GHOST REVERIES

THE greatest album from Opeth ever. If the band continues with this tendensy I would be more than happy. They haven't done an album of this sort, maybe ''Deliverance'' was something towards this great mood and feeling that this album gives.

''Ghost reveries'' was in fact my first album from Opeth. I read many reviews that said it to be excellent, so I got it. When I first listened to it it shocked me and I thought it was awful and funny. But still I gave it a try and let it play while I was doing other stuff. In one moment, during Atonement or Harlequin Forest I think, I could find the drumming rhythm quite interesting and enyoyable. But The Grand Conjuration spooked me out and left a feeling that this music was just rubbish. I didn't like Opeth and thought it quite weird. Still I gave it another try listening to it with more attention lieing on my sofa and not being bothered by anyone or anything else. I was simply amazed... It got me in a sort of meditative state of mind. It was nirvana. Everything about it was excellent. With more listens to it the more I found interesting, amazing details and places in the composition of this virtuoso. Listening to Opeth was a never before met experience for me. The atmosphere was incredably unique and powerful. Thoroughly enjoyable. When having it listened, I was in a calm and euphoric mood. I didn't want to move any way. Like in a strange narcose I saw the world about me. All was very clear to me.

An awsome experiance from an awsome album from an awsome band.A sort of experiance followed with every listen for two months. Even still now I find the album enjoyable and simply a masterpiece of music.

This review can seem quite funny and weird but it's all sincere. ''Ghost reveries'' is one of the albums that changed my life.

A great album and truly the most progressive one I have met.
