Title: Acoustic work of art
Review: The beauty of Opeth lies in the band's ability to conquer many different styles of music. This album, while it lacks the variety of their older releases, maintains a constant flow of mellow songs that prove to listeners that Opeth can master these as well as they can master the heavier material. The first track, "Windowpane," is the best (in my humble opinion) and is one of my favorite Opeth songs to date. "To Rid The Disease" is another good song. In all honesty, they're all good songs, but those two stand out to me. If you're looking for anything heavy, then this is not the album for you, as the vocals are all clean and the heaviest parts are about as heavy as what you'd find on a Genesis album. But if you need a nice long break from the maelstrom of metal, then this album is definitely for you. Nothing extreme, but nevertheless, Damnation is pure musical mastery.
