Never cared a lick about lyrics.

As for the songwriting, well I guess so. Depends on if you like it amirite?
If you don't (which I know you don't) then it's aimless. If you do, then it's drifty and atmospheric.

I enjoy it, not a top 5 Opeth album but their discog is so good that still makes it a very good album.

It's certainly better than DT's ADToE
There, that'll cause some fun.
Though it's true Big smileTongue

Very cool.
I've been looking forward to hearing this album.
Now that I've heard it, I'll have to get a copy next week when it's available here.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Thanks man, I feel like the only person who hasn't downloaded this already. Enjoying my first listen.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Not only has this album been released a while ago in some foreign countries (such as Israel according to a friend of mine) but it's now streaming for free on the NPR website. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/11/140288664/first-listen-opeth-heritage

I was graced with a reviewer copy so I got to hear it a bit early and I posted my review on here around then. I basically stated my opinion there, although it has grown on me since. 

I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions. 

On another note, I played the album for a friend of mine who's an old school progger, who worships Yes, etc. and is incredibly disappointed with the modern prog scene (and he knows all of the modern big wigs.) He hates the death metal type of vocals, so he was never able to get into Opeth in the past. I played this album to him and to my surprise he liked it! I know him as the "meeehhhhhhh" guy because he says that about everything. Any time he likes something that means he really likes it haha.
