This album reinspired my hopes for new Opeth in this modern age, but I'm so curious to see where they go from here.

Album Rating: 4.5

Me too.

In Mikael's interview with Ola Englund for this album, they realized that the "non-growling era" of Opeth was longer than the "growling era". Seemed crazy to hear at first. But Mikael sounded like he got out of his system any of his feelings towards that whole idea and now anything is on the table. This album just seems like a perfect middle ground, and they knocked it out of the park.

You don’t care for Ghost Reveries?? This is my personal favorite since Watershed, though I actually do like all the 70s prog inspired records

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I like those too, and honestly no, not so much, I mean I enjoy GR a lot, but nowhere near as much as everyone else seems to, and in the context of Opeth’s discog I’ve never really understood how it’s near the top for a sizable number of fans.
