a fair judgement > [2]

Only song I really like on here.

Album Rating: 3.0

Master's Apprentices > this album



But even that doesn't even come close to top 10 songs

Album Rating: 4.0

I think it does.



Wreath is perhaps a bit too long, although it has that hypnotizing factor and sets the atmosphere for this album. And the vox are awesome.

Album Rating: 3.0

lol am I just a crazy King Crimson fanboy or does that riff in Wreath sound like the ah-ah chorus in

the part at about 3:45

a fair judgement > [3]

That and For Absent Friends are all I can manage on here.

Album Rating: 3.0

yeah the first two songs are trying too hard to be heavy and not nearly as interesting as their previous material

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah wreath is ok just too repetitive

Album Rating: 2.0

Problem is, the entire record (barring A Fair Judgment and For Absent Friends) feels like Opeth losing their identity. It's heaviness for the sake of heaviness, and yet the whole thing feels so unfocused and aimless anyway

Album Rating: 2.0

I will admit that I like the title track, though

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

I agree with Necro. This album just feels too monotonous and unfocused to keep my attention. It's not bad, but it could be so much better.

Album Rating: 3.5

i like it

Agreed with Necro and EO for the most part.

Album Rating: 4.0

Very solid, but among their worst. Heritage might even be better than this

Album Rating: 3.5

its no still life agreed but its not a 2 definitely

Album Rating: 3.0

It's not bad but I wouldn't call it great either. Has ok moments but I just don't think the songs are their best. But yeah, not a 2

Album Rating: 3.5

There are some enjoyable tracks, but it's not a very strong release, I think. Still good however.



In my opinion their worst album.

Album Rating: 3.0

80% of this albums was just boring in the end

Album Rating: 4.0

I think it is just good for some mindless headbanging. It is great for when I want to keep my Opeth jam session going, but need some Morbid Angel type riffs.

Album Rating: 4.5

Such a great album, one of their darkest and most intense releases.
