3. I Feel The Dark
4. Slither
5. Nepenthe

7. Famine
8. The Lines In My Hand
9. Folklore
10. Marrow Of The Earth

Opeth's latest adn tenth studio album. Here they have done a different approach from "Watershed" and have pretty much blown away the metal influences. And in comes the progressive rock feeling. Strange, psychadelic and somewhat touching. I would think it's their change towards a softer album that gets down the general review of this album. For me this a big musical step up compared to Watershed.
