![In Cauda Venenum (Box Set) [VINYL]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O8njB8foL.jpg)
Swedens Opeth are preparing to release their most important record to date with In Cauda Venenum. Certainly, fans and critics will have their opinion, but few records in the Swedes oeuvre are as engaging, delicate, panoramic, intense, and musical as Opeths lucky thirteenth. Opeths usual five star musicianship, and lyrics entirely in Swedish, In Cauda Venenum raises the bar markedly. While a record in Swedish is a first—theres also an English version—for frontman and founding member Mikael Åkerfeldt, the 10 songs on offer feel and sound completely natural. As if years of listening to and being a fan of Swedish rock and hard rock has paid off. In a way, Opeth have come home. But the Swedish lyrics of the primary edition of In Cauda Venenum shouldnt distract from the quality presented in Opeths new songs, the lot of which sneak up and take control after repeated listens. In Cauda Venenum is like that, tricky in its complicated simplicity, resourceful in its ability to charm with delightful if wistful melodies. Really, its just Opeth being Opeth. Lush deluxe box sets includes 2CD digipak, 5.1 Audio Blu ray, 2LP Orange180gm vinyl, 2LP Yellow180gm vinyl, poster and certificate

5.1 mix Glitch
Re: 5.1 mix glitch between final 2 songs Continuum and All Things Will Pass. I contacted the record company Nuclear Blast regarding this issue the reply was....I have checked the issue and I was told that the break within the two tracks was on the master as well and it seems that it is there on purpose…Uuuuh No !Conclusion. Badly Mastered / Authored.Pity as it kinda ruins an otherwise excellent 5.1 mix

Love the music, but a nasty digial glitch in surround mix.
OK, so I don't get bombed with negative comments. PLEASE KNOW - I LOVE the new Opeth - In Cauda Veneum!But the surround mix has a huge digital error. The glitch is there between 9. Continuum / 10. All Things Will Pass. It doesn't do it on the stereo mix / CD's, just the Surround mix. As the drums continue from the end of Continuum, into All Things Will Pass, there's a glitch / stop for a moment, obnoxious interference in the wonderful transition.Not that I'm an expert engineer, but I have done a lot of mastering, and it sounds like the "marker" between the two songs hasn't been programmed to be silent.Anyone else here have this issue with the surround mix (which overall is quite good!)?
