"Great album, but Heritage still best post-Watershed album to me"

Easily!



"My thoughts exactly on this Trif"

It's done!

Better than PC and Sorceress for sure, their low points. There’s plenty to love and appreciate here but tracks 6, 8, and 10 keep me from thinking this is on the level of Heritage or Watershed, let alone the classics from before then. Mikael’s continued oversinging too.

I'll not like the moment that Opeth outnumbers the quantity of prog-rock releases in comparison to the early prog death ones.

If they stay on this course it'll take them another 14 years to come to that moment.

Mikael sounds great here, he only oversings on Sorceress and Pale Communion tbh.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah think so too. He sounds very good on this one! Joyous record.

Album Rating: 3.7 | Sound Off

Yeah he generally sounds great, but there're still a few moments in tracks 2-4 where he goes overboard or it sounds cheesy. Like the "AAAAHHHH"ing in Dignity, that singing along with the outro, the vocal squeaks at the end of the verses in Heart in Hand, the first 20 seconds of Next of Kin, and the outro which should've just been fully instrumental.

Album Rating: 4.0

I love the Mikael squeaks, how dare you.

The outro of Dignity is cutely haunting, how dare you.
