I have heard it but you're right to question that since my Opeth fanboyness knows no boundaries
Not sure how to describe the direction they've gone because like any of their albums, they keep progressing and this one certainly is different. I'll just make a few quick notes about it, and I can expand later if you want more
- when it's heavy, it's brutal - the album has some of their heaviest music to date (note that this doesn't mean the whole album is like that)
- it's a bit proggier than what they've been doing lately
- there are female vocals in one track
- there are actually a couple guitar solos (and by that I mean, a "regular" guitar solo instead of their usual Pink Floyd-esque type solo)
There's my teaser for ya...I personally think the album is phenomenal
