Their best album.. so far...

I am listening to it now and I am liking it alot
though Opeth keeps appearing through out the songs with the way the riffs progress and the performance of the vocals yet it is still very solid and enjoyable

The album doesn't really get going for me until the third track, which is kind of a disappointment given that the first two songs are the longest. However, with "Delusion", the band begin to expand their musical pallette and it's clear that outside influences are creeping in. The acoustic intro, the change of pace, the more concise runtime-all this seems to work really well in the last three songs. The first two, it's simply mid-paced Opeth worship. Good, but just that. Overall though I do like the album's spirit, very isolated feel throughout.
