The album now will be mixed of Fusion, Deep Purple, Dio, Sabbath, and Camel.

Interesting. Opeth is my favorite band so I know I'll love it no matter what. I have no doubt that this is going to be my album of the year.

I'm curious how this will sound. I'm a bit skeptical though, because "The Throat of Winter" was terrible.

I actually like The Throat of Winter alot. At first it was kinda wtf, but it really grew on me.

Squeaky sounds must appeal to you then.

I love The Throat Of Winter.

Then again, I love everything Mikael is a part of. As long as Opeth stays true to themselves and writes music they actually want to play. It will be an amazing album.

I need to reiterate my feelings about this album:

[BlackmoreOfBowling]

Get the Air Bongos out ye psychedelic vermin, Opeth's finally making a hippy Acid-Folk album

DRIP DRIP!
DRIP DRIP!
DRIP DRIP!
DRIP DRIP!

[Blitzkrieg Witchcraft]

Can't wait. This and the new Pagan's Mind and Symphony X are the albums I've most been looking forward to.

[OraclesofAgony]

I just recently started digging this band after not paying them too much attention for a while so I'm really looking forward to this.
