“It’s a concept record of sorts, a restless musical journey in a way mirroring my own relationship with music as a consumer of it," suggests band leader Mikael Åkerfeldt. "I pick up something here, dismiss something there. I worship and I hate music at the same time. This ambivalence leads me down some type of creative path of my own and then, all of a sudden, a collection of songs has been written. Best case scenario, these songs are good enough to impress the band. Good enough for the ”powers that be” in terms of the industry. Good enough for ”you”?! I love this record. I have to say it (write it). Maybe I’m proud even? There are some familiar ingredients in there I suppose. Most of our music has sprung from the same source, so I guess it’s not much of a shocker if it’s going to sound like ”us”. I’m a bit in awe of what we did with ”The Last Will and Testament”. It feels like a dream. There is some "coherence" and ” songwriting skills” I hope, but what do I know? I tend to favour the ”strange” over the ”obvious”, but I feel like I’m in the minority, and that’s fine. So…fair warning! Don’t expect an instant rush (as per usual), but if you do ”get it” (have you got it yet?) right away, that’s ok too!"

Nice video. Great album. Needs to be heard many times to grasp the details. Im still waiting on my box of the same version. It was delayed. Cool that you met Mikeal åkerfeldt. I can tell you that the band had a release party thing for this album in Stockholm where i live that i did go to. I got to meet the band, talk to them a bit(at least i tried), take some pictures, hear the new album there in the background, even buy the vinyl there(silver opaque) and got it signed! plus 2 other records that i brought from home (Blackwater park and storm corrosion). One of the best things i have ever done right there.
Wo, very nice! I can image that this memory is going to last forever. Yes meeting someone famous is nice but to say something interresting is not easy. Enjoy the music and the memory.
What a killer album! I ordered the same set hopefully get it soon. Cheers!!!
Have fun with your set! GRTZ
great album
was wondering if you'd make a vid on this'n. cool alvum, cool to see you got the boxset. i got it on gold vinyl, been listening quite a few times lately. hope you're enjoying it!
I wanted to see if there were any images underneath the CD & Blu-ray 😢
Nice unboxing though and it is indeed a stellar record 🤘🏻🤘🏻
No, there aren´t.
@AlaricAnthonyMorgan: Thanks for clarifying it 👍🏻
@@Breaking.All.Illusions Hi, just now I see "your" name. Killer track from DT!
@Ppj29qT: It is indeed. "A Dramatic Turn of Events" is also one of my favorite album from the Mike Mangini era 😊
Привет вам из России, большое спасибо за информацию и возможность увидеть как выглядит это лимитированная версия альбома. Да,альбом великолепный,он очень интересный и сложный не всем людям откроется с первого раза. Желаю вам удачи,здоровья и мирного неба над головой!😊
Hi, Thank you and of course all the best!
Thanks!
Nice. I'm waiting for my CD to get here so I can rip a flac.
Thanks for the video. I've been waiting for an unboxing of this. I got it the same day it came out. But I dont know why, I don't want to open it.
I can image on one hand. The value of the set is going down if opened. But why sell it if you like it?
The RPM is 1,000 copies, 500 for eu 500, for US. The. Green marble one is 4,000 copies
Still awaiting the uk release of the boxset, December now. And I’m also awaiting the cd+bluray. Itching to get my hands on the damn thing, lol
Hope you have it by now.
Does anyone know how many of these boxes were actually pressed? I had the hardest time getting it. When it was announced, it seemed to sell out in seconds. I had orders for it from two other merchants, both of whom canceled them as they could not get the product. I finally bit the bullet and bought an eBay copy for $225. This is a great album and deserves a beautiful box!😊
According to Discogs: 4000 copies Corona (this version) and 1000 Black/Grey. Grtz.
@ Thank you! I got the ink spot vinyl, so only a 1,000!
There is another box set with grey/black inkspot vinyl...
Maybe a nicer one. But at the end the music has to be good.
My order still didn’t reach, says processing “fulfilment”
Hope you get it soon, and then enjoy!
i hate when publishers stamp their shitty artwork on the CDs
Hence why you focus on the vinyl record instead. Clean as a fiddle.
