| What??! My favourite piece of music with one of the best proghead of the new generation. I know that it will not be as awesome as the original piece but I want to hear it. |

| This sounds awesome... So far his step away from death metal is definitely a good thing (or at least not a bad thing) |

Based on Opeth's Heritage and his collaboration with Steven Wilson on Storm Corrosion, and his one guest appearance with O.S.S., I'm actually becoming a fan of his, although I doubt I will ever check out his death metal stuff. This could be way cool.

Sounds interesting and then not really. I love Genesis and large portions of Mikael's work, but the idea of a cover hhhmmm I'm not that sure to be honest. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

This is Hackett doing Genesis Revisited II so it's not that much of a risk in my opinion - we know from Watcher of the Skies: Genesis Revisited that this is likely to be a reworking and not a straight copy, so whatever happens I'm sure Hackett will match the reworking to Åkerfeldt's voice and not try and get him to do a Gabriel impression. ------------- What? |

Sounds more likely. I have a hard time getting my head around Mikael pelting out the Jerusalem finale... ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

After, "baby it's gonna work out right," he'll probably just warble "God is dead" and end it there. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

I don't know what to say to you Dean, you're obviously mad.... I could imagine him doing some of the more gentle sections, but yeah the finale?

| Not too long ago a metalhead introduced Mikael to me as his hero. Ever since that occurrence Mikael has gotten more proggier and now he's my hero. I can see how Mikael is really leaving his metal fans behind with all this 70s prog he's doing, like this and Storm Corrosion. |

| Love Akerfeldt. I Still think he has the best death growls in the whole universe. Should be interesting him re-recording one of prog's premier epics. |

Yeah, I can imagine Mikael growling "How Dare I Be So Beautiful."  Some harsh vocals on "Willow Farm" would be hillarious, too. Gabriel's vocals were kinda yelpy anyway, and the live performances were even crazier. Mikael might as well take it a step further and scream his head off. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

Yeah, it's actually quite hard to think about him singing any part of the song. Unless he does death growls for Apocalypse 9/8
