If you loved The Ocean but wanted an album of just "Silurian," then this is your platter. Unflinchingly melodic, while still pretty heavy, this album is perfectly paced and incredibly addictive. gebs

Zeal & Ardor contributed largely to my education on racism. It was this music that made me understand what People of Colour have had to endure - and still have to endure up to this day. It was also this music that helped me through the anger accompanying the first weeks of the BLM riots.
I can't be anything but grateful for what Manuel taught me by his music: Righteous anger, a healthy dose of insubordinance and anarchism, and the will to endure. Ayn Soph

"It is the title track that oozes the most of Opeth especially with the inclusion of mellotron and the pummeling riffs. But even if there are still a lot of moments that make me think of other bands, Countless Skies grew so much as musicians that I can't help but be won over by how great this whole blend sounds, as much as I am most compelled by the moments in which they sound like no one but themselves."
