Ghost Reveries

Verdicts? Comments?

I have to wait another day to get and hear it 😒

Muahahaha.

Shut. Up.

Possibly the most outstanding album I've ever heard in my life.

Too incredible.

Not helping any......

Hmmm....I wonder how many music stores will be open at 8:30 am tomorrow morning.

Haven't got it yet, I'm ashamed to say, being that I'm known to many as their biggest fan. Definitely be picking it up tomorrow.

Picking it up tomorrow probably in the afternoon unless my local Tower opens earlier than 10:00.

Damn you Brits are lucky bastards...

Yeah, well lucky we are.

'When does Ghost Reveries come out?'

-Monday

'No fair, it comes out Tuesday here. At least I can go watch 'X', it's in the cinemas from Friday. When it out over there?'

-2010.

Exactly.

Hellboy came out in April 04, we didn't get it till mid September I believe.

Wow, that's sucky.

Well I'm going to try and pick up Ghost Reveries on my way to school tomorrow, though it's doubtful anything will be open at 8:30 am. If that doesn't work, I'll try and get it on my way home.

Well boring this forum.

Might go see what CDs are on my iTunes under the O section, under Opeth.

Hah. Hah. Hah.

Damnit, this album is good. There's some tracks on there that could have fit on Damnation 😘 but the good definitely outweighs the bad. I'm actually liking this one as much as My Arms, Your Hearse.

Favorite track is Beneath the Mire. Love that intro.

Why Damnation with a sick face? That album is incredible.

There's nothing really "bad" about Ghost Reveries or any Opeth album.

Damnation is amazing.

Your opinion and mine.

Damnation was nothing compared to their other releases. It lacked all the feeling and enjoyment in all the other Opeth albums. The only good track was Windowpane. One of the worst parts was the lack of Mike's death growl vocals.

Ghost Reveries had some weak tracks that seemed like they were directly from Damnation.

Well they're not weak tracks, nor is Damnation a weak album.

It's one of their best, if we're classifying.

This is false though. Firstly, to claim Windowpane is the only "good" track is unbelievably ignorant.

The whole purpose of that album was that it was the mellow album to compare with Deliverance. Damnation/Deliverance.

I guess if you're massively into the death growl style, there are more appropriate bands.

That's not the whole problem though. Opeth is a metal band.

Key element of metal? Distorted guitars. One of the most defining aspects of the genre. No distorted guitars here on Damnation.

Some of the solos were excellent, but the only track I found worth the listen was Windowpane.

Seriously, this album is more of a folk album than a metal album. You may be fine with that, but it disgusts me to see one of my favorite bands do something like this.
