Sometimes it's drastic; sometimes it's more subtle; yet it always happens from one album to the next. They seem to progress in many areas, and also regress in many others. This album is the definitive exception. Everything that Opeth has ever done (minus Heritage thru Sorceress) is at its best on this one album; save for the "doom and gloom" of Blackwater Park. The sound that makes up Blackwater Park (their critically acclaimed---not that their others aren't---genre defining album) all was perfected here, in the technical sense.Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse4.5 superbOpeth MorningriseOpeth In Live Concert at the Royal Albert HallOpeth The Roundhouse Tapes4.0 excellentOpeth SorceressOpeth WatershedOpeth Damnation3.5 greatOpeth HeritageOpeth DeliveranceOpeth Orchid2.5 averageOpeth Blackwater ParkOne of the strongest "average" albums there ever was. It's terrific by general standards. Most songs are monumental in the progressive metal genre overall. The problem is; by Opeth pre-Heritage standards---it's downright lazy, lackluster overall, and has zero aspirations to be anything better than its predicessor, Still Life. One could even argue Bleak is a different take on Godhead's Lament; Dirge for November is a poor man's Moonlapse Vertigo; and the Funeral Portrait was written for a change of pace for the album, much like Serenity Painted Death, but done too hammered to stand up.2.0 poorOpeth Pale Communion
