;digging The Baying of the Hounds atm. The crazy dissonant riffs leading into the calm passage are just awesome. BAM!

The clean passage is too long in that song though. Rest of Baying is sweet, though.

nah, this section fits just perfectly with Mendez' cool basslines syncopating with Lopez.

I was talking about the part where Mendez just plays one note for like a really long time. That part gets pretty boring.

This album introduced me to Opeth, and it's one of my favorites by them, for that reason amongst many others.

i picked this up today on an impulse buy (id heard their name alot) and i must say having listened to it 3 times already, i fuckin love it. great album
and yeah im tired of those kids too:
metal-observer.com:"Genre: Progressive Death Metal"
progreviews.com: "Ghost Reveries is unquestionably death metal"
popmatters.com: "One of the most daring bands death metal has ever seen"
www.revelationz.net: "Not many drummers can do that when playing atmospheric and gloomy death metal"
uraniummusic.com: "perhaps a first for an underground and/or death metal band"
ministry-of-information.co.uk: "I'd better mention immediately that that Opeth are a credible death metal band"
www.decoymusic.com: "it was a soaring and powerful romance between heavy death metal and melodic folk inspirations"
kids these days...... :P

Very true that they aren't a death metal band, but the reason a lot of people say they are is because there is death metal thrown into the mix of what we know as Opeth.

But they are death metal. They aren't solely a death metal band, but still.
|
| |
They have just as much other influence as death metal, so it's not fair to call them a death metal band. Calling them a Progressive band is the best option, IMO.

Yeah, but when most think of progressive bands, porcupine tree, or even pink floyd probably come to mind. Despite some similarities shared between Opeth and them, their overall sound is very different. I dont know, Opeth really doesnt have a true genre. Their not all prog, nor are they all death metal. I usually result to calling them progressive death metal, but does it really matter?

Opeth are heavily inspired by bands like Death and Morbid Angel; not enough to just label them death metal but I'd agree if they were considered a synthesis of death metal, progressive and other influences.

Progressive Death Metal is what most are calling them and this is about right.

Im still lovin this. May up the rating a bit, its only getting better with each listen. I dont know what it is about Isolation Years but I find myself playing it a lot, the vocals and harmonized guitars complement eachother perfectly. And as I said up a bit, Reverie/Harlequin Forest is too good for words.
|
| |
I love Isolation Years, it's a great way to end the album.
