Metal

I just finished listening to it. It's a bit cryptic to me at first. But it's not unexpected when it comes to prog music.

So I expect my second and third listens to be more enjoyable (and fourth even more and so on).

I did enjoy this first listen nonetheless. had some really good parts, like this flute solo in one of the §. also gonna be hard remembering them just by number.

I do feel what someone else said ([email protected]) , that there's none of this repetitiveness that got me to like Opeth in the beginning, with their Morningrise album.

I'll preface by saying I prefer Ghost Reveries and their later albums more than their older ones. I'm not all that into growling.

The first three songs falls flat on my first listen, §4 and §5 I found more interesting. The instrumental part of §6 were nice.

None of the songs stands out though, not sure if any of them will make into the gym playlist rotation.

A shame they didn't explore further the style they tried with In Cauda Venenum, as a Norwegian I find Swedish vocals more interesting than English, though it could just be the novelty of it.

I'm super stoked for this one. Haven't heard it yet but I'm planning on listening to it tonight with my wife. The songs they released already are awesome.

I haven't listened to it yet, and I've liked their albums less and less since the Heritage shift, so I don't have high expectations for this one. But I'll give it a run and check back in.
