A really good album! I was actually worried that I wouldn't enjoy it that much because of the lack of death metal vocals and real heaviness. However, Heritage is a damn good album!

I'm not a fan of Opeth and generally Progressive music, and somehow I didn't like this album much.
It needs a few more spins but it lacked a lot of things that I need to find an album good.

As Åkerfeldt said "I think you'll need a slightly deeper understanding of our music as a whole to be able to appreciate this record."
Since I get this Album I listen to it constantly, and more I listen, more I enjoy.
When my friends ask me about the album, I said to them "you might not like it once".

Just gave it a listen. It has a very progressive feel to it which I personally find great. This album is an awesome addition to the Opeth discography!

I've booked the special edition and can't wait! Got a special Opeth coin in return when I ordered it before release date. Awesome.

Both are "different" proggy all-clean vocals albums that Akerfeldt "has always wanted to do."
That's barely a concept imo. The intentions are similar, that's true. But the style is completely different.

Wow.... This is such a GEM! An absolute masterpiece... This is not for closed minded people who don't actually appreciated what music really is. Opeth never was just about growls... This album has a VERY high level of musicianship. You can really see how Akerfeldt is a genius for pulling out that kind of stuff after writing death metal for years! This is an awesome album!
And here comes the first Opeth fanboy to tell me that he is more open minded than me because I don't think Heritage is a masterpiece. Only he can see the greatness of it!

I got what he was saying about the concept, the idea. But as I said, it is an entirely different album in terms of sound.

when a dude has a band's name as his user name, and has scored said band's albums an average 9.6, it's a big neon sign that says "this opinion is not worth wasting your time on."

You guys are ridiculous.... A lot of my favorite bands have released s*it albums and I can recognize it. Since you called me an Opeth fanboy, you obviously don't even like Opeth, so why bother?

"you obviously don't like Opeth"
i am a fan of the band and have five of their albums, i just don't drool over them (or anyone else) like you seem to. whether or not i like a band has zero bearing as to whether or not i think someone's voting patterns are absurd.

My voting pattern has nothing absurd.... I really think Still Life and Blackwater Park should be definite 10s, at least for me, they are perfect.... Anyways...

Two listens in, and I'm not too sure about this one :/
To be completely honest, I'm finding it a little...boring!
A few really awesome songs, but on the whole, I'm certain this will be their lowest rated album to date.

So you're saying that if I like a certain band's entire catalog means my opinion is less worthy? Having bought every Opeth studio album post 1999, and since I think Still Life and Damnation are worthy of a 10 rating my opinion must be discarded as well, right? You're entitled to your opinion, but that does not mean other people's posts are worthless just because they don't agree with your point of view.
This is getting off topic. In my worthless opinion then, after a few listens I think this is definitely a 9. It's a more complex albeit less aggressive piece which I much appreciate, and with every listen I still uncover more and more layers I didn't hear in a previous listen.

... The first listens were actually puzzling, but now it's gaining ground. Sure, it may be not their best work and sometimes it seems a bit sparse, but it's pretty interesting and diverse, and it shows a 100% prog Opeth. Anyway, it's better than the "Watershit" failure. It's a solid 8, for the moment.
I feel it won't be appreciated by many, especially metalheads and those who are not familiar with prog. Fine... Guess everyone has his own tastes. Just give it time and let it grow on you...

Folklore is a cool track, this album is much better than everything else Opeth has released. Blackwater Park is a huge snoozefest for me.

I also want to add that the clean vocals (well, there are only cleans in this one) are much better than on their previous albums, in Damnation they were

It was for me too, but this one isn't much better either. After hearing "Devil's Orchard" I though that this could be the very first Opeth record I would like, but no such luck...
Opeth and I are eternally opposed, it seems.
