Passion. That's what Blackwater Park is all about. Pure, unadulterated passion. Forget that Opeth display musical ability and know-how that is rivaled by few. Forget that the ending to The Leper Affinity goes from what can only be described as one of the greatest jam sessions ever, to a beautiful, yet melancholic pianistic epilogue. Forget that Harvest is one of the greatest acoustic songs ever written. Forget that Blackwater Park contains the perfect metal riff. Forget that Mikael Akerfeld quite possibly has the best voice in all of music. Forget that every moment of this album will make you stand in awe of what you're hearing. Why should you forget all that? Because none of it matters.

There are few bands that dare to continuously expand their musical sphere with each release, expecting their fans to accept the changes - even fewer succeed. Mikael Åkerfeldt, song writer and front man of Opeth, has pushed Opeth to do so since the band's inception and perhaps it's this constant change, not giving the audience a chance to adjust to one particular niche, which keeps them from ending up like so many metal bands before them: repetitive and uninspired. 2001 was the year Opeth opened the floodgates of creativity and released what many believe to be their magnum opus, an album so hyped you might doubt its brilliance. I'm here to tell you not to doubt. This is Blackwater Park.

Well, my rating for this one is high but I do agree that Morningrise is better than this one.
Wait.... why... I'm confused. Give Morningrise a higher rating, I demand it.

That's why I hate the fact that we don't have 0.5 ratings or even better: 0,25 ratings. I would give this one 8,5 or 8,75... While Morningrise and Still Life are probably at 9,25.
I had this album with an 8 previously though... I'm still unsure whether I should change it or not.

Damn, I just can't stop listening this. Opeth's music is unique. If i would worship somebody or something. That would be Mikael Åkerfeldt.

Don't like this album much at all. Death vocals are not very good, and guitars are very flat sounding. See nothing remarkable about this album.

Really? Interesting... whose death vocals are good to you I wonder. I have always thought that Akerfeldt has some of the best growls. As far as guitar, I just disagree. I think the tone is quite balanced. I mean it's no Symphony X, but for their style quite good.

I enjoy Death vocals from bands like Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Death, Behemoth, CoB, Etc.. I like when the vocals are harsh and feel like they're ripping your face off. Opeth is just to slow and ballad-y for me, I guess. Opeth's growls are just too slow and monotonous. I can appreciate that they try very hard, I can tell they put a lot of work into it, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

This is essentially how I feel about this.

One of the criticisms is made about the akerfeldt's vocal. Be careful guys, noone wants to burn in hell
