Average Rating:
 Rating: - Utterly PerfectHow I see it, there are three top Opeth albums, and I'm hard pressed to pick a favourite. 2001's Blackwater Park is often considered the benchmark release, and is certainly definitive in terms of their sound. 2005's Ghost Reveries sees the band at their most diverse, and this year's Watershed is overflowing with moments of absolute sonic perfection. Seeing as its still 2008, I'll plump for Watershed for the time being. But there's no doubt that every time I revisit Ghost Reveries, I end up doubting myself. The last album to feature the so-called classic line-up of Akerfeldt, Lindgren, Lopez and Mendez, aided by one Per Wiberg on keys, Ghost Reveries is a perfect, and I don't throw that word around lightly, swansong for those departing ...

Opeth have never been Darkthrone and the kind of music that they make incorperates so many elements that it deserves the best production possible, of course this should'nt take anything away from the fact that their earlier material was fantastic as well, it's just that there were a different sounding band back then.I imagine that the critisim that this album has come under may have somehting to do with the fact that Opeth have signed to Roadrunner, a label which in recent years has been the home of such bands as Nickleback, Coal chamber, ill nino ...

Track 1: Ghost Of Perdition: Jumps straight in, death metal verse follow by some great prog rock style verse, then back to death metal, 10.5 min's never gets boring 10/10 Track 2: The Baying Of The Hounds: Similar structure to track 1, amazing 10/10 Track 3: Beneath The Mire: Abit lighter than the previous 2 tracks, still great though 8/10 Track 4: Atonement: Lighter again, as good as beneath the mire 8/10 Track 5: Reverie-Harlequin Forest: Much more prog rock, with a few elements of death metal in it. Mikeals vocals are genious, my fav track. 10/10 Track 6: Hours Of Wealth: ... Read More: Rating: - This is the businessI got this as a christmas present last year not knowing exactly what to expect. I had never heard OPETH before, but I had read reviews of them being really unique, and I had recently discovered the progressive monstorousness of TOOL, and death metal in IN FLAMES and SEPULTURA, and though completely different to them, i would say that they helped warm me to this unique sound, which seems to draw a little from all of them. On a first listen this was not worth 5 stars, it was good, but it's a bit hard to get into if it's your first OPETH cd, but it's totally worth it. The guitars are beautiful and hauting, powerful and gentle, all in the same song, accompanied by equally horrific groul and melodic clean vocals, which all complement each other. The drums are ... Read More: Rating: - The definition of brilliance!There are musicians, and there there's Opeth. One of only a handful of bands for whom the term artist seems more appropriate, Opeth are simply on a different level. They may do the same basic things that all bands do, like making albums and touring, but there the similarity ends. '' Ghost Reveries'' has more thought and invention, not to mention vision, than most bands manage to put into their entire careers. A single song, any song, on this album covers more ground musically, (even Mikael Åkerfeldt's vocals alone), than a single album by most bands. ''The Baying of the Hounds'' is a perfect example. Death metal growls, but with an organ-led backing reminiscent of Deep Purple, which gives way to some hauntingly beautiful clean vocals from ... Read More: |
