    This was the first album I heard from the group. The opening track is brutal, and one of their most played live songs. This song also has a lot of parts, but always remaining fixed at the same end goal. And when that end solo kicks in..:D Bleak was one of the first Opeth songs I heard, with really great growls in the start. What surprised my was the great singing of the clean parts. Following up is “Harvest”, which was a surprise. Very nice song about departing this world into something else maybe. “The Drapery Falls” was the first song I ever heard from the group. The only song from them which I recieved from a friend along with much other metal stuff. It still remains one of my favourites to this day, because of its haunting atmosphere. The slides when the verse is sung is very unsettling. And the breakdown is always a great listen. Now if I could only learn to play this, it’s so damn hard....:( After this comes Dirge for November which manages to set me off with its sad vocals, and that solo which lasts forever after the first verse. And when the hard stuff kicks in, I’m at a loss for words... The next out, “The Funeral Portrait” is a very god track also. Lot of hard riffs, and great growls:D “Patterns in the Ivy” serves as an arch into the final track, “Blackwater Park”. One of the hardest tracks they have made, also with great acoustic soloing:) I could hear that part forever....
