BLACKWATER PARK

The Leper Affinity is a good track, but no where reaches what they have done in the past. 3/5 Stars

Bleak is a really good song, but doesn't really develop into anything phenomenal. 4/5 Stars

Harvest sounds a bit like Porcupine Tree, but it still is Opeth, and they did a good job with this song. Clean vocals, clean guitars, and a great melody. 4/5 Stars

The Drapery Falls is good, but it's not their best. 3/5 Stars.

Drige for November is basically straight forward Death Metal, Opeth could've done something better. 3/5 Stars

The Funeral Portrait turns into melodic Death Metal, but not Progressive Death Metal, a bit better than Drige for November, but still 3/5 stars.

Patterns in the Ivy...Why? It didn't develop into anything, it's kind of like Reqium, but except this time they have a piano. 3/5 Stars only because it's not horrible.

Blackwater Park is my favorite song off of this album, it's very melodic and heavy, perhaps the best out of the whole album. 4/5 Stars. The whole song has only Death Metal Growls...

Again, check out Still Life. Nothing really astounding here, it was a bit of a safe album for them to make and it did carry through as their most popular album.
