The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own? This inveterate sense of constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities. It restrains us and holds our minds to the ground below, averting any possibility of rising above ourselves to something greater; something not fathomed by the conventional mind. This concept of seeking to go beyond one’s self, known as “transcendence”, is essentially a gateway to unlocking pieces of ourselves that can lead to some of the most elaborate and significant creations of our world. For many, this quest to transcend and form creations that were once considered unthinkable and overwhelming consumes life. Certainly it is rare to find such people, but when they are found, creative barriers are destroyed.





hehe


edit: "The clean vocals and acoustic parts get kind of cheesy. Just sayin'"

wow weird i exactly agree w/ this

I thought it was good maybe a 4 tops, but everybody hypes this up to be like the holy grail of metal.

Someday I'm going to start this ambient band and I'm going to have a voice-over of that Shadows quote playing over some doomy passage. And I'm going to send a free t-shirt to everyone who gets the joke.

In approximately the amount of time it takes for CTTS and Wintersun to release a new album, combined. so, never. You never know, though. Miracles happen.

Great Review, you're right on about this album.

I haven't listened to any Opeth, despite being a huge fan of Death and Atheist. Progressive Death metal is awesome, but I'm still an Opeth virgin.

Time to lose it

Opeth’s music can most accurately be compared to snowflakes. Every snowflake is unique; diverse; one of a kind. Each one has something special about it. On its own it symbolizes the advent of something beautiful and captivating, while as one of a flurry it falls serenely, forming a picturesque scene so stunning it defies words. Just like snowflakes, every Opeth song is special in its own right. Within an album, the music is like a flurry ensnaring the senses with emotionally charged progressive.

That brought tears to my eyes, Talons.
