I only passively listened to that song, but nothing really caught my attention. I do respect his stance though, gotta write for yourself to keep the fire going. I know myself, the moment I write anything that sounds like anything else I've written, I almost feel guilty, like something is weighing on my conscience or something. And I've hardly written an albums worth of material thus far. And in a band like Opeth, or any progressive band like that, you can't really grow expectations for their next move, you're bound to be disappointed.
Love seeing an Ozric Tentacles reference !!!! They've been quiet lately but they are a one-of-a-kind band that sounds like no other!
Not in the slightest. I did buy Februus by Uneven Structure though and I find it boring as hell. The cover art is awsome though, so at least its decorative...
hahaha You know... I simply love every Opeth album but the latest. I do like the cover art on the deluxe... it's hard to beat.
