It's easy to simply compare this to Crosby Stills Nash and Young. And the comparison is not unfair; it's lush acoustic folk with beautiful multi-part harmonies and the CSNY influence is obvious. But that does not diminish the fact that this is an amazing and accomplished album. Many bands work a full career and never release an album this good. These guys did it right out of the gate, at a very young age to boot. It's an amazing achievement. [First added to this chart: 08/07/2014]

Opeth has always been a mix of Mikael Åkerfeldt's two musical obsessions: metal and prog rock. To my ear, their catalogue starts more metal and trends more prog, with this album being the perfect midway point. I consider this their best album in that it represents such a nice blend of both styles; it's a prog-metal masterpiece.

Favorite tracks: Heir Apparent, Porcelain Heart, Burden

This one a bit uneven and the length definitely hurts it. Patterson Hood really brought his A-game, but Mike Cooley's contributions were a bit off. You take out the six weakest tracks and you have a great collection of 13 songs. As it is, it does have a couple weak spots.

Favorites tracks: Three Dimes Down, That Man I Shot, Home Front
