GHOST REVERIES

Great Opeth album, I give it 4 stars. First Ghost of Perdition shows the typical Opeth´s song with the diabolical Michael Akerfeldt voice and the rageous riff guitars. It´s value the rhytm changes achieved by this melodocal and rocker song. Second, The Baying of the Hounds in the same way of the first song has a powerful scream voice and a complete mixture of technical to interprete or play the music acccords and notes. Beneath the Mire has a beautiful acoustic performance of keyboard together the sadness of its lyrical voice. Atonement is an amazing bittersuite that open the door to entrance in Reverie/Harlequin Forest, for me the best song of this album, very progressive in rhytms and sounds, solid band´s amalgamate. Hours of Wealth, continue the transe to The Grand Conjuration a strong song located at the deepest Opeth´s musical roots. Finally Isolation years a short an emotional theme. i must say to every listener in this prog review that perhaps this album does not requiere any keyboardist because I think the piano and organ lost among the others instruments. It could be more intentional to project the atmospheres in all songs as now Richard Barbieri does in Porcupine tree....but "Ghost Reveries" never wil be a bad or bored album.
