Listened to this album a few times and I'm not very impressed. It sounds stale and too similar to Pale Communion. The singles are really good but overall it sounds like Opeth going through the motions and not really innovating like they usually do.
Hopefully it'll grow on me but for now I'll add it to the long list of 2016 musical disappointments.
If I may ask, what disappointed you this year? I've found 2016 to be an exceptionally strong year in music for me.
Off the top of my head - Dream Theater, Deftones, Gojira, Katatonia, Killswitch Engage, Anthrax, Witchcraft, Explosions in the Sky, Textures, Insomnium, Alter Bridge, Amon Amarth. (Not that these bands made bad albums - just that they didn't impress me very much.)
On the other hand, the new albums from Periphery, Megadeth, Haken, Devin Townsend, Tremonti and Sabaton are all really good. Expecting a few more good ones this year too (i.e. Epica, Alcest, Animals as Leaders and Testament.)
