Despite a slew of beautiful melodies and guitar-work in traditional Opeth fashion, there are some moments that really make you scratch your head. A couple jarring transitions here and some weird instrument choices there (the flute, though only present in one song and not unwelcome, seemed like a spontaneous addition that simply did not jive with the rest of the album) make this a great modern progressive rock album, though perhaps one of the weaker titles in Opeth's catalog. I voted good
