This album sounds A LOT like "Damnation/Watershed" era, progressive Opeth, which was a great, beautiful sound. This is what modern Opeth would sound like without all the prog JAZZ nonsense that, in my opinion, ruined their music. There is some occasional Tool influence mixed in for for good measure, but not as heavily as on past album like "Cognitive." This band has always borrowed from both bands, which is fine with me. It's great music. Tool hasn't released anything in forever, and Opeth has become too jazz oriented for my tastes, so this band fills a void for me. What you are left with are lush guitars, catchy hooks, beautiful vocals, memorable choruses, and some good lyrics. This is great, well written, well executed music.
