The strange thing about this album that until sometime i thought it was the worst album by Opeth.. listening to it further more made me realize it was the point where they manged to make the perfect sound of prog death metal and still music mean something to u and the feelings here are intensed ....an important thing that Opeth newer albums lacked of.. and i think credence is the best acoustic track Opeth played...if it isn't the only one

"Demon of the Fall" is my favorite song from this album.

This is a great album. Like it's younger, more popular brother, Still Life, it is a concept album. To really appreciate it you've got to read along with the music as it tells a story and there are lyrics even for the instrumental tracks (which I think is a great idea). Also, the name of each track is the last word of the lyrics for the previous track.
Probably the only major downfall is the sub-par production, but overall the writting, performance and composition of the album are, well ... Operfect!

Guys for you who own this album, do you recommend for to get the album version of it (stand-alone CD) or to get it part of the Candlelight Years collection? I'm picky about the art-work, lyrics, linear notes and stuff like that and I was afraid the box-set could have any of that stuff missing. So if you have an idea I'd appreciate to know, thanks.

I bought the Collector's Edition Slipcase and it was basically just a box of the original albums, nothing additional. Chances are it's the same with the Candlelight box set.

Thanks Troy, I'm getting the individual albums

Ahhhh what a masterpiece! Probably their "artsiest" album of all, I like how the last couple words of a track is the title of the upcoming song.
It's way better than the previous "Morningrise" album, no doubt!

Though not quite their best, this album impresses me a lot, even having listened to it for the last five years. But the way each and every song flows into the next, it really makes the album as a whole well structured. Oh, and 'When' is an epic among epics.

For a while this has been my favorite album by the band. While my views on it may have changed, it will forever remain a powerful album that shows once again what Opeth is made of.

Newfound appreciation for this album. The majestic lyrics... I am not the one to be nitpicky on lyrical content generally, but this one... pure magic.

I agree, it's great but definitely not their best. And you do know why the order of the tracks is the way it is, right?

Yeah, I know now. It still works pretty damn well too.

This is my favourite Opeth release because not only does it have the best riffs, there is minimal repetition and more rapid progression. It seems more focused then most of their other albums.
