For me this is the greatest Opeth-album! Although not heard all their growl-albums, Ghost Reviers and this are the only ones before Heritage.

No one should ever be embarrassed by any kind of music they enjoy.

4. Guapo - Elixers
5. Shadow Circus - Whispers and Screams 

Tio Bitar would rank in my top 20, but I chose Ta Det Lugnt! 4 is also really great too.

I love them all actually.. by far my favorite modern prog group...but Tio Bitar was my gateway into them.. and is still my favorite.. one of favorite night and day.. light and dark albums. It hits my multiple musical G-spots with all the length and girth they deserve. God almighty does it flat out rock at times.. yet with the next song you would get this absolutely gorgeous melodic piece.  Doesn't hurt it probably has the only modern entry on my 'greatest blow thy speakers' ever recorded list.  At #8

there simply were so many great albums.. in fact.. one might argue..  more than one had the 70's. There was a reason the prog revival really hit and sites like this blossomed..  there was SO MUCH great music for us to discover.. and of such expanded and different styles from all over the f**king world man

it rips.. it smokes .. it rules.. almost as much as Reine's hair does..LOL

what make that album so great..  hell all of them is the diversity in them.  They do have a couple of songs per album that Reine self immolates.. but they are balanced with some really folky melodic and at times.. I dare say.. flat out beautiful stuff.

this is another major fav of mine..
