The album is very complex and sounds kind of fusion-like and I think that many fans who think they know what we're about will hate it, but I'm sure many people will love it as well. One thing is for sure, no one will find it boring."

If this is true I might actually check it out.

Fantastic news! All the more so because I'm so disappointed with WATERSHED and I believe that they will cure my broken heart with the new release! Tongue

But... Wilson again? Ermm

On the one hand, it sounds really interesting.  On the other, I want certain things from Opeth and this kind of makes me uncertain that I'll get them.  Either way, it sound interesting and I'll get the album.

Very interesting indeed. I wonder if Opeth will perhaps be the band that indeed finally manages to convert me to 'complex jazz-fusion'! Geek

Jesus never managed to figure out the theremin either

^ That sounds interesting, I'm sure this band has much more in them that what they did so far and Watershed was already one album too much for me.

Am I the only person who found the comment that the band has described the material as "good" hilarious? Though Akerfeldt's smart enough to have done that on purpose.

 

"The new material has been described by the band as being "sh*t"."

Agreed.

Storm Corrosion (Wilson collaboration) has at least started, so we might see something in 2011.

Very much looking forward to new Opeth, loved Watershed. I wonder what the balance of clean/growl vocals will be? The higher proportion of clean on Watershed is one of the reasons why I liked it so much (+ the music was brilliant)...
