I didn't know if a review is in the works, but what are people's thoughts on this record? Pretty interesting departure overall...

this album is completely void of akerfeldt's death vocals and blast beats. this isn't the opeth i've loved for the past decade.

100% agree. Honestly it put me to sleep. I hope this departure was just for this album and they go back to what made them great.

I still haven't gotten around to listening to this. I hear it's like straight up 70s prog which is sick haha.

On one hand yes it is very 70's prog and kind of awesome. I was one of the people that actually got very excited when Akerfeldt announced the change of style. On the other, however, after listening to it a couple of times I can't help but feel a bit let down by it. It might be a grower but after my first listen I didn't even like it as much as Damnation, which was also incredibly different.

I think this album is insipid and uninspired.

I was actually pretty bored by the end of the album. For the first half of the album, I thought it was a novel, semi-interesting departure for them... but then really struggled to make it through to the end. It's just... really boring.

Find me EVERYWHERE:

Yeah I finally got to listen to this. I liked a lot of moments and other moments were extremely boring and wanky.
