OPETH: EVERY ALBUM, EVERY SONG
Jordan Blum SONICBOND PUBLISHING
From death metal to prog, one song at a time.
Jordan Blum, who’s also given
the On Track treatment to
Dream Theater and Jethro Tull,
puts Opeth’s recorded studio
output under the microscope
with his latest offering. It’s
clear that Blum is a big fan, and
there’s a tendency to shower
superlatives everywhere,
although he’s less enamoured
of some of the later works – principally
Heritage, which he regards as a bold if
not wholly successful leap into the
unknown for Mikael Åkerfeldt and co.
