Title: Forgettable
Review: Opeth are a great band but this album is just forgettable. The songwriting is terribly simplistic and not progressive at all. Some songs have catchy melodies like "In My Time Of Need" or "Hope Leaves" but after the 10th listen you'll be bored to death by even those. This is more in the vein of Nick Drake, Sting and Neil Diamond than progressive-rock/metal. Nothing wrong with that if it wouldn't go under the moniker of a band who gave us prog-tastic masterpieces like "Still Life", "Morningrise" and "Blackwater Park".
