Eh i saw it at the cd store on friday and i didnt get it, i have all of their other stuff but of the 3 or so songs ive heard on the radio it does pretty much nothing for me, i really dislike Mikael's new vocals but i may pick it up and hope that it grows on me.

Radio? You mean, internet radio or something?

Yeah, my friend/bass player has been hearing Ghost Of Peridition on the radio... it got us pretty siked.

No i mean radio radio, Triple J in Australia has a program on Tuesday nights called 'Full Metal Racket' where nothing but heavy music is played

New vocals? They seem the same to me.

...Yes I meen "radio radio" as well, a station here also has a metal show.

No the clean vocals that i have heard so far for this album are much different and to me dont sound as good as those from previous Opeth albums

Ah. You haven't heard Harlequin Forest, then.

Although I still hold that the acoustic section of "Godhead's Lament" is Mikael's best vocal work, I absolutely love Ghost Reveries.

TODAY!

YES YES YES!

I HELD OUT!

Off to buy it..........

RIGHT NOW!

Will return with my thoughts tonight!

Oh, is it released today in the UK?

Lucky bastard.

/ high 5!

I do hope they haven't sold out all copies if I arrive :(

I doubt it.

I don't think enough people know about Opeth that you'd have a mad rush for the album.

Thought I'd provide some photos of what I picked up on Thursday. The T-shirt is signed by Mikael and Peter, and the piece of paper is signed by the whole band. I met them Mikael and Peter at the Hole in the Sky festival, outside a pub and got their signatures on the shirt, and later on I met the whole band on the airport terminal so I got them to sign my ticket too:D. I haven't listened to the album yet, but I know its going to blow me away. The Grand Conjuration was fu[size=2]c[/size]king awesome live by the way.

I have a Ghost Reveries shirt signed by Mikeal, a ticket signed by the whole band, and a setlist signed by the whole band. :D

Anyways, I held out to. I get my mine tomorrow.

I've held out too and I can't wait for tomorrow.

I didn't hold out because the cd woun't be released in SA for a long time...if ever.

Ill just have to import it anyhow.

Well, I held out, and actually went into town to buy it instead of ordering. Just had my first listen.

There are some definite magic moments, but it'll take a fair few more listens for it all to sink in. First impressions indicate that it stands up there with their best work, but as yet I'm not blown away. The Baying Of The Hounds rocks like a motherf[color=white]uc[/color]ker, though.

Where in SA?

Cape Town, why?

South Africa tho right??

Well after a first listen I can say, Opeth did not dissappoint. I'm going to have to listen more before I can write a review, but my first impressions are fu[size=2]c[/size]king great. I'm loving everything, but especially all the guitar solos.

Baying of the Hounds grew on me so quickly! This song is heavy, but has great softer moments. I'm loving the permanent addition of the keyboards from Pear. Can't wait to buy this tomorrow.

His name is spelled Per...not Pear! LOL :D

But yes, TBOTH is my fav at the moment.

"His words are flies
Swarming towards the true insects
Feasting on buried dreams
And spreading decay upon your skin
His eyes spew forth a darkness
That cut through and paralyze
Casts light upon your secrets
Forced to confront your enemies"

I love that!Especially the last 2 lines.

Man, I never downloaded the leak, and it comes out tommorow. I'm going to go pick it up right after school tommorow, I can't wait.

Same here, and with my luck the store would say they get the shipment a day late :\

You wouldn't believe the horror stories I had with the NIN Cd. I having a feeling, though, that I'll be able to get it pretty easily.

Granted, Opeth are signed with Roadrunner now, and even if I don't totally like that choice, their stuff should be a little easier to find now.
