Opeth is beyond all other bands, in many different ways. They're complex, yet extremely simple. There is no substitute for precision and brutal talent. Opeth have both of these things. With every album comes a new setlist of beautiful, deep, and often chilling riffs and drum beats. Not to mention Mike's outstanding vocal abilities, his voice truly is among the few that can inspire and send chilling waves down your spine. With Blackwater Park, comes all of these things, multiplied with originality, creativity of which the likes have never been seen before. Simply a brilliant piece of recorded magic, one that will live on for decades to come.
great buy. I would recomend this to anyone. This has some great tracks and the extra songs included are worth buying this album all over again as I did. I am an avid fan of metal bands and it still amazes me how talented this band truely is. If the grinding, screaming, growling metal isn't your thing, Opeth has another album out there called "Damnation". I even got this one for my mother.
This is a limited edition version of my personal favorite album by Opeth. For serious Opeth fans, this is a great collectors item to have. I love everything about it and am glad i found and bought it. It has two bonus tracks, 'Still Day Beneath The Sun,' and 'Patterns In The Ivy, Pt. 2,' and a music video of 'Harvest.' For people who aren't hardcore fans who want the true collection of Opeth though, buy the normal version anyway! Truly a masterpiece.
Heavy, heavy, heavy, dark, beautiful, wall of sound. A great place to start if you've never heard of Opeth. More growling than clean vocals on this one, but from someone who never cared for growling, the quality of Opeth's musical prowess is causing me to begin to embrace it. Once you enter Blackwater Park you won't be able to leave.
This album is technically brilliant in some areas, as well as being almost peoticly simple in others. The execution is spot on with a story of music throughout each song. Great CD to take to motorsport events when you are in a road/race car with a stereo...
