One of Opeth's best. Beautiful opener and an overall creative and very well-written album. A thousand times better than their last album (Ghost Reveries), which was a junker. My only complaint is with "The Lotus Eater" because the beginning few minutes are basically ripped straight from Textures' style, but then the song completely redeems itself by the end with really creative structuring and riffs.

Opeth - Blackwater Park [2001]
Starts off strong with first track. Second track is beautiful. Of course, this album is in classic Opeth style. Not much in the way of creativity, but they haven't seemed to exhaust the amount of songs that can be written in this style. So, it's not old-hat yet.

Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse [1998]
Great songwriting throughout the album. One of the few Opeth albums that is a joy to listen to with each song. The production obviously isn't quite as good as the later albums, but the songwriting and excellent execution certainly makes up for it. Definitely one of my favorite albums by them.
