Fairly self-explanatory in and of itself. I get the distinct feeling this album will be considered a masterpiece of the decade for many years to come. What song best contributes to that, in your opinion?

Title track is overrated. I vote Bleak, slightly ahead of The Drapery Falls.

Harvest is such a beautiful song. Although, I love every tack, so I can't really pick a favorite. Blackwater Park is completely Exclamation

Bleak is pretty damn awesome.  I could have easily gone with that.

I adore the guitar riff that kicks in at about 20 seconds in to that song. Probably one of the coolest sounding ones of all time.

Tough choice between Harvest and The Drapery Falls but I'l go for Harvest. It, along with Windowpane, was what got me into Opeth in the first place.

First (and likely only) vote for Patterns In The Ivy!

Though, it is an excellent album.

I'll go with the title track. But I could have easily voted one of the first 4 tracks too.
