  ..immer etwas voreingenommen zu den älteren Opeth-Alben. Aber gerade Orchid muss man sich mal zu Gemüte führen. Es ist unglaublich, was diese Band fertig bringt! Hühnerhautstimmung! "Under the weeping moon", mehr muss ich nicht mehr sagen!! Absolut genial!!!

  Before I say anything, let me admit that I dont actually own this album; I burned it, so therefore I have not heard the bonus track. However, I am completely in love with every song on it, and I plan to purchase it, along with the rest of their albums which I either have burned or have already bought. Now, that that is out of the way, THIS ALBUM IS SHEER BRILLIANCE! Nothing short of genius. It all starts off with In The Mist She Was Standing, which, to be quite honest, with its use of wonderful melodies and harmonies and intricate guitar work, is my favorite song on this album. Next is Under The Weeping Moon. Great track with many acousic riffs. Kind of mysterious. After that is a track that proves that the piano is not just a classical instrument. Sillhouette is a great piano piece that absolutely sends chills down my spine to hear. Next up, Forest Of October. Another great song which has a wonderful, flowing intro. Track 5 is The Twilight Is My Robe, a wonderful song. Then comes Requiem, an awesome little instrumental (two guitars and a bass) that leaves you wanting more. The Apostle In Triumph gives you just that. It has a short intro that fades out and then out of nowhere the music starts again. The song is mostly acoustic and has a cool keyboard interlude towards the end. All in all, one of my favorite albums. Opeth is one of the best metal bands of all time, no question, and they deserve their own genre, for it pains me to see them lumped into the same general category (death metal) as bands like Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus.

  Das beste Opeth Album? Absolut genial? usw.... Habe schon bessere Interpreten gehört, welche ähnliche musik weitaus gekonnter ans Ohr bringen. Geschmacksache... Meiner Meinung nach nichts weltbewegendes, was Opeth da präsentieren.

  Wunderbare Melodien, dazu eine geballte Portion Melancholie und Genialität. Genial die Scheibe!
