I'll try and pick this up sometime this weekend (busy as all hell). If I'm lucky, this will unseat Blackwater Park as their masterpiece. I still listen to that CD at least once a week.
 
Of course I bought it yesterday. Like all Opeth albums with an initial listening, I'm not feeling this one. Opeth always grows on me though. I do like it better than both Deliverance and Damnation. I think all the other ones are better than this one.

Still, buy it.
 
Alright, I haven't had a chance to soak it all in ... but at first listen? No less than I would expect from them. It's fucking amazing.

Also, I'm seeing them on Oct. 28th in TO, can't wait.
 
Been listening to it for a great long time. A GREAT long time. Like, 3 weeks long time.

Yes, it is better than Blackwater Park. The Baying of the Hounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah, this is probably gonna top my favorites list as well, and this has been a year littered with great metal releases. The mealy-mouthed "tr00" asshats can gobble knob. Opeth fucking rule.

I strongly disagree, but then again we probably have completely different tastes in music :)
 
I downloaded "Isolation Years" last week because I had bookmarked this thread for a while and decided to check them out. I love this song. Thank you.
 
If you loved Blackwater Park for the sheer amount of acoustic-ness in the album, then you might not like Ghost Reveries as much. It isn't nearly as acoustic as Blackwater Park. It does have more clean vocals, though. In general, the album is more aggressive.
 
I've listened to this album a dozen times and Blackwater it ain't. Blackwater still holds the crown. Better than Deliverance but not better than their others.

Blackwater Park
My Arms, Your Hearse
Orchid
Damnation
Ghost Reveries
Deliverance

You forgot:

Morningrise ("Black Rose Immortal" and "To Bid You Farewell" are amazing)
Still Life ("Godhead's Lament," "Benighted," and "Face of Melinda" are also amazing)
