Words cannot describe how utterly beautiful this album is. I had never heard anything by Opeth before, so I decided to download Damnation. From the very first track, it's one of the most beautiful albums ever recorded. I've never heard anything like this album before. It's absolutely amazing. Odaton will be able to tell you a lot more about it than I can. I'm not that good at reviewing things. But I do recommend that you all check this album out. It's completely acoustic (even though it still has drums and bass). It's outstanding. Definitely one of the best of 2003.
Dude. Close your eyes and picture what he's saying. I imagine a dark and snowy place. Because I'm cool like that. Death Whispered A Lullaby = Best Track Ever
LOL @ Kim (Magick)! Yeah, I'm glad that you love Damnation! Such a beautiful, relaxing album! Try their other stuff, which is heavier and see if you like it! THis was #3 on my top 10 of 2003. This is VERY highly recommended by me! EDIT: Heres the review that I made, I review at Amazon.com: Review: Opeth's Damnation (And others) Yeah, I'm MetalReviewer!
