Forget Opeth, THIS is how retro prog rock is done! And despite its vintage sound, Orange still comes across as fresh and original. Fans of King Crimson, Pain of Salvation and Riverside, you know what to do!

Hmmm, have to disagree with you. I like their earlier stuff more so than this. Orange is very different.

Every album of theirs is different. Swanlike was prog death, Existence was dark prog, Grave Human Genuine was Disillusion-style extreme prog and this is retro prog rock. All progressive, all different. Due to its relatively mellow nature and the lack of growls this album is probably somewhat comparable to Existence, which is one of my all-time favorites.

Absolutely brilliant brilliant album. Reminds me a lot of Existence and that is just an amazing piece of art. After being a really big Opeth fan I was thoroughly disappointed at Heritage and was sceptical about giving this a try knowing it was in the similar veins. Thank God I did. And this is nothing short of epic. Respect for Dark Suns and their subtle yet so powerful music.

Edit: Did I mention I logged in here just to say how pleased I am at this new album.
