This is simply amazing in terms of creativity, musicianship and concept.

It's the type of album you can't re-make, it's an Event (in badiouian philosophical understanding of the term). Just like Miles Davis' In a Silent Way or KC's Islands.

Unfortunately many people will dislike it cause they lack the ears for it, mainly cause they like all the shiny and clean modern sounds. Or because they are simple metalheads and can't cope with brilliant originality.

No matter! Opeth created their own hidden gem of their repertoire (which for me is the real masterpiece in one's discography). I hope Akerfeldt keeps this "travel-and-discovery" attitude in his musical journey. Because music is just waiting to be discovered.

Thank you, Opeth, for such a Record!
