| breaking my opeth virginity
idk anything about this band but I refuse to start with their best albums and branch out from there. we're going front to back or back to front because this is God's country and I can do as I please | | 1 |  | Opeth
Orchid
So I was honestly expecting something a little more straight forward and heavy for their debut, but these guys were fairly progressive straight off the bat. Pretty impressive considering Mikael Åkerfeldt was only 20 years old at the time! Obviously super talented guy for his age. I have to say I enjoyed the softer, more atmospheric parts of this album more than the straight up metal parts. I think they compliment each other well, but every time the band broke out the acoustic guitar or piano I just got totally absorbed into a trance, and then the metal parts come back in and I was reminded that this was written by 20 year olds. The composition of the songs make up for some very basic riffage though. There is a simplistic charm here that makes each song feel like a living organism, steadily growing, rising and falling with each breath. It's nice. I can see the potential. | | 2 |  | Opeth
Morningrise
It's actually insane how much of an immediate step up this album is from Orchid considering it came out only a year later? Like what? Did these gents do some sort of time traveling in the course of that time? Gone is the nascent baby fat and in it's place is some actual muscle and bone density. The riffs sound way more thoughtful and creative, especially the lead work, and the album as a whole seems less reliant on the sharp contrast between heavy metal and progressive ambiance. The bell curve is just a lot smoother (like the acoustic guitars are implemented so beautifully and seamlessly) but there are still some really great "floor falling out" moments scattered throughout. Bass lines go brrrrrrr also and the tone is so warm and round like a dollop of savoury syrup, definitely a highlight of this album. These songs feel more controlled and developed which maybe makes them feel less "alive" but the tradeoff is just better playing and writing. Off to a good start. | | 3 |  | Opeth
My Arms, Your Hearse
Okay, if Opeth could evolve so much in only one year, what can TWO years do for them? Let's see. Very noticeable tone shift right off the bat to something much darker and heavier on the black metal influence. I was a little skeptical for about 5 seconds until I realized just how good this album is at pulling you in different directions. Not only are the riffs just moodier, jutting out like brutalist structures from a turbulent sea, but the shift in production really brings out all of the brighter tones to create a more vivid spectrum of colour. I do love the organic warmth of the first two albums but this one just sounds massive and encompassing. The vocal range continues to improve also, both in the low end and Mikael's cleans. Definitely their most emotionally compelling album thus far. Not sure if I like it MORE than Morningrise but it's different in ways that I appreciate. | | 4 |  | Opeth
Still Life
Another year, another album. Very impressed by their work ethic alone. Still Life is another clear evolution of the band's sound (the sheer density of those opening growls caught me by surprise), but this time it feels like more of a "settling in" than another wild leap into new territory. This is Opeth reinforcing their foundations and strengthening their narrative, and the result is amazing. This might be their most cinematic album yet in large part due to the individual songs feeling more focused and clear in their intent to service the overall story arc of the album instead of acting as worlds of their own (looking at you "Black Rose Immortal"), but of course they all stand alone just as well. Some of the bands most memorable and dissonant riffs, and some of their best acoustic work as well. "Benighted" just feels an instant classic. This is probably their "best" so far but I can still see so many valid arguments for any of the previous three being someone's "favourite". Nice! | | 5 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
Wow, I have so many mixed feelings about this one. Blackwater Park is objectively good, I'll give it that, but it's also surprisingly docile coming from the jagged anger of Still Life. Not what I was expecting from their most popular album. This is maybe their most atmospheric work since Orchid, but for entirely different reasons. Instead of long sections of ambiance interspersed between towers of distortion, the opposing forces are almost layered on top of each other. Even during some of the heaviest moments, a steady supply of acoustic guitars and soaring reverb-heavy leads just bathe everything in a soft, mellow glow. "Drapery Falls" is probably the best example of this. There is definitely a heavier focus on melodic clean sections here, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it makes those moments when the growls kick in feel more powerful, but something about this record just feels a little watered down, streamlined, smoother, more accessible. No wonder it is their most popular. | | 6 | | Opeth
Blackwater Park
It's actually funny listening to this for the first time in 2024 and feeling an immediate sense of familiarity from it, not because I've heard it before, but because I've spent the last two decades listening to other bands ape its style. Unfortunately, that makes it a bit harder for me to appreciate it. It's also the first Opeth album so far where I have straight up not liked some of the riffs, mostly in "The Funeral Portrait" and the title track, which both have riffs that seem to be pandering to an American groove metal audience (I wonder if that was intentional, as Blackwater Park also marked the bands first big splash in the North American tour circuit). It might be my least favourite so far, but it might also have the most potential to grow on me. It certainly does have it's moments of gloomy beauty. Onto Deliverance we go~ | | 7 |  | Opeth
Deliverance
Lol what the fuck? Opeth really pulled a fast one here. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of some bright eyed little weasel spending their weekly allowance on this CD after falling in love with Blackwater Park and then getting slapped across the face by the flabbiest drum roll of all time and a guitar track that sounds like it was recorded on a fossil. The story of this album is actually pretty funny. Mikael Åkerfeldt wanted to record a purely heavy record for funsies but he had to butter up his label to allow them to record it by saying they would record the more mellow sounding Damnation at the same time, and that it wouldn't cost any extra money, and then of course the recording process ended up being a completely rushed fucking mess. | | 8 | | Opeth
Deliverance
It really comes through in the mix (I did mostly listen to the original mix just to get the most authentic experience), but I'm not gonna lie, this record's rough production quality ends up being one of it's greatest charms, and it perfectly suits the stripped back and aggressive approach the band took to songwriting. I can see how people would view this as a step back in bands evolution, but I really fuck with it. I also think it was probably a good call to take a step back and reassess the bands core foundation after the grandiose epic of Blackwater Park. One of the things I love most about Deliverance is that the folky acoustic and piano moments actually feel impactful again, because their pure abundance in every corner and pocket of the songwriting on Blackwater Park just diluted their ability to provoke any sort of emotion or surprise out of me. I guess I just prefer contrasty Opeth to blended Opeth. Great album. | | 9 |  | Opeth
Damnation
I was worried my proclivity toward Heavypeth so far would set me up to be sorely disappointed by this album, but I'll be damned, this album is fantastic. Opeth is fully expanding on their progressive folk rock sound here. Not a single metal riff or scream in sight, and I'm not bothered in the slightest. It's gloomy and dramatic and packs an emotional punch, and still has some pretty rockin' solos to boot. The addition of the mellotron was an absolutely brilliant idea, it adds such a cool flavour to their sound. This is also their shortest and most condensed record yet which I appreciate, just makes these songs more memorable and digestible imo. It's hard to believe this came from the same recording session as Deliverance, but now that I have heard both I really appreciate their decision to split their sound into two distinct lanes. Very cool concept and great record. We are officially half-way through! | | 10 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
Ahh the much revered two year resume gap returns! And of course the pendulum swings back toward heavy once more, but now with a full-time key wizard on payroll to work some of my favourite elements of Damnation back into their metal roots. Along with a pretty thick helping of ~middle eastern~ melodies (especially on tracks like "Beneath the Mire" and "Atonement"), this is perhaps their weirdest and most eclectic metal album so far, but it's also bordering on more of those groove metal tropes that I'm not too fond of. If only they would have retained more of their acoustic folk influence, this would have been the damn Super Bowl of Opeth albums. Probably their best production quality so far too. So far I haven't been bothered by Opeth's long ass songs, and felt like they were almost always justified in their indulgence, but this might be the first time I've really felt the drag. So, not perfect, but pretty damn good. This is kind of the album I was expecting Blackwater Park to be. | | 11 |  | Opeth
Watershed
So this is it huh? The end of an era? Kind of scared to continue past this point to be honest, but we're in too deep already. What a great way to end this chapter in their career though, hey? They really boiled the 70s prog influence right down to it's purest form here, flutes and all, and I absolutely LOVE it. Opeth have always had moments of quiet in their music (god does that ever feel so trite to keep mentioning at this point), but on Watershed those moments are light and flowery (funky even!) and tinged with psychedelia in a way they have never been before—bringing yet another fresh approach to their signature contrast. On top of that, their death metal chops sound darker and more unhinged than they've been since My Arms, Your Hearse. As someone who (so far) prefers their first four albums + Damnation, Watershed just immediately clicked with me, it has all my favourite elements of their sound. Hell it might even be my second favourite after Still Life. | | 12 |  | Opeth
Heritage
To be honest, I don’t know anything about progressive rock outside of stuff that is post-hardcore adjacent. I have maybe listened to King Crimson once or twice in my life, that’s about it. So I have zero frame of reference for an album like this. On the bright side, that leaves me with no preconceived notions or expectations. What I do know, however, is that I’m a huge sucker for wind and key instruments and head tilting arrangements, and this album has all of those things. It also still has a decent amount of vintage heaviness and skewed rhythms to it. A far cry from boring or sleep-inducing, thats for sure. The jazzy intro into the desert psych of “The Devil’s Orchard” is such a cool way to start. Definitely gravitating more toward the second half of the record though, “Famine” and “Folklore” are perhaps my favourite tracks but the whole run from “Haxprocess” to the end is pretty great. Not a bad start to Newpeth although it’s very easy to see why this is so divisive. | | 13 |  | Opeth
Pale Communion
So if Watershed was the boarding process, and Heritage the blast off, then Pale Communion must be the band settling in to their zero-g voyage. Although to use any kind of space metaphor would be remiss, because this album is earthy as hell. I swear I can see the Misty Mountains overlooking a fishing village tavern when I close my eyes. I really enjoyed Heritage, but I think I like this one even more, and it took me a few listens to pin down the reasons why. Pale Communion just feels more intimate, it has no grand ambition of being a masterpiece or magnum opus, the lads are just having a good time here and crafting melodies that almost feel like more of an extension of what the band was doing on Damnation. There is still a healthy dose of heavy funk here ("Cusp of Eternity" comes to mind), but for the most part the psychedelic heat-delirium vibes of Heritage have been traded out for something more serene and whimsical. "Elysian Woes" is such a fantastical dream. Big fan of this record. | | 14 |  | Opeth
Sorceress
Sputnikmusic's least favourite Opeth album (based on some increasingly unreliable metrics). How does it fare? Well, I can kind of see why people consider this to be a weak release. The shift in production caught me off guard straight away. That title track is just CHONKY as hell following the very unassuming intro. These arrangements are also all very straight forward by Opeth standards, BUT... this might also be the most overtly heavy of the Newpeth records so far, and in a way that almost reminds me of the their debut record—simple, heavy, and free. Sorceress is kind of like the scuzzy little farm dog that rolls around with the pigs and barks at strangers but still rolls over with glee for a good belly scratch. These riffs are THICK, and there are still quite a few moments where the interplay between organ and lead guitar just blows me away. Lots to love here for sure, especially in the middle to end portion of the record, but I have to agree that it's a wee bit of a step back. | | 15 |  | Opeth
In Cauda Venenum
Ahhhhh we're in the final dash to the finish line here. The Opeth fatigue is real, but that's not going to stop me from taking my time and trying to enjoy these last two albums. The band definitely sounds reinvigorated here. That intro into the beginning of "Dignity" is just such a bombastical way to come back from the Sorceress slump. In Cauda Venenum is dense, theatrical, operatic—a proper story book with so many peaks and valleys to explore, and of course the inevitable helping of cheesy vocals and lyrics that most rock operas come packaged with ("Heart In Hand" might be the worst offender). But it's nothing that we aren't used to at this point, right? Certainly one of their most conceptually coherent albums, and the songwriting more than makes up for the cheese, their sense of melody and volume dynamics is back on track here. I think Pale Communion is still my Newpeth record of choice, but this is a very solid (albeit bloated) late career entry. That closer is just so epic. | | 16 |  | Opeth
The Last Will and Testament
We have come full circle, back to the album that got me in this whole mess. I actually listened to this once already and enjoyed it, but now I return with the context of their entire discography on hand. And boy, what a symbolic place to begin and end, with an album that sort of encapsulates their whole career. Have to echo what others have already said, this isn't so much of a step back in time as it is a reincorporation of old themes into something entirely its own. The Last Will And Testement actually makes so much sense as a follow-up to In Cauda Venenum. In the same way that Deliverance and Damnation could be two sides of the same coin, so could these two albums. This still has the highly conceptual, operatic whimsy full of borderline goofiness that just makes me smile — it's just more aggressive, and that's beautiful to see. | | 17 | | Opeth
The Last Will and Testament
Speaking of goofiness, this album is weird as hell. Haunted victorian noble-esque spoken word parts and Bambi flutes are contrasted by death growls and twisted prog metal riffs. It's both fantastical and dark. It's also just way more engaging than their last two IMO. The return of death metal elements don't automatically make this the best Newpeth record, but it's at least on par with Heritage and Pale Communion, with the conceptual clarity of In Cauda Venenum. The 51 minute run-time also makes it feel surprisingly concise for an Opeth album, at no part did I feel like this was dragging on, which is better than I can say about some of their older albums. This isn't only one of the most unique Opeth albums, it's one of the most unique albums I've heard period, and this whole discog run was worth it just to appreciate it for what it really represents.
Good job boys, now pack it up. | | 18 |  | Phoebe Bridgers
Punisher
Hours listened: ~65 hours over 7 days
Total track plays: 514
Most played track: Godhead's Lament
Most played album: Heritage
These are just my first impressions as someone with no bias toward any era of the band. I listened to all of these albums at LEAST twice, with some being played up to 8 times in a row, and mostly just read wikipedia articles for additional context. Not gonna bother with a ranking, I don't even feel comfortable slapping ratings on some of these yet, but they are pretty much all in the 3.5 - 4.5 range, and are almost all different degrees of interchangeable depending on the mood I'm in, which is kind of the best thing about this discography. None of these albums are bad, and they all bring something unique to the table, which means there's always something I can grab from the Opeth hat. Not bad.
Thank you for following along. | |

11.24.24 | will be updating this as I work my way through their discog. not going to rush it, maybe one album every couple days. | jrlikestodance
11.24.24 | Sputnik rite of passage is to have an Opeth phase. Excited to see how you feel! I never made it past Watershed but it and everything before rule imo | Hyperion1001

11.24.24 | dont worry Smok we got married first so technically im still going to heaven | JohnnyoftheWell
11.24.24 | First two Opeth albums are p famously their most progressive (up until Watershed at least), following three see them lock into a familiar formula hard and then, uh, there they go. Ig.
This is the most boring premise of all time for a sput list, but your detail + enthusiasm have made it not suck! Lfg | artificialbox
11.24.24 | haha yeah its a bottom-rung idea for sure but I genuinely hope I find something I really like along the way. I used to be such a dipshit contrarian child and actively deprived myself of a lot of good music while growing up by avoiding anything too popular, so I'm trying to give some of these bands a chance. | ToSmokMuzyki
11.24.24 | shouldve given it to bathory | BookoftheFallen
11.24.24 | that purity ring meant nothing to you huh | Hawks
11.24.24 | Orchid is top 3 Opeth agreed. | normaloctagon
11.24.24 | Band sucks | Pikazilla

11.24.24 | Slut. | ToSmokMuzyki
11.24.24 | bathory never made a bad ablum | Voivod
11.24.24 | @Egarran
Read your post and remembered Christine Scott Thomas in Four Weddings and A Funeral, uttering that very same word, when she found out that Andy McDowel was courting Hugh Grant. | artificialbox
11.24.24 | Maybe I'll do Bathory next and let them have my sloppy seconds how about that.
also I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would. Onto their third album already. | Egarran
11.24.24 | Nice Voivod, and it's very much the same situation. | Ocean of Noise
11.24.24 | Still Life is going to blow your mind dude
Morningrise will always be my favourite though | ToSmokMuzyki
11.24.24 | you are officially soul-locked into it and will die within 30 days should you fail | JDubb
11.25.24 | Keep it up - like the concept for this list. | Futures
11.25.24 | ironic considering most opeth fans are virgins
too easy of a joke, had to do it | artificialbox
11.25.24 | i considered working that into the title but i chose to be peaceful today | Futures
11.25.24 | haha good list tho keep going, i'll be here reading as always! i like reading first time thoughts to these legendary bands. | bellovddd
11.25.24 | blackwater park was my first opeth and still my fav | Hawks
11.25.24 | Blackwater Park is 9th best Opeth agreed. | bellovddd
11.25.24 | 9 being 1. agreed. | Hawks
11.25.24 | 9 being 9 agreed. | el_newg
11.25.24 | would you say Orchid was your deflowering | unclereich
11.25.24 | shit band agreed | Dedes
11.25.24 | Morningrise gives rise to morningwood | naughtcturnal

11.25.24 | "This is the most boring premise of all time for a sput list, but your detail + enthusiasm have made it not suck! Lfg" (2)
Good start. Early Opeth is my bae, but I can appreciate those albums have flaws. The contrasting parts of Orchid aren't the most digestible way to start perhaps and I respect the decision to go chrono here. The AtMOspHerE tho. Thicc af. | artificialbox
11.26.24 | Still Life slaps agreed. Onto Blackwater Park I guess. | artificialbox
11.27.24 | Midwater Park
already digging Deliverance way more. | bellovddd
11.27.24 | awww blackwater still my fav | someguest
11.27.24 | I recommend you listen to the remix of Deliverance. The original mix is pretty bad. | artiswar
11.27.24 | I'm really enjoying this write up. hurry up! | JohnnyoftheWell
11.27.24 | ""The Funeral Portrait" and the title track, which both have riffs that seem to be pandering to an American groove metal audience "
l o l good fucking luck with Deliverance and Ghost Reveries | artiswar
11.27.24 | stop poisoning the well Jonathan | zaruyache
11.27.24 | not liking the riffs in the funeral portrait, the riffiest track, is an immediate goto gulag | artificialbox
11.27.24 | the riff I didn't like in that song is the one that takes up the first 2 minutes of the song and then comes back around the 5:30 mark. rest of the track is pretty sick. | artiswar
11.27.24 | that's the correct take | zaruyache
11.27.24 | i'm coming over to talk real quick don't go anywhere 🔨🔨🔨 | artificialbox
11.27.24 | hahahah | artiswar
11.27.24 | even at my peak BWP worship I thought Funeral Portrait was annoying | JohnnyoftheWell
11.27.24 | the Funeral Portrait has always been the weak link on BWP fwiw, but we do not abide t/t slander | zaruyache
11.27.24 | i'm greeting my downward fall just from this heresy | ScuroFantasma
11.27.24 | > stop poisoning the well Jonathan
How do you think he got that name | Demon of the Fall
11.27.24 | Funeral Portrait is not all that, aye
Deliverance is their weakest 'metal' album...
oh wait, does the new one count?
| Egarran
11.27.24 | >Blackwater Park is objectively good, I'll give it that
Haha. BWP says thanks. | Demon of the Fall
11.27.24 | okay I actually read the BWP take now
it's pretty based | artificialbox
11.27.24 | Well, I ended up really enjoying Deliverance. Doesn't meet the same quality of Still Life or MAYH, but given the time and budget restraints it could have easily turned out a lot worse.
only one song into Damnation and already loving it. hard to believe these two albums came out of the same recording session. | zaruyache
11.28.24 | if you think that's wild wait to you see what devin townsend was doing | artificialbox
11.28.24 | now that's a discography I don't think I'll ever touch... unless... | artificialbox
11.28.24 | Made some pretty good ground today. I absolutely adored Watershed. Heir Apparent, Hessian Peel and Hex Omega are all like immediate S tier Opeth songs for me. I honestly just want to linger on this album for a bit before I move on to Heritage. | someguest
11.28.24 | Good luck with the rest lol | artiswar
11.28.24 | glad you liked Watershed. Regardless what people will tell you, Heritage is a really great album and I think it will surprise you. The rest? Well... Good luck on your journey | Trifolium
11.28.24 | Heritage gang yes 💚💚💚
Nice write ups so far! I really only dislike Sorceress, yet even that one is ok. They haven't made a bad album ever. | Demon of the Fall
11.28.24 | Heritage is a good 'un
I revisited Watershed and it holds up remarkably well. Time has been kind to it. Maybe the context of what they've done since (especially now) enhances my perspective of that album | kalkwiese
11.28.24 | Really cool list, I love reading your thoughts! | Egarran
11.28.24 | But which parts are the groove metal tropes? | artificialbox
11.28.24 | Just the way some of the bouncier riffs are written and structured is not to my taste tbh. It’s certainly not something that plagues the whole album, I’d have to give it another pass to provide specific examples. | MO
11.28.24 | fuck yes, nice to see Deliverance get love, such a fantastic album | HooperD87
11.28.24 | Yeah I think you'll appreciate Heritage. Solid album and I've never understood the hate it gets. | DamnVanne
11.28.24 | Heritage is rad. I understand that it’s a symbol of their departure from everything before that, but Heritage is so much more exciting and dynamic and just fucking cooler than everything they’ve done since. It was a soft dismount from Opeth’s reign. Except for that weird part toward the end of Famine. That’s a real punch to the gut | JohnnyoftheWell
11.28.24 | Based GR and Watershed takes, defs hold out for Heritage — if you're not glued to the notion of Opeth as a metal band, the wavelength they were on for Watershed maps out beautifully across that record, really fun creative bounce-back after the blockbuster schlock of GR | artificialbox
11.28.24 | Man the last half of Famine is one of my favourite moments on the album so far hahaha. Been jamming Heritage all day at work and defs enjoying it. | Faraudo
11.28.24 | Watershed is goated, agreed | Trifolium
11.28.24 | Yipppeeee artificial!!!! Heritage love!!!!!!!! | artificialbox
11.29.24 | Well I heard Pale Communion has strings so I’m stoked to check it out | zaruyache
11.29.24 | communion is pretty decent | DamnVanne
11.29.24 | Better than Sorceress at least | MO
11.29.24 | PC is the best of their newer era | Trifolium
11.29.24 | PC is really great yeah, love it too.
Glad about that Heritage blurb! | Hawks
11.29.24 | PC sucks lol. | Hawks
11.29.24 | Also trusting Johnny on good metal is like asking the president of Mexico for directions around Japan. | twlight
11.29.24 | Bout to pop the cherry here too. Lots to listen to! | JohnnyoftheWell
11.29.24 | dunno chief i'd happily take those presidential tourist pointers and count myself grateful they didn't come with the pong of cheap deodorant and too much mcdonalds that hangs over most takes from GR diehards | artiswar
11.29.24 | you could have just typed "well you're fat and smelly" | JohnnyoftheWell
11.29.24 | yeah okay delete your account | artificialbox
11.29.24 | lol no fighting on the opeth list please (said no one ever)
I’m four songs into Pale Communion and really digging it. Maybe a tad moreso than Heritage but it’s too early to be sure. | Trifolium
11.29.24 | Eternal Rains is one of their best tracks. | Scoot
11.29.24 | man i'll never forget the first time i heard "in the mist she was standing"
must have been 14. there's not a song more responsible for shaping my current music taste | artificialbox
11.29.24 | damn. Orchid came out 26 days before my birth lol
at 14 I was probably listening to Coldplay | Scoot
11.29.24 | lol this was in 2004 | artificialbox
11.29.24 | i have no idea why i assumed you meant you listened to it when it was released im so tired from listening to nothing but Opeth for 7 days straight | artificialbox
11.30.24 | at this point I'm almost hoping Sorceress sucks because I'm getting tired of enjoying all these albums. Three more albums left and then I'm free. | FowlKrietzsche
11.30.24 | lfggggg Pale Communion love, that's probably my favorite Newpeth record | Veldin
11.30.24 | Very entertaining write up and I look forward to read what you think about their last 3 albums next. | artificialbox
11.30.24 | AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
IM ALMOST DONE FUCK | artiswar
11.30.24 | what's the next deep dive? (I don't care about these last 2 records) | artificialbox
11.30.24 | I was thinking of doing Neurosis next actually | artiswar
11.30.24 | do Meshuggah :] | artificialbox
11.30.24 | Meshuggah is definitely on the table as well, although I've already heard a few of their albums. Neurosis seemed more exciting to me cause I've never listened to them outside of like one or two songs. | artiswar
11.30.24 | honestly me neither. you might get me to finally jam them | StormChaser
11.30.24 | a very entertaining read, and I love the fact that you aren't a prog fan usually. Curious to see what you make of the last one, but also curious you found BWP lackluster. I have to say after the Nth run through their discog for me, Heritage really stands out of the pack and is definitely among the top for me | StormChaser
11.30.24 | the Funeral Portrait has always been the weak link on BWP fwiw, but we do not abide t/t slander
based Johnny take, BWP T/T is a top 3 Opeth track fucking fight me | artificialbox
12.01.24 | finished. can't wait to listen to some actually good music again omg.
also BWP is probably the one I'll revisit first now that I'm done, I'm curious if I'll like it more now that I've heard everything. |
