Listening to the whole thing now it sounds more like Swallow The Sun without
the songs being super long.

Ian doesn't like Amorphis, and I've never seen him say anything
positive about STS, so I can't imagine why he'd even bother with this.
I will listen though.

I read a review of it and thought it would appeal to some people in here.
I`m nice like that.

I must have become either too cynical or impossible to please
somewhere in the last couple of years.
All I have for this is ... meh. I can hear all the influences they
cite, and it's utterly inferior to all of them.
So with that in mind, is this band's particular recombination
something that appeals? Eh, not for me - the prog is not proggy
enough, the atmospheric is too overproduced, the growls are not
demonic enough. Everything is just middled to the point of ... meh.

I thought it was listenable. I thought I would hate it when their influences
were listed. Didn't hear 'em I guess. I just looked at my Last FM page and
it says I've listened to 2 Opeth songs this year. One was a Celtic Frost
cover and the other a Maiden cover.

I didn't particularly like Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow. Part of
that may be that I like the original so much that nobody on earth
could do justice to it.
Predictably, I've listened to a ton of Opeth this year :)

Appreciate that. I really do.

You're not old enough to call yourself an old man.

Yeah, I don't take too kindly to cover songs. Especially songs I've
heard a lot. If they dig out some semi-obscure song, then fine, but to
take well known songs, I'd rather just hear the original. Unless, of
course, I don't like the original because of the vocalist or some
other reason.

I could go either way on covers. There are many covers of popular
songs that I absolutely adore (Megadeth's I Ain't Superstitious, Ella
Fitzgerald's Summertime, Nevermore's Sound of Silence, Tori Amos'
Smells like Teen Spirit, Jackyll''s Lumberjack Man, almost everything
Johnny Cash has ever touched ... for a few examples).
But at the end of the day, I take covers on a case-by-case. There's
too much variance in quality and appeal for me to make a broad
statement of like or dislike.

Most of those covers ( possibly all of them, couple I`ve never heard of )
are bands offering completely different takes on a song. When a black metal
band cover Celtic Frost or a power metal band Judas Priest...it`s just
pointless.
