Hi Scot. I just saw your Opeth review too! Great review! I didn't think we'd ever hear a new album with growls from Opeth ever again but I'm happy we did! I know growls aren't your thing but I think Mikael is one of the best in the business of growls. I love the wacky composition style here too which is very different from everything else they've done. Really fun to listen to but not very accessible or memorable in terms of hooks for casual listeners.
@@MartinaHorvat-g3g I agree this Opeth album is good. Better than good even! I'd say it's a masterpiece! Good point about immediately accessible and catchy sometimes becoming boring. There's some truth to that but I don't think that's always the case. An example that comes to mind to me is Moving Pictures by Rush which I think is immediately accessible and catchy but never becomes boring to me cause it's also really interesting and unique.
@@deathbyunicorn I know Rush are a good band, unfortunately I'm addicted to the baritone voice so I don't like listening to them. But I agree, it's not a rule that affordable albums become boring quickly, but I think it has something to do with how developed your hearing is, someone is capable very quickly accept more complicated music
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but it sure wasn’t this album. Maybe that’s why I’m digging it so much!!!
