I just finished listening to it. It's a bit cryptic to me at first. But it's not unexpected when it comes to prog music.
So I expect my second and third listens to be more enjoyable (and fourth even more and so on).
I did enjoy this first listen nonetheless. had some really good parts, like this flute solo in one of the §. also gonna be hard remembering them just by number.
I do feel what someone else said ([email protected]) , that there's none of this repetitiveness that got me to like Opeth in the beginning, with their Morningrise album.
actual good song! maybe it's time for me to get out of the Emperor comfort zone of black metal.
