Filosofem is a classic. It's hard for me to really stomach that but I would have to agree with the critics. His work is definitely uneven and his recent 2014 effort is laughable.

And Varg is just one of the biggest pieces of **** in the entire Metal scene.

I'm liking this album...in a Primordial kind of way. I think it's pretty solid.
 
So, what was the general consensus w/ new Opeth? Anyone had some time with it over repeated listens?

I like it. More than Heritage, Orchid, Morningrise and maybe Damnation.

One critical listen so far....will be the last for a while. Totally not my thing, but I like it better than heritage at first listen

No question his personal beliefs are deplorable.

New Evergrey single sounds great!

IMO, it's their best album since Ghost Reveries!

  HA HA, totally agree. He is better scary, like these scary animals.

  and totally unrelated, i disagree about burzum.  Varg is an absolute character (and caricature) in black metal history.  burzum was never that interesting musically...

I haven't even heard his last two albums. Umskiptar (which I foolishly paid for) was one of the most boring things I've ever heard, so at least it would be easy for him to top that. Some of his older albums are still fun to listen to. I actually really enjoyed Hliðskjálf too.

I used to read his website. It was funny seeing him change his mind about his own philosophy every other month.
 
To his credit, the guy has done a ton of research into mythology, which is mildly interesting.

I have never..............I don't think you truly understand what his style actually did to influence and change the genre? He is the father of Black Metal. Your statement comes off as almost ......I'm without words.

screw** A! I love Evergrey. Thanks for sharing this, I've been waiting for new material for a while. This is their best guitar solo in a long time too! I'm glad the intro ("The Awakening") was put on another track. In Search Of Truth will probably remain my favorite, though.
