I was explaining why it deserves to be in the poll. 
4.28 | 611 ratings | 45 reviews 

2 people still voted for the album and considering the competition, I dare say- not bad!

Tech/extreme progressive metal is another prog subgenre, so I do not have a problem with artists of extreme progressive metal being in the Top 100. 

I dislike a few albums in this Top 100, but that does not mean those albums should not be there, especially since they are beloved by others.

Arbeit Macht Frei is on the top of the mountain.

Gong and Hackett, on the hills around, watch him with envy.

The other ones are very far in the lowlands.

Have you heard Heritage or their new stuff? It's just straight up progressive rock, not much any metal anymore.

Is it still growly or clean vocals now?

it's explained there.

Dislike or like whatever you feel like. I don't care, but actually yes. That's how I interpret

Still don't get it - a friend told me they were prog until he was blue in the face so I went along - curious.  What a waste of time it was.  Boring too.  Daft vocal technique - entertaining for 10 year olds I suppose.

They used to be progressive death metal or call it extreme progressive metal. It's still a progressive music subgenre. 

Even the music they've been doing since Heritage, it's still progressive rock. If you call TFK that, then Opeth needs to be called that, too.

So you dislike Opeth, you said it several times. Now that we all know, can we move on?

Khan's incredible album gets my vote, although some great albums here. Gong is a close second
