Whoah.. prepare to be astonished. Swedish prog. metallers Opeth has really exceeded themselves this time. I know "Morningrise" was a master-piece, but AGAIN?? This new album is one of the best I've heard, both this year and ever. It's more melodic than the previous ones, more acoustic stuff, more clean vocals (all right!), and the riffs.. they just kill.
For those who don't know this stuff (heathens!!), I can tell ya: very progressive, melodic metal, with a small touch of death metal (some of the vocals), very much acoustic guitars. And this vocalist of theirs, Mikael Åkerfeldt, well he really can sing! Sometimes he does the death metal growl, but he's awesome in doing regular "clean" singing also.
Well.. look at my rating. And then go and buy this as fast as you can.
