What a change!!!

Its actually incredible how Opeth is able to turn off the grind and pick up the acoustic, erase half of what their sound normally is, and still make it incredibly listenable.

Darkness is still the obvious theme of their music, all 40 minutes of this album is damming in its sound. Such beautiful and flawless musicianship is treated with dark and lonely lyrics. Its a contradiction that no other band will convince you of.

Deah Whispered a Lullaby is the stand-out track on this album. Its epic on its own terms and sweeps me away with each listen.

I don't think it quite measures up to some of their other albums (Orchid, Blackwater Park), but its a decent change and definately allows people who are not accustomed to the growl vocals to enjoy a truely talented group.
