Last year, I was at a CD store and this album, for some odd reason, seemed to call out to me. Maybe it's because of the amazing cover art or maybe it was just me, I'll never know. I've only been a metalhead for a short time (2 years). The first real metal band that I listened to was Iron Maiden, then I heard about Slayer, and the Lamb Of God, Children Of Bodom, Tool, In Flames, Trivium, etc. Previous to being in the music store, I had heard about Opeth from a friend and I had actually heard two tracks from the new release, those being, GHOST OF PERDITION, and THE GRAND CONJURATION. I thought that these two tracks were absolutely mindblowing, and so as I was saying, the album called out to me, so I bought it. What a good choice I made.

I personally find all Opeth releases extremely enjoyable; very easy to listen to, digestible, but this is my least favourite. They made up for it on Watershed though in my opinion.
7 is not at all a true value for this album...do you even know how to analyze music ?

Can't be bothered to reply to this guy's PMs, so I'll just leave them here because they're hilarious.

I am objective and I say that you're wrong ! Your opinion does not matter to me because what I say is almost the absolute truth. That album is a total masterpiece - one of the best albums created in the metal scene in this fucked up world.
Your way to analyze music is wrong...not realistic at all - you're like cancer that it's good things. You just rate albums and give wrong ratings; you miss the very essential things.
You called me idiot just for criticizing you...that's wrong - cancer; I thought masses of people in that country you live are much more educated than in other places in this world.
Do you know what complexity, sound quality, artistry, lyricism, DEPTH, rhythm, album cohesiveness and originality is ? It seems that you don't know...

People and their superior ways of analysing music.

Why is your name not cancer yet Joe ?
To try and stay a bit on-topic (and repeating what I've already written on page 1); Ghost Reveries is one of my favorite Opeth albums, and although I can understand people refering to it as "progressive wankery", there is not a single moment on the album that bores me.

Joe is definitely a cancer for not liking this as much as I. Seriously, this is a great record and I don't find any bad moment in it. The first two tracks are among the bests they've ever written.

Do you even have any idea that people have different tastes? We're not all the same.

How can something be 'almost the absolute truth'? Is it like it would be true, except it's not?

The Baying Of The Hounds is really good, I can feel the old Opeth (Black Waterpark).
