the grand hour of fame for Opeth has come with this masterpiece of immersive progressive metal [2001], erasing the boundaries between the genres with its jaw-dropping emotional as well as stylistic diversity: epic and catchy sonicscapes, vivid imagery, beautiful and sensitive poetry are juxtaposed to solid blast of metal with yet improved and wide range vocal delivery by Mikael , ending in nothing else but an essential achievement, also acting as a transitional album, leaning heavily towards mid-seventies progressive rock - remarkably fresh, convincing, revolutionary, classic and original, these are just a few of the accolades this game-changing opus has received; it was produced by sound guru Steven Wilson [Porcupine Tree], while the highlight song is The Drapery Falls
