Opeth - The Last Will And Testament

 

No I think I do like this a lot. Not more than Pale Communion or Blackwater Park, but a lot still. Ian Anderson being all over this thing is a massive strength.

this is gonna sound weird to some but i think a massive weakness of this album is that it's short, lol.

 

Seriously everytime i really start to dig it.......it just......stops.  i wish it was expanded just a few minutes.

 

i know that's odd.

 

also.........could be unpopular but the growls don't need to be there.  it just feels like he went "OH here's your growls now SHUT UP!!!!" to the fans.

I’ll need a few more listens to make a judgement on the length, but I like the growls! Maybe I have some bias from not having heard most of their discography yet, but it balances between Blackwater’s brutality and PC’s intrigue and melodicism for me, so I dig it.

 

I also just read through the lyrics (which were not easy to parse, thank you genius.com), and I do really like the concept. The extra twist at the very end is sick.

the grows don't bother me they just see really thrown in this time.  like this album at it's core  just sounds like a continuation of their 70's prog era they've been in. so they seem a bit out of place.

 

probably just me though, lol

This again.

Mastodon - Crack The Skye

 

The Last Baron is awesome of course, but being a palindrome doesn’t make you the best song on the album. I think I prefer The Czar.

Can you be both satisfied and disappointed with an album?

Gojira - Magma

 

A little soft in the middle but the first four or so plus Lowlands are more than worth the price of admission.

That would be me with Muse’s last album.

 

Do I love it? Of course I do. It’s Muse! Is it what I wanted or expected or better? No, not at all really, though a couple tracks could be.

Oh yeah I've heard them but I've never actually heard anyone say the name, so obviously not watched album reviews or anything.

Yeah when he gets that gravelly tone in there he sounds just like some other guy… what was his name? Really big deal in the 70s.
