Every band must have a bad album...thus; here is Heritage.

First let me say that I am a HUGE Opeth fan. I love their range, and style. From Damnation to Morningrise, every album has a uniqueness that makes Opeth, well..Opeth.

Ok- so this album supposedly is a tribute to 70's rock- and a tribute to Mikael Akerfeldt's favorites. This sounds like a tribute album. That's not a good thing!

There is NO completeness to this album- it is disjointed and after listening, I can't hum, nor remember any crushing riffs, or soothing melodies like I can in other Opeth albums. The drum sound is terrible, and the soulful guitar licks amidst the heavy cords are nowhere to be found. This juxtaposition that makes Opeth unique isn't here.

I want to like this album. I REALLY do- but there is just an incompleteness here that I don't think will get any better with more listens.

Come back Opeth, come back!!!
