I wouldn't say so. Mikael is still the primary song writer. He's responsible for 95% of what's on the albums, give or take.

... Yea you've got a point. But the music is certainly faster and darker, yes?

Of course ! But he's been saying that in interviews a lot lately.
Their last album wasn't happy, but it had some light to it (Mikael said so himself) but this album seems to be more of a compensation for that if you will. So it's fine by me. Not to say ANYTHING against Ghost Reveries, it was one of their best (it's my second favorite, behind Blackwater Park).

After losing their studio drummer (who was replaced by the drummer that played with them live for years, so it's not that big of a deal IMO) and after losing peter, I can't say I blame him for writing something darker. Losing band members sucks. (hell, I write my best when shit happens like that )

The June release date can't come fast enough....

I think that Lopez was far more than a 'studio drummer', he was a hugely influential member of Opeth for years, Mikael acknowledged just how much he brought to Opeth, he was given a lot of freedom over the drums, when he left he was briefly replaced by Gene Holgan , then Axenrot stepped up...I don't mind Axenrot though! he is tailored perfectly for these new songs but he lacks the cultural influences and feel Lopez had which shined on Damnation etc.

i've been told that these two songs blend MAYH and Ghost reveries. Ghost reveries isn't really up there for me concerning opeth, although i have no beef with them changing it up on an album.

But i like the older, heavier opeth. and it sounds like this will be more of that. so June will be a good month

3 cheers for free gear!

Just listening to the CD/Studio quality versions of the two songs posted, dig them much more with the better quality versions now!


EDIT::: They actually put a fucking cheesy clavinet breakdown in The Lotus Eater!? FUCK YES! that sounds awesome!

you can tell that they have a new drummer, the style is completely different.. i preferred lopez's style.. he was more subtle... in the first one the drums seem a bit erratic compared to lopez's style..
