"I was joking about nothing creative being done in the 60s - 80s"

I kind of suspected it, my bad Gmork sorry. I'm dumb.

And I think Meliora is still their most complete album, but this one has smth that keeps luring me to it.

Wrong album to start with. I would have started with Meliora.

Would’ve started with Opus to be honest. That’s where “hype” started for these guys. Then there’s the dip in linear quality before things started to come back

You can't go wrong if you go chronologically that's for sure.

Yeah this is their weakest imo. Pretty disappointed tbh, Pro Memoria and Helvetesfönster are among their worst songs.

Miasma, Faith, and Witch Image are the best things on here. See the Light and Rats are pretty good too.

Hopefully they go a little heavier with their next record.

Cirice isn't even top 10 Ghost for me



Square Hammer is easily my favorite, followed by Ritual, He Is, and maybe even Rats.....Satan Prayer rocks too

My first live experience was of them busting out with Square Hammer....it was loud, on point, and the crowd noise was on another level that rarely gets reached here in the states for a rock or metal show



it really was an epic moment

So am I the only one who hears "Beat It" about 4 minutes into Miasma?

Nope I even thought that when I heard it live last week.

I don't mind it though, it's a sweet riff

Nope, it's definitely there. Also the melody of Ahes is an interlude in Meliora. The ending of Faith is also Life Eternal and there is some connection between Pro Memoria and the beginning of Helvete.

infestissumam was probably the worst place to start with these guys, even if it contained the song i was most familiar with: "year zero".



that said this and meliora are probably my favorites at the moment, as i haven't spent a lot of time with opus eponymous which could probably rise with time.



for now though i'm really enjoying prequelle, particularly "rats", "faith", and "witch image". the only qualm i have at the moment is i wish they did more with "helvetesfönster" to make it stand out, considering it is the penultimate number on the album.

I appreciate the risk they took with putting 2 instrumental tracks in the album, think that alone makes me bump from 3.5 to 4
