Have you ever been in love with an IBM?
Wow, I don't think I have ever heard a pop album like this. I found this for 99 cents at a vinyl exchange and bought it upon recommendation from my best friend who is a massive ELO fan. Basically what makes this album unique is that is a concept album that feels like a rock album. I have heard albums that have the same vibe and feel those only being the Crimson albums(both being 5's for me).
This record has about a dozen songs(15 digitally I believe) that are very short but at the same time important to the album making it one big classic song in my opinion.
Within the genre: 5/5
Outside: 4.5
Yours Truly, 2095.

Finally musical perfection!
I never thought I would find brutal vocals and melodic passages in the same album. The acoustic and nylon playing in this masterpiece is amazing from Lindgren and Akerfeldt. In Still Life I can hear more melody than technicalities. Overall the best track I have heard from Opeth, Godhead's Lament, Is what this band and album represents.
What really opens my eyes to Still Life is that Mikael and Peter don't recycle riffs and leads while showing different structures.
Of course I must mention the jazz-like drumming of Martin Lopez and the smooth bass playing of Martin Mendez. Martin Mendez plays with both the guitars and drums when plays which is something that shows his creativity. Martin Lopez isn't like Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, He can give superb rolls and tom hits and still keep an odd/and simple beat.
