GHOST REVERIES

Not Opeth's best album but a solid one none the less. I like to think of this as a transition album, because the addition of keyboards becoming a more relevant part of the music. Wiberg's use of keys can get a little boring over the long haul, it works well for a few songs, but overall he makes very little progress in his style throughout the album. I think Opeth has a bright future with the addition of keys to the mix though, and I think this album is how they are bridging the gap between old and new style, adding keys slowly(progressively) before they go and fully experiment further with this new style. Within the next 2 or 3 albums I think Opeth will have mastered this new style and be back atop the prog pantheon.
