Meh...

Ehm...

Not so bad

Mm..what happens?? This song is amazing... Couldnt stop spin it from the first listening!!

Why are "singles" even on this site? Who buys "singles" anymore. They are almost meaningless in the sub-genre of metal as albums are what enthusiasts obsess over.

They're on here because they're releases. Might as well ditch demos with that logic.

^ On the same train of thought, also might as well ditch albums which won't sell very much, like by underground bands.

I can't stop listening after I watch lyrics video, It grows so fast on me.

Well, not so bad. It's kinda meh. It's a little heavier than the previous. No growlings at all, I can't hear even the double bass drum pedal...uh...yeah...even Steven Wilson is heavier than this. :p Where's Opeth's darkness, God damn it?!

Oh fucking good. Old Opeth vibes are just right there!

I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I probably won't think much of the album if the whole thing sounds like this but it was at least than everything on Pale Communion and Heritage.

You know it's only one single track of the album, and Opeth always makes the songs connected, this might not be the climax of album.

They've been pushing the prog noodling vs metal thing since "Ghost of Perdition," I even felt like half that album should have met the trash bin. Definitely not a new development, Mikael is getting old and tired and the deathly Opeth of old is simply.. dead.

I kind of like proggy Opeth, at least it is what it is versus GoP where he goes on ramblings about trees and crap like that most of the time. Gonna be prog, then be prog and don't act like being metal is some day job like working at Home Depot, clock in and growl.

That said, maybe if he lacks the passion for Opeth he ought to quit and just work on his prog project (requiring new name). Fine with me! Like metallica, if you want to be Alternacountry that's just fine, just call it something else.

..but that wouldn't sell records.

Initially I hated this song because of the boring riff, but I've come to like it.

Just listened to it on Youtube and its actually kind of decent. Better than anything from the last two albums for sure.

No, there are a couple songs from Pale Communion I prefer to this, namely "Cusp of Eternity" and "Eternal Rains Will Come". Also Heritage really isn't that bad.

I was hoping Opeth would turn up the heaviness, really like this song. Always thought it was half a song though since there is a song titled Sorceress 2 on the album.
