But the recent buzz around Blood Incantation’s genre-defying Absolute Elsewhere and now, Opeth’s latest long player has seen a resurgence of interest in the more progressive fringes of music. It may not match the 70s heyday when the likes of Jethro Tull, Yes and Pink Floyd sold out mammoth arenas and shifted albums in the tens of millions, but there are stirrings of an awakening.
Intrigued? Question is whether the band delivers musically to match the cinematic ambition of its storyline. None of the tracks, except A Story Never Told, have titles with Roman numerals depicting each track as a reading of a will.
However, that is where the good news ends. The Last Will and Testament is lumpen, overblown and lacking in focus. Despite the many positive reviews online, this new long-player does not come close to replicating past glories.
The songs seem to go nowhere as one meaningless guitar solo meanders into the next, adding little to proceedings. It just seems the band is being obtuse for the sake of it.
Despite the overwhelming positive reviews online, The Last Will and Testament is not the Opeth classic that many are making it out to be. ‘Boring’ is possibly the most apt description of this new record. Damn shame, really.
