It's like a time machine back to the mid 70's

One of Opeths most interesting albums definitely. Not saying that their other work is uninteresting by any means, but it was time for some change in sound imo.

i guess so...i mean watershed wasn't my favorite, but at the same time...bands like Meshuggah never change their sound and you don't find anyone complaining then. and thats mostly bc no one can do what meshuggah does, but can anyone do what opeth did? i've never heard a band come close. but to heritage? yeah, i've heard bands do this better. so i don't see what was gained here, or with making heritage II: this time its proggier

I mean it's really their choice, I'm sure they got tired of writing the same old styled albums. I'd want to change it up some too if I was them. Now granted this may be a bit too much change however, I don't think it is a bad thing but to each his own

doesn't have to even necesarily be metal. lets say that they felt that they had exhausted their use of metal, fine. i'm okay with that. i don't want to come off as that guy who's sitting here saying "no harsh vox? no heavy guitars? i'm out". but why 70s prog? you went from a genre that you've felt was tired...to a genre that has already been done to death? decades ago no less. i realize this is their choice...and i realize i'm a butthurt fan, but i just feel like opeth can do better. this feels like coasting, just as much as an album with the old formula may have felt like coasting as well. maybe they need something different than prog and metal to spice things up.

Is a very good prog album. But compared to other opeth works is bland, seems more a tribute to camel, king crimson and other bands.

Prog was the easiest transition from their existent style I guess. They couldn't do a funk album. Well they could but the reaction would be carraizaayyy

but why 70s prog?


The change in direction wasn't exactly a shocking one. People seem to forget that the 70's prog influence was a big part of Opeth's sound long before Heritage. Ghost Reveries and particularly Watershed hinted at a change of direction, making the prog influences a lot more prominent, so it wasn't a particularly sudden change in direction and it certainly wasn't a surprising one.

I'm happy with the transition. Hopefully the next one will be much more adventurous.

i'm not saying i'm surprised that they went full progtard, i actually think it was way too predictable.



Damnation > Heritage



its proggy i guess...but it sounds unlike most prog that i've heard. whereas this just sounds like camel/tull/crimson
