Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Now just HOW GOOD is this record? I hope there are others here who have checked this out, and if not, then seriously, you've got NO IDEA what you're missing. The technical brilliance of this album, combined with its richness in variation and experimentation, really put it in quite a league of its own. Though I do understand that some might find this severely difficult listening due to the occasional cookie-monstering.
This is, incidentally, the first and only Opeth record I've ever listened to. So, can anybody school me on where to go from here? |

Ghost Reveries seems to earn a bit of unwarranted flak from some people - there are Opeth fans who don't like it that much either.
Personally, I love it. Quite a varied album with great songs the whole way through. Atonement is quite interesting. Ghost of Perdition is one of my fav Opeth songs. Where to go next? Probably Blackwater Park - that and Morningrise are my fav Opeth albums.

its not heavy, so no. the changes are predictable, the riffs are uninspired... its BORING.
