Probably most of you already bought this anyways, but since I feel it's so damn overrated I still want to rip this apart. OPETH try very hard (and fail miserably) in writing a song. They are competent musicians and there's good riffs here and there, I'll give them that but when it comes to writing a song that means something, they just fail. So here we have 7 to 9 minutes of thrown together riffs (I refuse to call that ,songs"), generally in the Göthenborg vein and with a clever marketing CANDLELIGHT managed to fool you all...
