if that were true then Opeth should have stopped after Morningrise, robbing us of… everything they’ve put out since.

Very different from From Mars To Sirius but a worthy follow-up. Still, I hate it when artists reach insurmountable peaks and then keep releasing records (read: The Jester Race, The Gallery, And Justice For All, Rust In Peace, Seasons In The Abyss, etc) because as good as they may be, they’ll always be compared to that one moment in time where the band was flawless.

even after a few listens, i hear a few good tracks, the rest just bores the hell out of me. i guess i just don’t “get” this band.

This is a weird album. It’s good. Really good in fact. It’s just…dense, for lack of a better term. Not something to sit through in one sitting.

Great album. The production and mixing duties by Mr. Logan Mader is so so good.

I agree totally with Erik and Redstar – this album hasn’t captured me in the same way that From Mars did. God, i listened to that non-stop for a year. Still worthy though…

@ Vance – you need to go check out From Mars to Sirius right away. I wrote them off at first as trendy ‘core ‘casue I saw a video on Headbanger’s Ball, but I was very very wrong – this is excellent stuff and that album will blow your mind.

Like it’s been said, there’s no way the new one can compete with From Mars to Sirius, but it’s been growing on me as of late. One of the better albums of 2008 for sure.

i agree with Redstar, FMTS was sooooo good that this seems a little pale in comparison despite being a solid album

Listening to this now and I am surprised as to how much I am liking it, seems like in the past I slagged these guys off as some sort of South American tribal metal Sepultura wannabe clone and now I am thinking where the hell did I come up with that (arent they French)? This is some excellent stuff.

I found their last album to be much more cohesive as an album entire. The way of all flesh sounds like they recorded 20 songs, and picked 10 to be on the album. I am enjoying it, though not as much as “From mars to sirius”.
