Stream Opeth’s New Album Pale Communion in Full Right Now and Tell Us: Do You Love It or Hate It?

Heated arguments have raged on, friendships have come to blows, relationships have deteriorated! Now’s your chance to finally hear what all the debate surrounding Opeth’s new album Pale Communion has been about. Actually, scratch that: if you heard Opeth’s 2011 album Heritage then you already know all about it! So why not continue? Everyone loves a good argument about Opeth these days.

Pale Communion continues on the vein of Heritage — more retro prog, less metal — and takes it even further. Some people think it’s a bold move into the future, some lament the lack of metal from a band that helped define it in the ’00s. I love it, I think it’s great. Axl, not so much.

Pitchfork has the exclusive stream of the album, which we suggest you listen to while reading our official review.
