In my opinion, Portal and Urn are superior, but all of their albums are a 4.0+.

Devour Me, Colossus is incredible. Best thing they every did. If that doesn't sell you, nothing will.

Urn was kind of a letdown for me actually. Seemed a little too by-the-numbers by that point in their discog.

One day I’ll crack the prog-death code, I’m highly sensitive to wild swings in my appreciation for such things. Why does ‘vaguely Opethian’ usually = not good, when Opeth themselves are awesome? Quite the conundrum. Maybe people sioood just stop trying to compare stuff to Opeth? Damn it, think I just did.

At least I’ll always have Persefone’s ‘Core’.

Stupid (or not) autocorrect.

Johnny, you should hear this album, ye. I wouldn't call it a meme at all. Just not my cup of tea, that's all.

first couple of minutes of Pyrrhic are acc q good, with their violinist going nuts over a derivative but reliable melodeath riff - does this have much in that ballpark?

Everything's derivative if you start to think that way. Sure-fire way to never enjoy music again.

only when the originators nailed a special quality than no-one else managed to capture. much as, say, at the gates had a good thing going, that definitely doesn't apply here

+ it's always important to pick sounds apart. a lot of great albums have qualities derivative of others
