Steady Diet

 Finally, in its hour-long duration, 'Heritage' manages perfectly in its goal of being long-winded and boring.

 With all due respect, Mr. Åkerfeldt, but was there really a need for a poor emulation of ’70s progressive rock, which adds nothing to what was said forty years ago?

Opeth's 'Heritage' marks a bold departure from metal to pure progressive rock influenced by the 70s. Despite tight instrumentation and classic prog elements, the album suffers from cold execution and uninspired vocals. Many fans and the reviewer find it long-winded and lacking the emotional depth characteristic of Opeth's earlier work. Only a few tracks like 'Marrow of the Earth' offer some redeeming qualities, but overall the album is seen as a disappointing tribute rather than fresh artistry. Discover the full review and decide if Opeth's 'Heritage' suits your prog rock tastes.
