I was thinking the same thing when I started it up Even my least favourite track (Moonlaspe Vertigo) is absolutely brilliant. Really fantastic album, easy 5* when I get around to reviewing it. The outro to White Cluster half-tempts me to start up the album again after I finish it every time

My favourite thing about the disc is how it perfectly blends the tech parts into the acoustic sections. I haven't heard any other album that so perfectly blends metal into folk. The playing is all brilliant too.

Bought it when I was 19 and still love this album. I have always listened to country as long as I have been hearing rock. It was always played in my house in the 60's when I was a kid and for me I Can't Stop Loving You and He'll Have to Go, Pub With No Beer are just as good as Jumpin' Jack Flash when the mood gets me

Another band that blends death metal (more post-metal in this case) with acoustic folk is Agalloch. They're one of the most underrated bands on the site.Oh, and if you don't have every Opeth album you're missing out on extremely awesome music

I've got all of their albums and both DVD's now
I was going to order Ashes Against The Grain, but I wasn't really impressed by the Agalloch samples I heard.

Can't decide if this is my favourite PT album or FOABP

What does it sound like ? In fact, as I mentioned previously we don't have an exhaustive knowledge of all records released on our planet.

I think Chris is amazing...he is from New Orleans and as most native artists there started playing early, like at 11 or so. He went to Berklee, recorded a few albums (this is his best one IMO). Since this one he has been doing more group work with other New Orleans jazz ensembles.
