I imagine this album to sound somewhere along the lines of 'Ki' by Devin Townsend but crossed with 'Damnation'.

That said, the drumming on Heritage is some of the best I've ever heard from the guy. Mikael's clean vocals are better than ever, and I'm glad to hear more prominent bass lines. I'm still not liking Fredrik Åkesson's lead style. He's very talented, and his solos are cool, but they hardly fit the song.

I have more thoughts on this, but don't want to write at essay at the moment. I can say I'm very mixed about this record... I'll give it another week.

I do like the album artwork, though.

That's kind of a generalization. If you actually come to the Opeth thread in the metal forum you'd realize that most people who enjoy Opeth, also enjoy all types of music. I honestly do not care if there aren't any growls, double bass, or heavy distorted riffs. Damnation was fantastic, and you know why? Because the songs had STRUCTURE. There was focus.

Heritage is a giant mess of ideas, strung together without any apparent transitioning. Listen to any of the 70's prog rock bands that Heritage takes it's influence from. Why bother with Heritage when you can listen to an album with fantastic songwriting and cohesion?

Opeth is my favorite band of all time, and will continue to be just because everything before Watershed is amazing to me. I wouldn't be listening to half the bands I did today if it wasn't for Opeth. But to say this is Opeth's best album? That seems kind of a stretch...

Yeah, I might have generalised a bit. But it seems that every review I read, or comment I hear about the album has to do with them getting soft and by their terms "not being metal".

"Progressive metal (sometimes known as prog metal) is a subgenre of heavy metal, which blends the powerful, guitar-driven sound of metal with the complex compositional structures, odd time signatures, diverse philosophical lyrics and intricate instrumental playing of progressive rock."

Strait from wikipedia, it's the genre man. Personally I found most transitions understandable.

Eh, they're Opeth. They're not just going to die off after one "different" album. If it does poorly with fans, they'll probably pop another out sooner rather than later. I haven't heard it yet, but I've always enjoyed - if rarely loved - Opeth's albums.

But most of the transitions are just fading in and out of silence. There was literally no thought process going into them. It seems like it's just *piano solo* fade into silence *start random distorted guitar section* Look at the transition at 4:17 of I Feel the Dark. It's just so random. Heritage has a few good songs, but for me it's definitely Opeth's worst album.

I'm not the hugest fan of Opeth, but I do own Ghost Reveries, and it really turned me on to them and gave me respect for them. I'm going to go buy this album too because it sounds really epic and awesome.

I read in an interview today from Mikael Akerfeldt something along the lines of "The growls and death metal have always been a core part of our sound and will probably return on the next album" (the next album after Heritage)

I that's true I can't be happier. I mean: the dynamics in the musics have been their trademark. I don't say their music is bad without the growls and stuff, just less interesting and dynamic.

I imagine this album to sound somewhere along the lines of 'Ki' by Devin Townsend but crossed with 'Damnation'.

Wrong. I'd say more like Damnation crossed with some of Genesis' material, although I doubt that's an accurate description.

Great album, I wish people would give it more credit. I mean, I bet a lot of people say that, but seriously, it's Opeth, they've been doing whatever they want forever, and it's been amazing so far. Heritage is no exception. Just because it feels a bit more "old school" doesn't mean it sucks.


But I know why people don't like it. Because it's a single album after a long wait. If they had done a double album with the other one being super heavy, everybody would have loved this one.

Everybody loved Damnation, and if that was released now, and Heritage released back then, people would have given some crap to Damnation these days too. People like to complain, and since I've come to terms with Opeth's music to the point of being able to almost immediately say what portions of their career I do and don't like, I'd say Heritage is a good album. Just at a point where people didn't want that kind of album.


I'd say that Opeth's greatest album is My Arms, Your Hearse, and their worst is Orchid. My Arms, Your Hearse has the most balance of soft and heavy, the greatest pacing of any Opeth album, and a well done concept. Orchid suffers from bad production, generic drumming, and an overall lack of the songwriting greatness of later albums.


Still Life suffers from bad drum production and a bit of one-dimensional music. Blackwater Park just has inferior pacing to some of Opeth's other music. Morningrise's only real problems are production related. Deliverance suffers from a slight overall dip in quality from other releases. Damnation suffers from a lack of variety.


I can't say Heritage suffers from anything. Everything is just how it needs to be. Just the change in style from normal Opeth material is the only problem, but I like all of the music on it. I guess another problem would be the excess of quiet parts that go on for too long, although Blackwater Park had the same problem.


So overall, the best Opeth albums, to me, are Watershed, Ghost Reveries, and My Arms, Your Hearse.


But I'd give EVERY OPETH ALBUM a ten out of ten, except for Orchid.

That tells you what I think about Opeth's material, and why I think that Opeth is a great band that's always had slight nit-picking problems that make me like certain albums less. Every Opeth album is a masterpiece, but you can find reasons to complain about any of their material. Heritage is a good album, just give it time.

After everybody was saying "transitions suck", or "it's just Hex Omega for an hour", or "it's just not interesting".

My response is that it's NOT a mess of ideas. It's just a bizarrely paced album. Watershed had the same thing - a soft song followed by the heaviest song in their career followed by a weird blast beat song followed by a ballad. The way each song went into another in Watershed, and the way each song transitioned between moments was also very bizarre. Like the entire ending of most songs on the record was bizarre, cutting off all of a sudden (like other songs by Opeth have done), or ending with detuning acoustic guitars, or a random section of completely different sound and tempo at the end of Heir Apparent (I think different tempo). Simply put, Opeth's Watershed was just a weird album. I remember when it first came out, hearing everyone say it wasn't that good. But with time people loved it.

And that brings me to Heritage. The pacing in Heritage is excellent, as it transitions logically between illogical sections of music. It's what I've always liked about Opeth or Devin Townsend, they can take completely different sounds and styles and combine them in a way that makes sense (ever heard Deconstruction?). Devin Townsend's work in Strapping Young Lad was really straight-forward in the sense that it all flowed as one strict idea. The song "Skeksis" changes pace and such but never changes tempo, and keeps a thematic connection. But "The Mighty Masturbator" off of Devin Townsend's "Deconstruction" is a "mess" of ideas that works perfectly because of the atmosphere Devin Townsend allowed himself to create. It doesn't have to make sense but it does. It's a rationalization of irrational music, due to his ability to pace it flawlessly.


Opeth's Heritage is the same, it's a bizarrely paced record that combines different ideas into an assortment of songs that all flow correctly, but just in weird ways. Opeth's earlier albums were correctly noted by my family members as being like "a journey". The Grand Conjuration was one example where I really felt that Opeth was taking me to Hell, which is what the song seems to be about. The entire Ghost Reveries album is a genius of a journey. But the journey felt consistent. Watershed felt all over the map... and because of that, it feels like a mess of ideas that are about to lead up to something bigger. So is Heritage. It feels like a mess of ideas that are about to lead up to something bigger.

The reason why I think people don't like Heritage is because it came after Watershed, and has yet to be followed up. Watershed felt like an experimental phase in Opeth's career, and if you didn't like the individual ideas that made up Watershed, you wouldn't like it. The lack of balance in Watershed made it so that it didn't flow in a way where you could appreciate the album despite parts being not as great. Basically, what I mean is that Watershed was an album where the ideas were random, and the placement was random, and if you liked the random ideas, the placement worked, and if you didn't, you probably didn't like the album. It's a masterpiece of incoherence, and coherency is not essential to being good, nor is consistency. Watershed was a mess, which was supposed to pave way to a more consistent usage of the same ideas.


Instead, Opeth went for a more even flowing album that changed pace completely from Watershed. It was not a logical continuation of Watershed's random ideas. It was more random ideas creating less coherency.

This is becoming hard to understand, but what I'm saying is that Watershed's mess of ideas worked in a way that made most people expecting the next Opeth album to be a masterpiece (subconsciously). But what we got instead was a complete halt in the progression Opeth seemed to be taking, and instead getting an album that feels like a complete curveball to Opeth's progression as musicians. Both albums feel like they're leading up to something better. But sometimes that is in itself a masterpiece. Heritage struck a chord with me, and I liked it a lot. But it's simply the Orchid before a Morningrise, or an SYL before an Alien, or an Ocean Machine before an Infinity. It's the masterpiece that paves way for an even greater masterpiece to come. But many people don't think that way.

I don't know what album have the reviewers been listening to. I think the album is a ''king masterpiece! One of Opeth's best!

I agree, I'm not really a fan of the death growls, so I really like this album a lot and the direction they took.

I prefer when bands do their own thing and change it up, otherwise the fans might as well stick to whatever album(s) they like best, and listen to that/them. Opeth made this album for themselves and I think it paid off.

Also kudos to Steve Wilson/ Mikael for the production on this album, sounds awesome.
