I would agree. There is still plenty of a prog/death metal mix and I feel it is better than Blackwater Park. It doesn't really matter which album one goes with though, all Opeth is good

Ghost Reveries is more accessible than BWP, but I do not know if I would say it is better. To much rip offery on Ghost Reveries.

first case in point

vs.

Yeah, I think they must have been listening to some Tool while writing that album.

I'm really interested to see what your thoughts are on Opeth, hopefully all that Linkin Park you've been listening to doesn't sour you on a great band

New track.

Have you not heard Pale Communion? It's very much like their softer stuff with some heavy prog influences. It's quite good.

Love Pale Communion. Love Opeth except for the Cookie Monster stuff. Kinda glad that Akerfeldt ruined his voice and can't do it anymore.

You know Opeth have really went downhill when Chula becomes a fan.

Chula liking good music is a bad thing? I agree with him
