Personally I loved Heritage,it was a full classic Progressive album. It does take time to digest it but when you give it like a second or third spin you start loving it.Nice! I have to say I really didn't like Heritage, so I hope this new album is something I'm gonna like. Either way, still an awesome band
Sweet. I saw them on the Opeth/Mastodon tour last year and they were awesome. I liked Heritage and I don't mind that Mikael is moving away from the growl vocals. I think he's got a great regular singing voice and it suits that band perfectly.
Yea there needs to be a DVD for Heritage.I enjoyed the Heritage album, but that material REALLY came across well in the live setting. I am very much hoping they have a DVD in the works from this last tour (they have for the last couple).
I would agree Heritage didn't reach the same heights as Watershed or Ghost reveries, but I still think it's a solid album. I think both MA and Steven Wilson have just run out of inspiration playing the same kind of music year after year and have to experiment with other genres. If you're a die hard Opeth fan from the early days, I have a feeling you will continue to be disappointed in the future. Old Rush fans know exactly how this goes...[/]
