this would probably be a 5/5 if the grand conjuration would actually be a good song

Grand Conjuration puts me to sleep agreed



Also the fact that the first 2/3 of this is a concept album and the last 1/3 isn't irks me a lot

Grand Conjuration is amazing though

Also your fractions need some work there

Grand Conjuration is long-winded sure, but each instrumental section it has is amazing. The edited version actually keeps those intact while cutting the time in half iirc

@Scream I'm pretty sure tracks 1-5 are all concept album and then 6-8 aren't. Seeing as the first 5 tracks have a longer average length than the last 3, I'd say my estimation is pretty close.



Grand Conjuration would be fine if it were half the length. It's so repetitive and the material just doesn't merit a 10 minute runtime.

never had a problem with that song. it gets repetitive at the end, but I really enjoy that groove so it's cool.

afaik the only track that isn't related to the concept is Isolation Years

Hours of Wealth is a masterpiece. One of my favourites here. The structure is unusual but it has such a poetic beauty to it.

The transition from Hours to Grand Conjuration is so great

After getting lulled by the calm beautiful Hours you're met with that sudden, loud and foreboding opening riff. I love that moment during the album.

I almost agree with you Flug, move 1 to 3 (bumping 2 and 3 up) and you basically got my list.

That one is my fav tbh, but it was the song that got me into Opeth so I might be biased. It's tied with Ghost of Perdition at least.
