####Potential Discussion Questions:

• So most oldschool Opeth fans justifiably hate this album; it sounds literally nothing like their previous stuff. However, since we're all open-minded lovers of all thing progressive, how do we feel about this album?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
