"The Last Will And Testament" by Opeth (THEIR BEST ALBUM IN A LONG TIME!) | ALBUM REVIEW

[@brianmorrison2578]

Everything Opeth has done is incredible. They are the best fucking band walking the Earth today.

[@VampireJack10]

Indeed, alongside ENSLAVED and IHSAHN, we are living through a golden age of metal imho.

[@threestringsomg]

Correct

[@moonlightreveries1459]

This is just a fact. ❤ Opeth is amazing

[@Gerd0]

Really hate seeing people saying "Opeth is back" as if they ever left and at least In Cauda Venenum wasn't fantastic, but damn this new one blows the last few out of the water. My copy showed up early and it's incredible. It's a really strong listen in one sitting experience of an album. The second half is the highlight for me, but it's made so much better by being the follow up to the also very solid first half.

[@__414.88b_]

Ok but they're BACK man i mean

[@jeanfrancozaratemarcial7916]

@@__414.88b_ Yeah, they´re back... with a new album :D

[@chucklz1100]

i agree with you brother but you kinda contradicted yourself haha, by saying the last few weren't great and this is fantastic does in fact imply they left (last few releases) and have now come back (last will and testament). All in jest, much love 🤘

[@shaneregan7745]

I agree but the last album I really connected with was ironically enough pale communion.

[@willong666]

Perhaps, better than Watershed- or even more. Heritage and Pale communion, i can't stand easily, but i accepted that era ( in the end), Sorceress and especially ICV was a constantly improvement, back to metal- on half way. Now it's done, progressive metal again, not because growls- it's about the rythm- section, last but not least: the guitars and drums! Now, i'm sitting here, waiting for my parcel, prepared and ready to celebrate, one of the most wanted and possibly: best albums in 24'...

[@wyattfreihon4048]

I always felt bad because I listened to all of Opeth’s albums post Watershed and I never hated them for a change in style. It was just a style I wasn’t really a fan of. I’m glad they’re continuing with the sound they want to make and honestly the single that dropped made me super hyped. Can’t wait to jam it

[@TheSadistNat1on]

Well if u like that single..in Canada venenum. It's literally soooo amazing. The other three are good opeth..but that's in cauda is one of their best albums

[@Rosterized]

For a lot of people the guttural vocals added contrast to the clean sections and everything in between that opeth was doing in their songs. When that element changed to just cleanly sung vocals that was a big hit to what made Opeth Opeth. No matter if the pure clean albums were good or not something was missing from the formula for a lot of people. Like I didnt hate the clean albums or anything but that was not the albums I was listening over and over again. Like for me personally what made it click for me in the early albums was the constant switchups between the styles and how seamlessly they went from section to section. Like they were playing 3 different songs in one song and making it work effortlessly. Damnation is the only clean album I keep relistening, that album is so damn good. Also makes me emotional as hell on top of everything

[@NocturnalSummoning45]

My Arms Your Hearse is one of my favorite Opeth albums.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

[@ShutUpJer]

[@toksic424]

As an autistic Opeth fanboy, I've always defended their prog rock era. That being said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely excited for the growls to return.

[@jeanfrancozaratemarcial7916]

I tier-listed in a comment in Metal Trenches´s recent Opeth ranking video the albums of Opeth, and let me tell you, I don´t think this band has any bad albums whatsoever, even their weakest outputs like Orchid, Heritage and Sorceress have KILLER tunes here and there. I seriously want to move time forward to tomorrow holy shit the wait has been killing me...

[@Rkitt8]

Just wait until you hear it. It’s surprisingly brutal and possibly the most beautiful album they’ve made. When it wraps up, you’re left stunned. Ian Anderson is AWESOME. Must listen all the way through in one sitting. Read the lyrics, keep up with story. It’s so worth it.

[@MetalFriscoDude79]

I fucking ❤ Opeth, great review

[@IanMcLean-ez7ou]

I've listened to it a few times, and just like all the rest they've done since Ghost Reveries, it's just sliding right over me. I think I perhaps just never liked Opeth for the same reasons a lot of other people did. From MAYH, Still Life, Blackwater, Deliverance, Damnation and Ghost Reveries, they're all permeated with a sense of consuming sorrow. All Opeth albums are dark, but these ones were a different brand of it. With Watershed I immediately noticed the music no longer felt "sad" dark and instead "spooky" dark, and I can no longer connect with it. The music's always very clever but I just bounce off of it like I do listening to neo-classical shred music. The argument about growls being there or not is a red herring imo. Compare with a band like Paradise Lost, that I love all the time whether they're doing death-doom or synth-pop, because it's consistently miserable no matter what instruments they're using.

[@VTM_isawesome]

Totally agree

[@moonlightreveries1459]

To each their own, I mean their earlier albums evoke much more emotion/soul and moves my heart in a different way than the later ones so I agree. They are also my favorite band, so I love all their music. I can see what you mean though. I love this album. It’s so trippy and crazy. The story is awesome. 👏🏼

[@michelvoortman4725]

You don't like Watershed? I like earlier Opeth because of the darkness. It has a haunting quality to it. Damnation has it as well. That left with Heritage. I didn't like the two albums after that, but In Cauda Venenum was alright. More bombastic.

[@gojiramonkey2112]

Opeth rules.... from a longtime British fan

[@gabrielantonio6793]

This channel deserves its own BCE/CE type of time division 😅 Before Thrashin' Jackson and After Thrashin' Jackson maybe idk

[@blackwaterrust476]

Opeth for a looooooooooong time have been one of my favorite Prog/Metal bands of all time, and they still are. A band that is responsible alongside the likes of Children of Bodom, Slayer, Kreator, Morbid Angel and Death for getting me into More extreme forms of metal and also a band that slowly got me into bands/Artists like Gentle Giant, Yes, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Miles Davis, Nick Drake. No Doubt I dont develop a lot of my music taste without Opeth. Excited to give this a listen, from whst ive heard it sounds great. Like a return to Ghost Reveries/Watershed Opeth mixed with In Cauda Venenum

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Come to think of it, I can credit Opeth with introducing me to more jazz and prog rock as well. I imagine a lot of others will feel the same. Thanks Opeth.

[@Owenator26]

I need a few more listens to really digest everything instrumentally as well as the story of this concept album. From what I heard first couple listens through Opeth has knocked it out of the park yet again. Bringing back that Ghost Reveries & Watershed sound with some elements I heard from their last album In Cauda Venenum. Ian Anderson adds alot to these songs with his flute playing as well as the narration throughout this album. The orchestra work in this is brilliant! There was not one song on this album I didn't like every song offers a memorable guitar riff,drum rythm, string arrangement and the bass work really brings that groove to these tracks as well. Definitely up there with my top prog metal releases this year along with Vola's new album. Thank you Opeth! \m/

[@paradoxrift2600]

This album is pretty much exactly what I wanted from Opeth for years. Might even be my AOTY, as basic as that sounds. I like how they incorporated a lot of the stuff they've picked up over the years instead of just trying to make "Still Life pt. 2" even though I'd probably still eat that up because I'm a simp. I also agree on the point that Opeth was always more of a prog band with death metal elements than vice versa, and i think more people need to hear that. Similar thoughts for a band like Cynic. Doesn't make them any less awesome.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

In Cauda is one of Opeths best..which he knew, IIII knew lol, that it was the perfected album of the prog era, and he moved on. I literally knew it, and then he actually stated that recently, so. Mike Portnoy knows, He knows how dank In Cauda is...if anyones sleeping on that album, literally its pure Opeth..the other 3 i like and enjoy but In Cauda Ranks as well as teh DM stuff..and then this album is just perhaps Opeths best work as its everything rolled in one and its so cool sounding

[@danieldelrio1411]

1. Time Will Testament 2. Ghost Reveries 3. Still Life 4. Watershed 5. Black Water Park ❤❤❤

[@sean447744]

I think it's less about the growls and more about the full range of music that only opeth can master the way they do. We missed the full range. But i agree that all of their releases are great and anything this band releases has my full attention. So stoked.

[@PacifistNihilist]

I’m currently listening to this album (towards the end) and it’s so exciting that not only are the gutturals back but the album is such a breath of fresh air to listen to. While admittedly I’m not the biggest fan of the prog era, I know they are fantastic albums and would occasionally listen to it. This album is on my best of the year list. Article/Paragraph 2 has one tasty guitar riff that tickles the back of my brain in a groovy way. For me, if newer Opeth sounded more in line to what Damnation sounded like, I would be all over that. Damnation is one of my personal favorite albums. Great review! I agree with you and you hit the nail on the head.

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

I'm looking forward to this! Between this and the new Fellowship album dropping tomorrow, this year's metal releases are going out with a bang.

[@joakimskurk]

Ok, hear me out. I'm all aboard the f*ck yeah, growling-wagon, but I don’t see it quite the same way as you. The Opeth I got into back in the mid-2000s was a progressive band. Progressive. I know it’s a genre, but I expect actual progression from progressive bands. I enjoy all their stuff, but can we really call their retro-prog albums progressive? Not really. Was it necessary to carve the path to this new album? Probably. But hey, I’m just glad to see some progress again!

Though half the time I disagree with your reviews, I will say you've done a great job with this new "Thrashin Jackson" character. Quality evolution, I also quite enjoyed your in depth review.

[@freemonwicher3840]

Ok lemme break it down real quick, I have been a part of a band that absolutely deep throats Opeth, and I have listened to their whole discography including this one, and from someone intimately familiar with their music and output I can tell you for certain this is their best album since Watershed, Not just for being heavy and having death vocals again (which admittedly helps a great deal) but because the whole album balances the heavy and the melodic prog stuff just as good as every album up to watershed, if this album came out right after watershed it would have actually made the transition to the melodic 70s prog stuff more natural. As far as the last 4 albums go I've listened to them all several times and I enjoy them (pale communion is the best) but this new album is so much better than all of them its not even funny.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

[@geo-fry6372]

Pale Communion and In Cauda Venenum are top 4 Opeth albums for me (along with Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries), so I’ve found the discourse strange, to say the least. And after listening to The Last Will and Testament, it has a solid chance of being a top 5 Opeth record. It combines everything I love about newer Opeth, and brings back some of the heaviness of their older works. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be my album of the year, next to Dvne’s Voidkind and Sungazer’s Against the Fall of Night.

[@tylerjacobson8012]

When mikael removed growls from opeths sound it changed the bands sonic outputs for the negative. I’m not a metal purist or anything . I don’t care about that stuff. Mikael removing a pivotal element of dynamics from his band made the music good just not as distinctive though. Which is why this album is getting praise. The prog era Opeth just felt like mikael was doing what all musicians do and that’s try something different when u get bored. The problem is he was so perfect at this one aspect of music that his craft suffered slightly for his when he took away that aspect. Doesn’t mean the prog wasn’t good. It’s great imo as someone who’s a prog connoisseur. It’s not as good as the death metal era. The old albums rarely have moments that are uninteresting or bad. The prog era has lots of moments and songs that are what I’d say are uninteresting or water treading. Mikael has always had this thing about his songwriting where he wears his influences on his sleeve. A lot like Jimmy page did with his love of blues. When mikael writes death metal the riffs and instrumental sections have obvious influence from a lot of these prog bands he likes. Or you can really hear the morbid Angel inspiration which always annoys me. The thing about that when it’s in a death metal context it really sounds fresh but when it’s in a prog rock context it sounds a little too familiar. So I’ve always liked the prog era. Just not loved. I thought wow these prog riffs that are inspired mahavishnu orchestra, yes, deep purple, etc. would sound great if they were in that death metal context. It’s great to know that’s where he’s went with this. Super excited to hear the rest of it.

Opeth isn't back. They never left and except for Lotus, their debut, they didn't make a bad album. Out of 14 studio albums, at least 11 are way above average albums.

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

[@daviddevilliers2828]

Yeaaahhh, great album

[@darrelladams4886]

With their classic albums I always found that my enjoyment was brought down by too much bloat. Songs would have great moments but could also be victims of too much repetition, dynamic tone shifts that don’t serve the songs as well as other parts do. Almost as if there was a no riff or idea left behind mentality in place. Could have been mikaels ego at work or perhaps limited time in the studio And trying to stay within a budget got in the way of refinement. Songs easily coulda carved 2-3 min off. Later albums did show songwriting improvement which I think probably peaked with ghost reveries. I do enjoy some of there more current material but also find some of it pretty ho hum and skippable. I did find the first release off this new album pretty interesting though so I’m hoping for a good album. Always loved mikaels clean vocals but he was always such a top tier growler that to just leave that element behind felt so wrong

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

I kinda see what you mean but I think the material is strong enough that it still works

[@ThePixelnator]

I just got done listening to the new album and i unfortunately disagree. I don’t see what the hype is. You said it perfectly in your video.. they’re growling again, but growling over the same music they’ve been doing for a decade. The music prior to that decade is the Opeth I fell in love with. Seems like their goal now is to see how many random prog notes they can hit in every song. Their albums used to take me on an emotional roller coaster and I felt nothing on this one. RIP Opeth.

i disagree, The new album is very problematic. If this was the bands only album, you wouldnt be their fan. There is not any memorable moment, the are no significant melodies, transitions, simply not good composition that was remarkable for Opeth in their whole carrier. The lbum is very drums oriented, you just listen to overkilling drums which overkill everything else. Yet, the album is very ambitious, i am not saying they didnt put any effort into it, they did, quite a lot of effort.

I just never understood the popularity of this band. I’ve listened to a few of their albums in their entirety, and if you asked if I could remember one riff from them, I honestly couldn’t. Are these guys capable musicians? Absolutely, especially the drummer (props to a very tight performance here), but man do these guys do everything in their power to kill any momentum they may be building towards. Every time I said to myself “Ok, this is where it’s gonna pick up”, they kill that momentum, and add in some transition that makes absolutely zero sense. I basically could have copied and pasted my review of the Blood Incantation record here, as this suffers from all of the same things (desperate attempts to sound original, lack of any memorable riffs, poor transitions etc) but yeah…. Drummer rules though
