This is just straight up brutal and evil. Doesn't need to be pretty when this is full of killer riffs and fantastic atmosphere as well as arguably Opeth's tightest songwriting.

I pretty much agree with Motiv.

Album Rating: 4.5

i agree with motiv except on the songwriting part, which would be topped on the following 2 imo

Songwriting is far superior on here than on any album after this (or before).

Which is why I said arguably ;).

Album Rating: 4.5

fair enough

Well I think we know where each of us stand so...

Currently listening to Morningrise atm .

Yeah this is opeth at their most evil and darkest

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah, Morningrise is an enormous 5.

Album Rating: 4.0

@JT No obviously music doesn't has to do anything. I'm just comparing it to other Opeth I like which does groove and is pretty at times.

Album Rating: 4.0

Holy crap this is so good how did I not check this before

I was under the impression everyone checked Opeth within the first 6 months of joining this site

Album Rating: 4.0

I've heard plenty of Opeth but not this one

Yeah but its just strange you havent heard them all and you've been here for 2 years. They're one of
those bands you find out about almost instantly

Album Rating: 4.0

i rarely ever check entire discogs unless I have one of the band's albums 5'd



and I didn't really love Opeth like everyone else until about 2 weeks ago

Album Rating: 3.5

Don't worry bro, took ages for me to get into them cos my dad used to blast BWP in the car when I was like 12

Album Rating: 4.0

your dad rocks

Album Rating: 3.5

well he introduced me to PT and DT all those years ago but Opeth isn't exactly for 11/12 year old. I remember hearing Bleak and he told me it's the man from Porcupine tree though, so nice memories there

Album avg is 4.2.
