At each of these 6 concerts, Opeth will play 2 sets. One or the group will take over in full the cultissim “Blackwater Park” the other set being a best of flying over all of their proli.. that career. The opportunity to stand out this legendary limited edition album. Review: A Masterpiece! - I first came across Opeth on a recommendation from a former roommate. The album was "Damnation," and I found myself enthralled with a sound that I was looking for in a band. However, as any Opeth fan knows, "Damnation" was a special event: it was a mellow, cleanly sung, almost entirely clean channel album put out by a death metal band. The first "metal" Opeth album I heard was "Blackwater Park," and it hooked me right away. One song in particular, "The Drapery Falls" really drew me in with its semi-psychedelic feel. This was the first album that Opeth worked on with Porcupine Tree's Steve Wilson, and if you are familiar with Porcupine Tree's approach/production, it seems more apparent in this album than in the others (which isn't a bad thing at all). If you love progressive music and songs that cover vast musical terrain (essential view music as a journey rather than easy consumption), then "Blackwater Park" should be right up your alley. As for the Legacy Edition, I placed the order for it the day it became available and received it almost two weeks ago. The 5.0 mix is a real treat to listen to (as it was for "Still Life" and "Ghost Reveries"). I found that the 5.0 really brought out the bass quite nicely. The liner notes have some additional artwork (very cool) as well as an introduction to the album written by Mike Ackerfeldt that sheds some very cool light on where Opeth was at the junction and the humor and easygoing nature of Mike really comes out (it would be great to kick back some beers with him with Camel playing in the background...) The second disc also has a documentary that was filmed during the recording of the album that is quite enjoyable as well. Opeth is a band that works its tail off, and the hard work definitely shows. If you like Opeth but haven't yet purchased "Blackwater Park," just go for the Legacy Edition. If you've already purchased the album in past, I would recommend checking it out for the 5.0 mix (depending on how much extra cash you have to throw around on import special edition CDs, that is). In sum, a masterful work deserving of a re-release that has left me very satisfied. Review: Fantstic album from Opeth - Blackwater Park is the fifth studio album by Swedish progressive death metal band Opeth. It was released on 27th February 2001 through Music for Nations and Koch Records. This was the first Opeth album to be released in North America at the same time as it was in the rest of the world. It has been released on compact disc and vinyl record formats. A special edition of Blackwater Park was issued in 2001 with a bonus second disc that included "Still Day Beneath the Sun" and "Patterns in the Ivy II". Those two bonus tracks were released together as a vinyl-only 7" EP by Robotic Empire Records in February 2003. The limited edition EP sold out in less than 24 hours and continues to be one of Opeth's most sought-after releases to date. Two singles were also released to promote Blackwater Park. A shortened radio edit version of "The Drapery Falls" was released as a promo single (the full-length album version is nearly 11 minutes long). The bonus track "Still Day Beneath the Sun" was later released as a vinyl only single. The album marks the first collaboration between Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson and the band, as Wilson had been brought in to produce the album, which led to a considerable shift in Opeth's musical style. Blackwater Park did not chart in North America or the United Kingdom. The album had two singles released from it: "The Drapery Falls" and "Still Day Beneath the Sun". Blackwater Park was highly acclaimed on its initial release and has been praised by critics, with Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic stating that the album is "surely the band's coming-of-age album, and therefore, an ideal introduction to its remarkable body of work". Opeth entered to Studio Fredman to begin work on Blackwater Park on 10th August 2000. The band had no previous lyrics written and had only rehearsed three times before entering the studio. The band's engineer Fredrik Nordström had arranged for the group to stay in a small room in the studio that had four beds. Opeth stayed there for around two weeks and then later rented out Dark Tranquillity member Mikael Stanne's flat. After recording the basic drums, rhythms, bass and acoustic guitars, Wilson arrived to produce the clean vocals and add some guitar leads. Åkerfeldt wrote that Wilson had an "immense impact on the recording" and after working with him the group entered "a new phase". Blackwater Park is yet another excellent album by Opeth - did you know that they named this album and a couple of their other albums (My Arms, Your Hearse and Still Life) after progressive rock bands from the 1970s? Anyway, this album is another masterpiece and is very highly recommended, particularly because of its 12-minute title track "Blackwater Park" and the acoustic piece "Harvest" (to be fair, all of the tracks on this album are great so it's difficult to choose a favourite). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B000FGGERM | | Date First Available | February 12, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | CDMFN264 | | Label | Sony Music Canada Inc. | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Sony Music Canada Inc. | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2011 | | Product Dimensions | 5.58 x 0.38 x 5.03 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Run Time | 1 hour and 7 minutes | ## Images ![Blackwater Park - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715r+WGbbbL.jpg) ![Blackwater Park - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rM8AgwdUL.jpg) ![Blackwater Park - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61URCIvUBmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Masterpiece! *by B***R on 23 April 2010* I first came across Opeth on a recommendation from a former roommate.
