I've only heard The Grand Conjuration. I thought it was awesome, and I'm not much of an opeth fan.

Yeah it is a good song. I doubt you would like the rest of the album though. You should check out some of their heavier songs from Deliverance, I dont know if you have. If you want some, instant message me on AIM or PM me.

I keep getting Grand Conjuration and Ghost of Perdition mixed up. Either way, the latter is the better song.

Also from what I've read, they've used completely diff. tunings on this album. Like an open Dm or something like that.

Yeah, Mike said they used a different tuning and it was a challenge to write decent solos in the new tuning.

yea, its open Dm
I have formed an opinion, and as we all know, my opinion matters above all...
The album is good, but it could have been so much better. I can't help but listen to a vast majority of the album and hear things i wish were just a little different.

its like classic opeth mixed with bad keyboards...some of the songs start with so much promise and then by around 3.30 get boring as hell.
but, i think ill grow to love it because its so different to their other material. and the solos are awesome

I guess Mike got tired of the usual style, it might not be a very strong album in comparison to say, Still life or BwP, but the sound has definitly evolved. Some people are affraid it's the end of Opeth as we know it (teoOaki) but I can see a whole lot more albums comming.

Yeah your right, sounds like shit in a lot of songs.
Maybe some talented Piano wouldnt have been as bad, but its just mellotron - or what ever the fuck it is.
It just doesnt suit Opeth, but as they say 'opeth is all about change' I just think they changed too much from what made opeth great.
Its like they tried too hard to incorperate the mellotron into every song.
They still kick ass tho

yeah, definately. the new songs are growing on me. Piano would have been AWESOME on ghost reveries, thats for sure. the mellotron just sounds too mellow and crap really. but still, at least they tried to change things a bit so it wasnt just a clone of deliverance, i guess thats one way of looking at it...

There's piano on Hours of Wealth. I also love Per's work on Beneath the Mire (not referring to the intro though).
