PALE COMMUNION

Pale Communion is probably the best Opeth album of the second era (their progressive rock era). Very consistent and with no weak tracks. Eternal Rains Will Come is an amazingly beautiful track with a wonderful chorus. Cusp Of Eternity has middle-east influences. Moon Above, Sun Below is one monster of a track! It has an amazing chorus and the ending is very beautiful. Goblin is a fun instrumental. Elysian Woes is kinda boring but still a nice break. River has an awesome instrumental section and a great beginning section. Voice Of Treason has a very suspenseful beginning, only to continue with a great chorus. Faith In Others has a beautiful main melody and closes the album very well. If you want to be introduced to Opeth's second era in the best way possible, you need to start with this one. Four Stars!
