Opeth - The Devil's Orchard

Pretty good, though nothing spectacular imo atleast on first listen. Still looking forward to the album.

edit: listened again, changed my mind, it sounds very good, my excuse is I wasn't listening properly the first time :p I personally don't care if the vocals are clean or not.

Can hear the classic Prog influences, like Rush and the similiar :). Been an Opeth fan for many a year now and this deff sounds like Opeth, however with more proggression/changes than we've heard before, might just be the production though.
 
Not listened yet, however a new Opeth album is always welcome news. I've always been more into the musical interludes than the ROAR! sections anyway...although *very* occasionally it hits the spot. Will be interesting to hear whether the music suffers from the lack of dynamics/contrast. Doubt it though.

Edit: Just listened and not sure if it is my cup of tea yet. Would prefer less prog keyboards and more folk acoustics. It's still surprisingly heavy!

Additional Edit 2: Listenning again. It's awesome?! Well some absolutely beautiful parts in there, although that opening riff just sounds like he forgot to stomp his distortion pedal.
