I actually don't hear any Opeth at all.
Looking forward to the new album and 2 EP's from the pledge campaign that I put $160 for.

Do you get anything for that $160?
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

That sounds awesome.

Though I'd call it fucking pretentious if any other band had titles like this. I mean, it's still slightly pretentious, but I know that NeO can create music so awesome that I don't care about the pretentiousness of the titles.

it's less cheesy than the Rush equivalents  :P

i really like that it's essentially 3 songs. was hoping NeO would vastly expand their scope like this! (now if only Anathema could follow suit...)

Yeah I absolutely agree on the track titles being, at the very least, a little pretentious. But echoing Scorp and Zantera, it's not going to bother me if the music holds up.

I'm looking forward to the release of North American tour dates. Hopefully I can catch a show within a couple hours distance.

That sounded pretty good.

This is a band I'm really on the fence about; I really love parts of their sound but I've given Portal of I a few tries and I just couldn't sit through it. A lot of the songs just seemed to monotonous and repetitive, with some amazing sections here and there. So I'm hoping that this next album is an improvement in that regard.

Portal of I is definitely one of those albums I would want to like more than I do. In theory it could be a strong 9 or 9.5 out of 10 for me, but it's only about 7.5 or an 8. I like it, but it's not completely mindblowing. If I compare them to other bands who mix black metal with other genres (like Agalloch for example), they're a notch below in quality. But with that said, I do very much like the album, just hoping it will click a bit more.

Give me more of those pretentious titles pls.

Oh man, one of the bands that I just have really high hopes for and am excited to see what they do and how they advance in their career while being able to listen to what they make. And this song has me so happy and excited for their new album that I'm really glad they clicked with me with the first listen I ever gave them. Hope you end up enjoying them as much as I do Zantera with their new album when it comes out and then eventually their first album.

As far as I can see, nobody is bitching about the titles, just acknowledging that they're pretenious/super proggy as fuck, which is kind of hard to dispute. Of course it's not what the music is titled as that is important, but the music itself, but I don't see anything wrong with noting what a title comes across as.

No, now that you bring it up, I agree with you. But like DC said, I don't think we're bitching.

So 'Curator' is a third of one movement of the full song? 'Painters of the Tempest' must be massive if it is all one song! :omg:

I'll get this album as I loved Portal of I, but I'll wait until it comes out to listen to anything from it.

I didn't mean literally bitching...I just found the idea of saying that something was pretentious is a pretentious behavior itself mildly amusing.

It looks like it's a song within a song within a song.

Already seeing people ejaculating "BEST ALBUM OF THE DECADE" so I shall remain wary of the hype train this has going. I know it'll be good, but from the song or two shown, definitely not album of the year, let alone the decade.

Always good to be wary of the hype train, but I've got to say so far I'm very impressed. I always liked the first one, but somehow found myself wanting to like it even more than I did.

This one doesn't have that problem for me. I'm finding this one to be, on the whole, more varied, memorable, and interesting than Portal of I. Triptych Lux, in particular, is magnificent.

Fantastic album. Not my album of the year, but it's one of the year's best albums. I think the violin and clean vocals are the best parts about this group.

Yeah, this album is on another level. Absolutely phenomenal, and a definite improvement over Portal of I. Top 5 of the year right now, we'll see if it gets #1-- it certainly is good enough.

Trying very hard to resist listening to the stream.
I just ordered the CD/vinyl,
Portal was a real struggle for me until I saw them play it live then everything clicked.

Have been listening to this quite a bit the last couple days and I really think it's outstanding. It feels as though it runs a little short and I think there could be maybe one mid-length song with lyrics somewhere between the longer songs and short instrumentals. Being a newer fan of the band I can't compare between this and Portal Of I but to me this is exceptional! :tup

Currently listening, and I'm liking what I'm hearing. Not sure if it's as good as its predecessor - only time will tell that - but it sure as hell doesn't disappoint. Every black metal band should use violins.

For me they haven't quite solved the problem that I had with the debut-the long songs all slightly overstay their welcome for me, and I honestly zone out for the last few minutes of the sixteen minute one. I still see them as having loads of potential, but they would be a far better band if they worked the 6-8 minute range more often for me.

For me, that's there major selling point for me, being a truly progressive and innovative that mixes things up, plays long songs and is a little over the top.
Going from a brutal black metal onslaught to an ambient interlude is music to my ears  :metal
