Absolutely. I was big into metal when I was like 18 but for the past 6 years or so I have moved on to many other genres and wouldn’t really call myself a metalhead anymore, but still to me Blackwater Park is definitely one of those few records that is just undeniably one of the all time greats across any genre.

" What the hell did you send me??" The second listen made me a fan. I even have their logo tattooed on my forearm. My friend passed almost two years ago, but he will never be forgotten and is very much missed. I think of him every time I listen to Opeth

All 3 are equally genius with enough variety to make each of em unique albums., the best proggy/experiemental death metal albums ever. Some of the best albums I've ever heard in any genre. Check out Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance and Edge of Sanity - Crimson II as well - and then the rest of their discographies.

My interpretation is that this song is about an abusive relationship and the narrator is the one suffering abuse. You can see how it lacks self-esteem (please remedy my confusion / a pale ghost in the corner pouring a caress on your shoulder), grieves his absence (the silence of your seclusion brings night into all you say), sees the other as a godlike creature (faint flickering of your power leaks out to show what you keep) while still recognizing how painful this relationship is (pull me down again and guide me into pain / there is failure inside this test I can't persist). The struggle makes it try to escape (nails bleeding for the struggle / it is the end for the weak at heart / a lullaby for the ones who've lost all reeling inside) and ultimately it confronts the other (my gleaming eye in your necklace reflects, stare of primal regrets) and the other simply turns around and leaves. Which causes the narrator to fall on the ground, just to wake up by the calling of the abuser and "lapse into the ways of misery". Then it all starts again, and that's when the main riff returns. This band is out of this world.

I love how the mood of the song changes at 5:04 as soon Mikael’s growls make their presence.

Try another.. The Faceless😉

Music is all highly personal I guess, I love the fact that everyone can come up with their own interpretation. That being said I'd like to share what it means to me without dismissing anyone else's ideas: When I close my eyes while listening to the opening/closing part I always see a waterfall. The acoustic guitar in the beginning sounds like the gentle streaming of the river up top. The noise slowly approaches over the horizon through that one pressing note... then it all tumbles over into chaos. The general 'wall of sound' and the prominent bass line (perhaps not loud, but providing a lot of melody) give me the same feeling as massive amounts of water turning over. There's also the cymbals and lots of hi-hat, i associate those with the splashy sounds of water hitting rocks. I'd say the 'Falls' in the title could be both a noun and a verb, giving the title a double meaning. Perhaps there's a waterfall somewhere in Blackwater Park called Drapery Falls. I imagine that it's about the vastness of nature, the world and society around us. About feeling lost and throw around, and struggling to find a place where you belong. It's the slow realization that you are part of something enormous that neither you or anyone else has control over. When you're young the world seems much more man-made, grown ups seem in control of everything. The realization that this isn't the case (if it comes at all...) is something you have to discover for yourself. That's what the other meaning of the title signifies for me: the drapery concealing this fact slips away and you must accept that there's no guaranteed happy endings in real life. There will be bad things happening that you can't prevent. One more thing, I find Mikael's screams to be some of the most appropriate I've heard. There's no aggression, no trying to impress, nothing that makes me go "ugh just shut up edgelord". Instead it sounds like genuine internal struggle, a person facing up to extreme emotions. I haven't even said anything about the lyrics yet... Forgive me for taking so many words, and thanks for hearing me out, kind Opeth listening internet stranger.

A true masterpiece.

Haven't been listening to Opeth since I was maybe 15. Now I'm 25 and got here through YT's algorithm while listening to atmospheric black metal... Jeez, Opeth are dope. Why did I stop listening to them? Teenage me was more wise than I am

That modulation at 4:01 will always be breathtakingly beautiful.

This song is the embodiment of deep existential contemplation at 3am.

23 years later, still a true masterpiece!

That chord progression in the intro gets me every time. Absolute masterpiece.

I listen to this song and I am in disbelief at how fast almost 11 minutes goes by !!

Time pass bye and you just don't notice it. That's when you really enjoy what you are hearing. it's awesome how Opeth evolves you with their music

The riff at 0:09 is beyond words

masterpiece.

I wouldn't believe this sound could be achieved live .. without experiencing it. It's ALL TRUE and BRILLIANT! Mastodon / Opeth 2022 🤘

.. bros, i was speaking of the musicianship

Emotionally taxing in its brilliance.. what a song. Almost an epic in one song.

I forget this song is 10:55 minutes long. It is so good that it only seems like a 3 minute song when i listen to it.

this band is so underrated

Does anybody else feel like Mikael should write the soundtrack for Diablo IV?

I think that, similar to every other part of the fabric of human(and perhaps other?) life, all genres of music hold the potential for golden opportunity: I think, there are a myriad filters of perception: visionary composers; witty lyricists; analytical mixers; moody audio environments; great musicians; high-quality equipment; diverse audience members: all of these and more, sharing and constructing an ever-growing, infinitely manifold work of art.

This song has stood the test of time, its playing on my subs and I love it so much still, their talent, his voice is amazing! Never again will there be another like them

Atmospheric Extreme Progressive Melodic Death Metal. I doubt there are any other metal bands on the planet with such fluid fusion of different styles of metal. You can't help but gape in utter amazement.

It makes me sad knowing that every day millions of songs are played in the ears of millions of people all over the world and 97% of them don't hold a candle to this. This song (along with most of Opeth's discography) is beautiful and timeless!

1st listen of this caught me off guard. Especially that opening. That may be one of the best openings to a song ever

It took me almost 20 years to discover this incredible song that reminds me the good musical days, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Emperor, Theatre of Tragedy, Samael, Anathema, Paradise Lost...
