They did some songs from it at this show, though, and I could tell it was different. There's an interesting review of it on allmusic.com. I still can't believe they play the Showbox in Seattle. That place is dinky compared to where they played in LA. I actually haven’t heard it yet. They did some songs from it at this show, though, and I could tell it was different.

Opeth is one of those bands that I get nervous telling people about because I want them to be all mine. I don't listen to a lot of music other than metal, but I would be really surprised if there was a better rock band on the planet. I know there's not a better front man. My man crush on Mikael is going on 5 years now. Susan, have you listened to Watershed? It's so dissonant, and it's taking me quite a few listens to really "get".

I like smaller venues. I think it’d work well for an artist like Ray LaMontagne (who is playing there soon) but I’m mostly not too into theater shows. I like smaller venues.
