I've always enjoyed Opeth for there creative albums. Love this song
AGREED ! 62 minutes of pure bliss is what Still Life is. As a individual song, i like Blackwater Park and Bleak the most but as a whole album Still Life is best.Still Life is an album I would consider a perfect score

That's my favorite Opeth album, I truly wish Akerfeldt would sing normally, he's got a great voice for straight up hard rock or heavy metal.
Descriptions have me intrigued for new album. I never got around to liking Heritage, it was just too soulless and boring. So hopefully this album will be much betterI'd say this record is either the missing link between Damnation and Ghost Reveries or if Heritage was written directly after Ghost Reveries without Watershed having ever existed. You get the idea.
I think their first two albums had a more black metal feel. Also, Mikie's voice was much more black metal on their first two than on their later albums. But personally I wouldn't label them as black metal.I never understood why people keep calling Opeth solely a progressive death metal band. No they are not in fact they have drawn influences from black metal as well. They are a progressive band with influences of black metal music and death growls which actually sound more like something you would hear in a black metal band. Never seen a band put prog with black and death metal as great as they did.
