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.

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).

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,

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.
