BLACKWATER PARK

Much like Ghost Reviveries I stand on Opeth with some resentment and hesistation to rate them because it's really awkward to describe and rate fairly such a talented band that's adopted the unique dark style of death metal. But unlike Ghost Reviveries, Blackwater Park is an easy placement for my rating. I suggest this CD more so to anyone thna I would Ghost Reviveries (I've been spelling those absolutely horribly). The Drapery Falls is by far one of thier most genious songs ever made, which is a lot coming from me sense it screams and growls about six minutes into the gloriously dark song! Plus this album has Harvest and Blackwater Park, also really good songs to listen too! Harvest being a slow lovable song that doesn't growl, yay for no growling! And ifyou want some awsome guitar work, Patterns in the Ivy is something very intersting too! Now we all know Mr. Mikael's vocal variation and that's a reason I haven't been totally obsessed wtih it, because not only does my kin not approve of this style of music, but because I can't find delight in the style of vocalization! But in anyway, unlike Ghost Reveries I have absolutely no hesitation in giving this album a 4/5 star rating. Good job Opeth, it's a great listen to the death metal lovers, and even some metal lovers. And non-metal lovers, and even prejudice-death-metal lovers, might find something good out of this brilliant muscianship work! yay for good muscisianship work! that's what makes prog, prog! yay agian for making prog prog. 4/5 for Opeth's Blackwater park with no hesitation.
