fitterhappier Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ugh, I'm gonna regret not buying these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisuspeed Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Those are some nice looking colors. However, shipping just two of them to the US puts me back $93! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, A Fair Judgement and I Feel The Dark live were killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 somebody convince me to listen to this record. i havent heard much good about it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinkd Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 somebody convince me to listen to this record. i havent heard much good about it at all. album of the year for me! you just have to realize that Mikael is really into prog-folk and a lot of aspects are drawn from that but its still such an Opeth album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomapple Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Picked up the light blue. Annoyed that I missed out on the Burgundy though! That colour was really nice. If anyone changes their mind and wants to trade a light blue for a burgundy, I'm up for that. For once shipping was cheap for me because I'm UK Makes a nice change after shelling out $40 on the shipping for the Botch album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you're looking for and what your general music tastes are. Definitely a new direction for Opeth. When I first listened to it I had mixed feelings, but it really keeps growing on me. Now I love it. However, I would definitely check out some of the songs online before you put any money down, because it's definitely not another Blackwater Park. Check out the NPR stream of the entire album: http://www.npr.org/2011/09/11/140288664/first-listen-opeth-heritage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lipmyreeds Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 somebody convince me to listen to this record. i havent heard much good about it at all. Just understand that nearly ALL of the "bad reviews" of this album come from fans who think that every album should be just like Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, MAYH, Still Life, etc. There are some comments about the composition and transitions being a little awkward, which in some places is true, but overall this album is WAY better than the (very loud - thanks Internet) minority are screaming about. My perspective - as a relatively NEWER Opeth fan - and complete music addict (everything from Lady Gaga to Gojira to Gustav Holst), is that this album is superb. Crank it up on a nice pair of headphones or stereo system and you'll immediately understand that this, while not being about traditional Opeth and doing what they do, is a well-executed celebration of folk/progressive music, but still with that Opeth mood/vibe. I love, love this album. If you're able to put this on, sit back, grab a drink, dive in and listen to this for what it is, you'll think it's great. If you're unable to listen to something by Opeth that you can't really rank alongside their back catalog, you'll be very disappointed. If you ONLY listen to Opeth for growly vocals, you'll cry to your mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinkd Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 the transitions are only weird to people who've never heard anything like Jacula or Comus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisuspeed Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 the transitions are only weird to people who've never heard anything like Jacula or Comus haha, yeah. Heritage flows pretty smoothly compared to Comus. Still haven't really gotten into that band, but I've only heard a couple of their songs.
