Can't go wrong with this album. Brilliant effort from Opeth, You need to buy this album if you never heard it. I wish Opeth makes another album as good as Ghost Reveries. Watershed Sucks!

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.

Then we aren't on the same opinion. I personally think almost all Opeth songs are overwritten. I still enjoy the songs, but none of them are my favourite.

This is the first Opeth album I listened to. I had to check out the rest of their discography of course and although I like their other albums I was disappointed that I didn't find anything as good as this release - a classic, one of my favorite albums EVER.

Listened to it again after some time had passed. Had the complete opposite reaction. Ordered the album today. Will listen to it to death when I get it. Strange...

It took a month to sink in. It happens. But isn't it a great feeling when you start loving an album, which used to be totally weird or just bad? I think I had a similar experience with Ghost Reveries, and now it's one of my favorite Opeth albums.

Indeed, it's a great feeling of discovery and appreciation. Now I am just afraid that Opeth might ruin every other band for me

I think after blackwater park this is the best opeth album but clean tracks are not as good as early works of band

Personaly speaking Ghost Reveries is Opeths finest album..da range is vast..starting with the Brilliant Ghost Of Perdition and then continuing the madness with Baying Of The Hounds and Beneath The Mire..the energy is orgasmic and then Opeth offers Their Ace..The Grand Conjuration..along with a some brilliant mellow pieces like atonement and isolation years..a priceless album indeed!

I, like almost everyone, am a giant Opeth fan and have heard it all multiple times.
Ghost Reveries is my favorite. Its the most polished and listenable album and I love every freakin' second of it.

You should read to the end of the page before quoting, mate. I didn't erase the comment where I expressed my dislike for the album after I acquired the taste for it and changed my mind. Instead I quoted myself and said what I now thought of them. I never pretend that I didn't say something I did.

At first I thought the same thing, but after a few listens of Watershed, everything seemed to click. Watershed, Ghost Reveries, Blackwater Park, and My Arms, Your Hearse are definitely my favorite Opeth albums, and that's saying a lot, because I love every single album they have and think that they're all goddamn masterpieces.

how are they overwritten? if u are talking about the length of the songs: its progressive stuff. the songs are meant to be long and take u on a journey (an enjoyable fulfilling one at that), its not meant to be super-duper catchy and super-duper easy accessible where u digest it right away. i assume u are not a huge fan of progressive stuff but if u are i dont see how opeth overwrites anything that isnt well-thought out.

I agree with all of that. I believe The Grand Conjuration was the first I heard off of it, and that song amazed me too. But overall I really see a level of consistency in songwriting quality on this album; the whole thing is great to listen to (which I can't say the same for about some of the other Opeth albums).

Some great songs on this album, but it tapers away towards the end. Ghost of Perdition and Baying of the Hounds are great tracks for long solo driving trips (be warned you may lose your voice!)

Totally disagreed. Well, it's subjective obviously, but for me this is a lot better than Watershed... as my rating should indicate.

This one feels very forced at a lot of points for me and lacked a sense of flow. That's about it really

I'm curious as to which songs on here are your favourites. I'd say Reverie/Harlequin Forest and Beneath The Mire are the highlights (especially the former). I think I like The Grand Conjuration the least, though at this point I'm unsure since it's been a long while since I fully listened to this album.

I'll have to listen to it again before I can tell you. This album has not seen much attention in recent years

I kind of agree with both of you. I like this album but it lacks consistency. Some tracks are just "eh" to me while others are pretty fucking good.
But... Watershed ain't that big of a deal either. Basically same idea. Some moments are brilliant and others I feel indifferent about.
Both still good albums though.

Fair enough. Same here, as I said. Spun it a ton of times over the years though. In any case, I still regard Reverie/Harlequin Forest as one of their best songs ever... like top 10 songs.

Well, I disagree with what you say about GR, but agree about Watershed. A few songs on there (Coil and Porcelain Heart especially) are really boring in comparison to the really awesome songs on the album (Heir Apparent, Hessian Peel and Hex Omega... undoubtedly the highlights for me).

Yeah I also like GR more than Watershed. Watershed does have some great stuff but some of them are really forced and some even almost cringe-inducing at times, while GR is consistently good.
Also Harlequin Forest and Isolation Years are some of my favourite Opeth tracks.

My high school art teacher once told me the key to being successful as an artist is to bring out an emotional response in the viewer (or in this case, listener), be it good or bad.
She hated my artwork and failed me as a result. One of life's little ironies.

What a bell-end. You should have shat on the table in front of her and shouted: "There's some art, bitch."

That probably would have resulted in a pass grade (strong emotional response in the viewer) but an expulsion from the school.
