I loved this album so much. It's definitely a more mellow Opeth album, except for songs like Heir Apparent and The Lotus Eater. However, this IS most certainly Opeth, which is what makes it a great album. These guys never wear on me.

Here's my thoughts:

First three tracks = gold

Burden and Porcelain Heart = good

Hessian Peel and Hex Omega = meh

6 minute, atmospheric Opeth with woodwind instruments FTW. 10 + minute Opeth I'd rather be strangled with an electric eel.

Agreed. However, I actually like Hex Omega, too. It's a pretty good closer.

Porcelain Heart is the main flaw in this album, the same riff cycles for about half of the song

True. Although, I still like the song, but it definitely is repetitive.

It's amazing such powerful growls could emerge from such a non threatening and unintimidating figure.

Master...of course. 5:28 is probably the heaviest Opeth second in history. Blackwater Park 5:14 is groundshaking and Hessian Peel 5:45 is planetshaking, but Heir Apparent 5:28 is beyond savage.

While I miss Lopez, Axe is...well, an axe. I don't think the drum production could have been any better for the heavy parts, though I'd prefer a slightly softer sound in the softer parts. Axe can play soft easily, but the relaxed sound of Hessian 5:45 is as if the guy made the sudden switch to death metal while sleeping.

That is beyond disturbing, though I suppose it fits the track properly.
