"It is true, I only listened to this because Steven Wilson produced, played the keyboard and co-wrote one track. But this is not a Steven Wilson album. It is clearly Mikael Åkerfeldt driven here. Such beautifully haunting tracks. Favourites are: the first 3 tracks, To Rid The Disease and Weakness." Reply

"Opeth has always been a mix of Mikael Åkerfeldt's two musical obsessions: metal and prog rock. To my ear, their catalogue starts more metal and trends more prog, with this album being the perfect midway point. I consider this their best album in that it represents such a nice blend of both styles..." [+] Reply

"Very pleasantly surprised by this album. It starts off brutally with an intense opening track, but the transition into the next two songs is so well constructed that, after a few listens, the whole thing starts to make perfect sense. The flow between the first four tracks is especially seamless. ..." [+] Reply
