After some more repeated listens to this album, I have decided to view it as a debut from a new band and erase all prior comparisons to Opeth albums. By doing this, I'm liking the album more, and as a debut album-- it's not a bad first effort. This might seem like a strange a approach, but in reality-- the music on "Heritage" has nothing to do with previous Opeth music, so it really is like a debut... just a debut album from an existing band.
