I would, but I can't be bothered to change my tuning to Open D or whatever that one's in.

None of their other material (save "Ghost of Perdition" off of Ghost Reveries) really grabs me. That being said, Blackwater Park is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.

Not even "Still Life"?

I also used to be in the same boat where I felt that "Blackwater Park" was head and shoulders above the rest of their albums, (this is about 5 years ago or so, when the album came out) but at this point, I'm not so sure. Like I said before, I think Opeth really has some weak compositional skills in the sense that they rely heavily on exact repetition of riffs for which are often shoved up against other riffs without much thought to transition until you have a 13 minute song. I find that "Still Life" as well as "Ghost Reveries" suffer from this problem the least. However, I feel that the biggest problem with "Ghost Reveries" is that the keyboards sound like a total afterthought and as a result, it sounds like Opeth has made little stylistic progress. If they can combine the compositional prowess of the latest album and "Still Life" while integrating the keyboards such that it actually functions as an important part of the dynamic, I think they will have a totally amazing album.

He probably has a .... hoamie. (As opposed to Roadie, get it?)
What amazes me is that he manages to have spare time.

I'm not actually sure it is in DADGAD- I've tried tuning like the tabs suggest and playing the chords, and it doesn't sound right. I've found you can't really trust online Opeth tabs, they tend to be inaccurate rather a lot.
