So after listening again and having given the first listen time to sink in, I have to say that The Day Of... has grown on me. There is a certain quirkiness to it that gives me a vibe of Imaginaerum and as much as I love Floor that's my favourite post-Tarja Nightwish album. It still perhaps doesn't scream out that it should be a single but I do actually feel more positive about the new album now and that it will at least improve on the last, which I really don't care for.

I like this track more on first listen than Unchained. I so like Unchained but see it as among the weaker songs the band has put out.

More symphonic than you'd expect from an Opeth song. No growling in this one, so it's a completely different sounding track to the first one.

There's a lyric video premiering later today, but the song is available already. Just about to listen:

To my ears there the metal riffs and hard edged playing is back, so it matters less that probably not all tracks on the album features growling. That´s not a deal breaker for me. But I´ve missed the metal riffs and heaviness of their metal oriented releases.

Both tracks have been voted as primarily prog metal on RYM, and I agree, so it definitely does look like it could be their hvaviest album since at least Watershed. I also really like both tracks, and I already enjoyed their previous album a lotwhen I listened to it recently, so I have a feeling this could be my favorite since Ghost Reverie, if the remaining tracks deliver.

By far the best single so far, though I do think this is a rare case where an abbreviated version would have been even better. Still, if there's more tracks like the first few minutes of this, I'll be very happy!

Less of a surprise than the first one and though still solid not as good. High hopes for the new album though.

Opeth delayed to November 22nd due to manufacturing issues.

I'd rather the wait than get an inferior product though.
Back in 2012, there was a fuck-up with Epica's Requiem for the Indifferent album. The album shipped with the last track in some sort of pre-production version missing most of the vocals. I've never, ever bought the physical CD because of that because even though it was fixed, there's no way to differentiate between the releases to make sure I'm be getting the fixed product. The band and label have never confirmed a definitive reissue that is guaranteed problem free.

^ Yes me too, especially as I've gone for the boxset. Disappointing nevertheless as it's my most eagerly anticipated album of the year.

^ That's half the album then. Will check it out later. Already have the album pre-ordered.

It was - apparently features the current main guy of Tangerine Dream too!
Feel like I need to order this one. I don't actually own any Blood Incantation yet.

I have the albums but not any of the EP's. Well worth getting as clearly this new one will be.

 This doesn't seem to have been officially announced yet, but the info has appeared online and seems legit plus it was expected since they dropped a single already. Not out until 2025 though.

 An EP. I had hoped it would be another album coming but this will do as a tideover. It's only four new songs though plus an acoustic version of The Wonders Still Awaiting and orchestral versions of the four. Two of the new songs are already available. |
