opeth's sixth, deliverance, is easily one of their best to date. many say that this just doesnt "do it" for them, but i cannot see their logic. the song "deliverance" is easily one of the best they have ever put out in their career, and all others are almost as good. ok, so this album is much more brutal than anything theyre ever done(the opening riff on "master's apprentices" would make any morbid angel fan blush). however, " a fair judgement" is one of opeths best soft song to date, with some of the best vocals mikal has ever done.
