I was surprised how different this album was from most Opeth albums, as all the songs were slow-tempo and there weren't any screams or grunts. But nonetheless, this was still a great album. 9 stars.

Being a huge prog rock nerd, I fell in love with this amazing album upon first listen. Windowpane is one of the greatest songs ever, I love listening to this song when I'm on a nice long road trip staring out my window (no pun intended).

This album is close enough to perfection! Every note, every tone of voice...it's just amazing! Such a nice epic!  And it's a lovely one indeed! I love it a lot! Specially "Hope Leaves", "In My Time Of Need" and "To Rid The Disease"!

Very good album, though there isn't much variety to be found with all songs having the same style. Unfortunately it's my least favourite album except for Heritage, simply because I'm not overly fond of its style. Windowpane is the best track for sure, it's simply brilliant.

Closure is definitely my favorite song on this album. It's also the first song I've ever heard from Opeth, and it's what got me listening to the rest of their material. The abrupt ending is awesome, and what it represents is equally awesome. Sometimes you lose things or people close to you. Sometimes it's hard to recover from the shock of a sudden loss.
Sometimes you just don't get closure.

Damnation is more a progressive rock than metal album, but its still Opeth. The songs are beautiful as always!:bow:

Some people will always have a problem with this album. IMO clean parts have always been a very big and very important part of opeth's sound and dedicating a whole album to let this side of them develop fully is a good thing. If its not your cup of tea they have plenty of heavier albums but i think its nice to have such a varied discography. At the end of the day even if it isnt a "true opeth album" its still a very good album.

I like the dark atmosphere on this album. Akerfeldt's clean vocals sound much better when they're restrained in that lower and softer style. He should stick to that, because it really works for him given the depth of his voice. Unfortunately he likes to try out his range and that's where it becomes a challenge for me to keep listening.
The music is nice though, although not because it's more extreme. This is a really mellow and subdued album, but it's a sound they pull off well. It reminds me at times of Green Carnation's Acoustic Verses, and that's not a bad thing.

What was people reation back then when it was out? Bands last 2 albums most fans was fade up and disappointed
how was then?
I enjoy it a lot --- Window pain, In My Time Of Need are great songs, Åkerfeld's clean vocals are great, emotions and so on, it works, he should re cord something whit clean vox and same extreme prog sound as in first two albums, it would be great.
I like this album, my 3th fav from this band , I don't care what fan boys and fan girls say, good album , I enjoy it

A solo 60 seconds into the album what is this nonsense?! Opeth fans must have been in a state of rapture during this period. Three high quality albums in a span of two years. This one has a ghostly, sombre beauty that envelops you in its misty haze. Windowpane is such a perfect driving song and closure is one of the more unique songs I've heard.

Cannot agree more! Such beauty in this album. If only Opeth could stay with this path.
