I saw Opeth with Katatonia last night. Having listened to the album, I thought this was a great new progressive album, and as much as I hate to see the growls go, they took these songs and played the **** out of them. I had a conversation with a friend over whether or not their record label had anything to do with their sound change, and it just so happens that the ******* who asks "What happened to the metal?" was at the show last night, and Mikael put the bitch his place, "We've been playing metal for 20 years how about you?".
I also thought the [sl]O[w]peth chant was pretty funny.
Very Good Album. 8.2/10
