Listen to The Sign
I have returned! Time to bring it back with some classics. To be honest, my favourite song by Ace of Base is Beautiful Life, which isn't on this album. However, I felt that since this was their best selling album and featured The Sign, as well as All That She Wants - I'd listen to this album instead. After listening to the popular singles, the rest of the album felt quite repetitive. I can see how I would've loved this album way back when (fifteen years ago?), but now it just doesn't cut it. Sometimes it felt like the background music was identical across a couple of tracks. The album also featured some remixes at the end, but I didn't particularly care for any of them. I'll still continue to appreciate their singles.

Blackwater Park by Opeth
Listen to Bleak
In retrospect, picking this album to listen to tonight wasn't a good idea. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for metal. The thought of listening to two Opeth albums back to back was too tempting to give up though. However, had I been in the mood to listening to metal - Blackwater Park would probably be one of the better options. Trying not to be biased considering my mood for not wanting to listen to metal right now – I think I enjoyed Opeth's quieter sound on Damnation better. That being said, Bleak is still one of my favourite Opeth songs. The rough vocals that lead into such a soothing chorus really make you appreciate the chorus a lot more. Overall, Blackwater Park offers the heavier metal sound and growling/screaming vocals that weren't on Damnation. If you're in the mood for that (and I'm sure a lot of metal fans can listen to this kind of music any time of the day), Blackwater Park is right up your alley.

Damnation by Opeth
Listen to Windowpane
Yet another album michael recommended but I never got around to listening to until a friend from college recommended Opeth to me. He gave me two songs to listen to – Windowpane and Bleak. After listening to both of them, I knew that I had to listen to both of their respective albums. It's hard to distinguish Opeth's belonging genre. This album is a lot softer than other songs I've heard by them with growling vocals. Ever listen to a song with a guitar riff so good that you want to close your eyes to enjoy it? Damnation gives plenty of opportunites as the tracks are filled with beautiful melodies. Listen to the bridge in Windowpane by Opeth, bloody amazing and the rest of the album is just as sweet.
