I had mixed feelings about Opeth's last album, Watershed, digging the musicianship but questioning elements of the songwriting. It was one of those albums that, opening track "Coil" aside, I didn't find many things egregiously at fault with, but at the same time I appreciated more as an object than as a feeling, organic collection of music.
THIS has me a bit more stoked. One of the things I liked most about Watershed was the cover of "Bridge of Sighs" on the deluxe edition, and this upcoming single off of September's Heritage is all the more promising in that it hints at a full blown redirect into 70s prog. That's something I can get on board with.
