If you think this album takes inspiration from jazz than your review should be dismissed.

yeah man if you can't understand the concept of multiple polarized and sophomoric reviewers writing about the same album then there's no place for you here

K, song Nepenthe is slightly tinged with jazz. Its 2nd part contains kind of a funky flamenco feel. So yeah, there is actually a trace of jazz fusion, my bad.

I dig Famine, and Heritage. I guess I came into this expecting Damnation.

I fail to see how this sounds like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever



If anything this album takes from some prog artists who have a mild jazz/jazz fusion influence (ie Camel or other more rock oriented Canterbury Scene acts).



Jazzy guitar or drumming is different from being influenced by jazz fusion or jazz. Because the descriptor jazzy can refer to much that bears little relation to jazz (ie Deep House, Acid Jazz,). So, I would not object to calling this jazzy in a particular sense, but influenced by jazz fusion, not so much.

^Fair enough. And you have a good point in mentioning the Canterbury Scene cause it's a close cousin of Camel (fav Akerfeldt band). Album is really inspired by the classic 70's progressive rock in the first place. Obviously have to mention more modern bands as well, such as Landberk, Finisterre, Sinkadus or Anekdoten...

After 5 listens this is my 2 (Euro) cents:

This album is giving me the same feeling I got from Load/Reload. A "different" sound from a dominant
band that may be good in its own right but not something I'd listen to if it was released by a
different
band.
To make it clearer, if you told me listen to this album by this unknown band, I'd probably not like
it
very much. But I'm tinged with too much pro-Opeth bias and I feel like I have to like it...

I'll report back after 10-12 listens...

Oh yeah, another thing.
So far, only two songs are moving my needle:
"I feel the dark"
"The line in my hands"

man, I sure hope I'm wrong on this one...
