Lol Akron?!? Over Cleveland or Columbus? Maybe they're hoping LeBron will show up.

It's close to me, in any case. Guess I'll be heading to the Rubber City.

Nice. Based on that little bit there it sounds as if the new album will be a little more metal than the last two.

Kinda sounded like that to me, too. Sounded like the riffing might be a little darker. Of course, this is just a tiny snippet, so it's impossible to really tell, but people can try to make educated guesses based on what little info they have.

As usual, it's a ton of fun to see people draw far-fetched conclusions based on a few seconds of music. I'm waiting for the first review of the snippet

All I could tell was that Mikael was singing and there will be keyboards =P

It's probably just my hopes twisting the way I'm hearing it, really.

Again, I know it's a tiny snippet and it's impossible to really tell anything specific at this point, but people can speculate, and while speculation at the current moment might be totally useless, that won't stop people from doing it.

Yeah, don't you hear the guitars behind the Moog? I mean, maybe not 'metal' but at least more up-tempo and jammy than the last.

Yes, I hear some sort of guitar in the background there but I guess my ear is not that good Not to assume anything at least.

Teaser or not - that is one LAME excuse of a snippet. Comparatively speaking, I would have rather had nothing than to be teased with a snippet of such nature.

As for the venue selection, that's some bullshit. You're going to tell me that you'll play 3 shows in the same state, yet completely omit other states with fans who would love to see you perform? Good call. Slap a "World Tour" sticker on that sucker, collect your paycheck, and call it a night, Mikael. You've earned it.

I'm sure like Jaeryd said it probably has something to do with hearing what I want to hear. As a die hard metal fan, guitars always speak loud and clear to me. I hear that above everything else. Don't get me wrong though, I actually did enjoy the last two albums, heavy or not. I do not judge Opeth for evolving their sound into what it is, I think it took some balls actually.
