This is my favourite Opeth album. The music sounds like it's always been around but yet somehow Opeth make it sound ethereal. Lovely lyrics and a variety of sounds blended together to make molten musical heaven. An album to get lost in. If I had more than two thumbs I'd hold them all up. But I don't. So two for Opeth.

People think that to listen to slow quiet music sissy, but Damnation is one in a million. The music and vocals are beautiful. Mikael Akerfeldt is a true genious. Damnation is one of those albums where it`s hard to pick a favourite song, because each song has a unique feature example: to rid the diease has the brilliant keyboard solo and windowpane has the legendary guitar solo. My personal favourite is windowpane. Damnation is easily one of the best albums ever written. The only thing that could make it better is if `Harvest` was on it too.

I'd listened to Opeth before, mostly on video media, and this was the first album I got hold of of theirs. It's a lot mellower than I expected it to be. There's no death, it's all prog, but so well-crafted there aren't really any moments where it lags. This is already one of my favourite rock albums - I've regained my faith that good, original rock music can still be written. I honestly can't think of any better rock album from the last decade, one of those which you listen to and think, every single one of those songs was genius. It's probably the subtlest album I own too, though at the same time there are some complex structures and new sounds here which make it psychadelic and almost hypnotic. A truly great and unique band are Opeth. I defy anyone who's into contemporary music, no matter how hardcore, to dislike this album.

A review from someone who isn't a massive metal fan
I bought this album after a friend who loves death metal told me to listen to some Opeth. I listened to blackwater park and liked parts of it - especially the more melodic parts. Read more

Beauty and power
Damnation is an album of truly subtle beauty. Opener Windowpane is immediately insistent in its rhythm, but gentle. Read more

Opeth's Mellow Songs at it's BEST!
A brilliant album by the Swedish progressive death metallers Opeth. They wanted to make a mellow album, they made the holy grail of mellow songs. Read more

recommended to me and better than I thought it would be
I didn't know what to expect and found it to be quite easy on the ear. You could put this album at a dinner party. It's very un-offensive. Read more
