2 stars If you are a fan of OPETH, then, I "guess" this is a good album.

I'm open to different kinds fo music, but gosh, OPETH just doesn't do it for me at all.

It's death metal. I fail too see much prog here. Certainly more prog than your average death metal band, which probably helps market the band. But, overall, it's just death metal, and, not very good death metal at that.

The vocals are insanely annoying and skilless. The guitar work is very repetitive. It seems the guitars have one sound only. The drums and bass are "basic". Nothing interesting or memorable in the slightest.

I found it difficult to listen to this album.

So, I'm not giving a 1, because OPETH fans seem to like it a lot. If you are not a fan of death metal though, then don't waste your time and money on this.
