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.
EDIT: Going to leave this as a 1 for now. I cant believe this is rated as the #1 album on Metal Storm. Its has a few songs with good points but really? Things like The Drapery Falls with long repetitive droning intros get boring very fast. Overall the songs have little diversity, and have way to much filler. When the average song is 10+ minutes on an album, it gets to a point where all interest is lost in the song, and you are waiting for a break from monotony. Maybe the first time it is unique, but am I going to spend 3 hours to listen to one damn album, full of filler? Fuck no.
9/10 For the effort, great experimental album.
5/10 For lack of originality, to much over-used droning.

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

If I want pure and unadulterated passion, I would listen Morningrise.

The best Opeth album, closely followed by Deliverance and the first couple of albums. Few death metal songs create goosebumps like the title track.

It's an alright album. Wouldn't call it anything special though...
I definitely prefer Ghost Reveries.

Probably the only album worthy of a 10 on the top 200 list outside of perhaps Ashes Against the Grain.

I just now see that someone called this album "droning" and unoriginal. what's wrong with people these days. And, although I know that it's up to personal opinions, how could someone bash MA's growls and at the same time praise vocals of Amon Amarth, Death and CoB at the same time is beyond me

Very Addictive Album. This was my first opeth album. And i wont lie, i took some time to get along with it. But eventually it stuck so well in my brain, i couldn't stop humming to every song of this album. Great vocals by mikeal akerfeldt, Sometimes astonishingly beautiful and other time brutal growls, Catchy riffs. And most importantly Dark but beautiful atmospheric music.:banger:

Bits of it do drone on and on as do most Opeth albums. I think some of their songs would be better as 3-4 minute ones.
But for the most part Blackwater Park is a good album, albeit over rated.
Akerfeldt's growls are superb though. I don't know why anyone would criticise them.

I think the clean-harsh ratio is fine. Akerfeldt has got a great growl.

I like his growls too,but I think clean vocals would be better at some point than growls in this album.

This whole album is like a dream. And when that final outro hits you.....it's like a year long grip, that finally releases. All the tension, emotions that carried darkness and disgust. A lamentation in the perspective of our world. Truth, that will forever echo in the name of this album.
The sun sets forever over Blackwater Park \m/

Stonewall classic. Opeth at its best, highly original, brilliantly executed. I'm no fan of where Akerfeld has taken the band since, but no matter, this album is a wonderful work of art.

Even tho I am a big fan of Porcupine Tree, I don't like the touch of Steven Wilson on this album.
So, I just give it a 9 (yes, is an Opeth album, fucking awesome anyway).
I just can't get tired of Dirge for November, so fucking depressing!
