I�ve had Heritage for quite a while now, and it completely fails to captivate me like every other Opeth album has done, at least to some extent. After a couple of tracks the album always comes off again. I�ve yet to finish the album in one spin. So far I�m bored to tears. It�ll probably be a couple of years before I can write a decent review of the album. Right now my disappointment is so big it�ll end up in an undeserved bashing. I still have hope it�ll open up to me. You know kinda like waking up from a nightmare.
Regarding Damnation it�s the complete opposite for me Jeff. I used to really like the album, but nowadays I have trouble finishing the album without taking it off midway through it. |
Heritage took quite a few spins before it really opened up to me... I was pretty disappointed at first. The songwriting just didn't feel as ominous or coherent as their earlier works, and (to some extent) I still feel that way. It's a grower, that's for sure.
