Ghost Reveries

For the longest time, I thought Blackwater Park was their best offering. But, the more I listen to tracks such as Ghost of Perdition and Reverie/Harlequin Forest I become convinced that Ghost Reveries is in fact Opeth’s best album.

Opeth is, and have been for quite some time, one of my favorite bands. Trying to explain Opeth’s music to people is difficult. The instant you say “death metal” a vast majority of people turn off any interest they may have had. They really do defy classification. They certainly do do death metal, but they do so much more, and they do it all stunningly well.
