Ghost Reveries by Opeth

Pros: Objective proof of God (and Satan)
Cons: It inspires over-the-top reviews from over-the-top people (like myself)

What makes metal metal? Is it the artillery barrage of it’s drums? Is it the primal riffs that assure mutual and total destruction for all involved parties? Is it the ominous and bleak prophetics, the lyrics of black poetry that gives ...

Pros: perhaps more technical and fluid than ever before...
Cons: and no, I’m not trying to con you...

I think Ghost Reveries sounds very much like any other Opeth album, perhaps closer in spirit to Still Life and Deliverance, but you’ll also find that the band sounds and feels rejuvenated and that they’ve injected a ...

Pros: Diverse music, amazing vocals; it's another Opeth album!
Cons: Honestly, there aren't any.

“Opeth has doen it again.” For those familiar with their music, this phrase speaks millions about Opeth's latest album, Ghost Reveries. Everyone else may still be left wondering: “Just what have they done?” Well, I'll tell you. Opeth has ...

Pros: Mikael's diversity in vocals and everything else.
Cons: NEVER!!!

A lot of the metal today is wonderful. Keeping that in mind, I've noticed a few things about Scandinavian bands. It seems as if death metal/black metal bands from Sweden, Norway, Finland, have shown us how talented they are. I personally think that ...

Pros: One of the best releases of this year.
Cons: Some may not like this new direction

It's been 10 years now since Opeth released Orchid. Little did this little band from Sweden know back then, that in 10 years, they would become one of the most respected, and largest metal bands ever. This has been due to consistent, and strong albums ...

Pros: Everything. Only two relatively weak tracks blemish the album.
Cons: I can't really find any cons right now... I'd have to spin it more.

"So I picked up the new Opeth album the other day and guess what - it's great! Beneath the Mire is such a great song, and I could just headbang for hours and hours to The Grand Conjuration and Isolation Years is beautiful and Ghost of Perdition is so ...

Pros: It's an Opeth album. That's all I really need to say.
Cons: I dunno... it's not Still Life?

As everyone ought to know by now, Opeth is the greatest band in the entire history of any genre, ever. As such, giving any of their albums anything less than five stars is an offence punishable by an untimely smiting from the gods of metal. This is why I ...

Pros: The Opeth sound is there, what else do you need?
Cons: The album has several weak moments...

Opeth are now one of metal's most respected and unique bands, but if one was to listen to all of their albums, you realise they always would have been, had they been recognised earlier. Although Opeth shot to world recognition when ...

Pros: Vocals, drummer, and guitars.
Cons: Not enough Death grunts.

I love this CD, it has everything from the beautiful riffs, to the powerful double bass drum set. This is also the last album for a long while where Martin Lopez will be a drummer, as he was diagnosed with a rare blood disease. We all hope you get ...
