfortably above average for me.

revisiting this, and probably mirroring my own comments from some pages ago, but this is literally everything I wanted from an Opeth record post - Heritage. it's not perfect, but hits in all the right spots and can definitely see myself bumping this at some point

Mikaels hinted at early retirement from touring apparently. Citing how stressful and exhausting it



Exit: Nvm was bullshit

His label put a quick stop to those ideas.

The last one peaked higher for me. This one was just kinda okay and I kept getting fleetingly positive thoughts of encouragement but they didn't develop further.

I got back into Watershed tho off the back of this, so silver linings and all that

I absolutely agree. But, actually, we must add the great music quality of it, too.
