Album from year when my metalhead internet career(no fuck sake its nit career, its LIFESTYLE, since age 13 I like such music and I have not given it up and I am 30 now, I wont give it up, if I have not I wont) anyway 2005 was when I most start use I net for music IMO 1999 was when I got I net home and until 2003/04 it was dial up. After it when its 24h , it was possibilities and I spend hours digging, looking in doom metal.com , gothmetal.net, MS and MA ...
ok back on album, one of 1th what I dig up online, maybe because I saw music video, I dunno, I knew Opeth before, but that days I was like poser, I liked only what is '' TrOO'' I was not into any what is not TrOO (even nu , djen, mat most of prog sucks still) , I didn't like it than
Now its enjoyable album, great guitars, great calm clean vocal passage , I hate song The Grand Conjuration, but basically I like this album a lot now, rest is simply brilliant.
and yes I will listen this music until day I die , pension days be wonderful,

Life is to short for LOVE, there is many great things to do online !!!

A fairly safe album by their standards. It seems like the motive behind this one was to please all the fans. Some quality tunes regardless.

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 
Now that Opeth in general finally clicked with me after years of trying to get into it, I get the same feeling about this record too. First I thought it just because of how it sounds, but then realized I'm fine with the production - it's the songwriting that I find not so appealing. Some choices, misplaced dissonance that makes me lose interest and comes across messy.

I come back to this record every few years to see if it's grown on me, and every time I go away feeling hugely unsatisified. The sound and components are there, and there's the odd good moment, but the songwriting is such a mess. Feels like it has every prog-problem under the sun. Amazed they went on to write Watershed, considering how great that turned out.

It certainly doesn't help that the first song is the best. Makes the rest of the album a bit anticlimactic.

I prefer Reverie/Harlequin Forest, though that might be because I listened to Ghost Reveries before Still Life. That totally amazing riff-change @ around 2:50 is basically the same as the best moment from Serenity Painted Death.

But I thought the best moment from Serenity Painted Death was how it ends so abruptly and jarringly

It's definitely inferior to the previous ones except for Deliverance maybe but I still manage to really enjoy this.

Revisited this album a few times last week and it still really impresses me. Such solid, thought-out, but still inspired songwriting and possibly the best sound they've ever had, even if I do love the rawish production of their early stuff. Can't say I agree at all with people who don't consider it in the top 4 Opeth albums.

I think blackwater park is the absolute Opeth's breakthrough, but they reached a pinnacle in their career, that pinnacle is Ghost Reveries. Every second of this album is 10/10 worthy
