with the departure of steve wilson, i can see a leap back to older stuff, as mentioned. maybe we can see something more like Bloodbath? (new record out, it kicks ass)

Yes, the Moor is excellent (especially the buildup to the first riff and the riff itself, and that growl!), but I prefer Godhead's Lament. It's got more variety, I guess; it covers so much ground in 10 minutes that at some points I can't believe I'm listening to the same song.
It's hard to say what the new album will sound like, especially with the lack of steven wilson. I think he had a lot of influence over the albums that he produced, and there is certainly a different sound between Still Life and Blackwater Park, for example. I just hope they stop using the so-called "telephone voice" effect so often. The only thing I'm expecting is some great music with heavy riffs and growling, some kickass solos, and some awesome acoustic playing with clean singing. That's probably a safe bet.
