Schnabeltier 24 Posts: 87 From: France	Permalink 02.06.2014 - 20:55 Schnabeltier 24 Posts: 87 From: France This song was very enjoyable. But I hope that there will be some more complex songs on the album, this aspect lacked on Heritage... ---- Hey there, tiny wench ! Loading...

Weird thing actually, I was actually happier about Heritage than I was this. You're right, this song is simple... but for me it's just a bit TOO simple. Like, Metal 101 simple...

Lokaeda Account deleted	Permalink 02.06.2014 - 21:13 Lokaeda Account deleted A good introduction to the new album as far as I'm concerned, hopefully the rest is in the same vein. It's much catchier than Heritage, yet quite aerial and dreamy. Pleasantly surprised. Loading...

akvan Posts: 186 From: Iran	Permalink 02.06.2014 - 21:40 akvan Posts: 186 From: Iran I think he started to play his role in history as an artist ! He never cares about what people think about him at his age , he's more than just a guitarist for headbangers , He is a poet , He's standing beside of great men in history . But I'm worry , It makes me fastidious in music ( as he done before ) ---- Think about it . Every generation gets some new frontier to tackle .

Did you even read his post? I'd even draw comparisons to Blackwater Park, just no death metal. The song also reminds me of a Finnish band called Kingston Wall. Loading...
oshgar Posts: 36 From: USA	Permalink 02.06.2014 - 22:29 oshgar Posts: 36 From: USA Kinda boring and repetitive, though the riff did get stuck in my head. I've still got hope for the rest of the album. The video was like Reading Rainbow on acid. But don't take my word for it. Loading...

Uldreth Posts: 1150 From: Hungary	Permalink 02.06.2014 - 23:12 Uldreth Posts: 1150 From: Hungary I agree with Joe. Quite digging this track perhaps even because of its simplicity. And I also didn't have much problems with Heritage. Some tracks on it sucked and some were top quality Opeth songs. This song might be simple but it has a great atmosphere and that is what mainly matters for me. Loading...
