In my opinion Still Life is more than just a concept album, it's a metal opera. From the creeping intro of The Moor to the end of White Cluster, this album is darkly cinematic and would make a perfect score for a film or a play.

Still Life is such an underrated album. Even by me I admit. Every once in a while I happen to relisten to this or that track, which I hadn't listen to or even remembered for quite some time. And my reaction is always "How the fk did I not notice or feel this EXCELLENCE back when I first heard this?!" This hit me most recently when I relistened to Moonlapse Vertigo, now from the remastered album. It was always one of my favourites, but this time I pretty much fell obsessively inlove with it.

I listened to Still Life 5 times all the way through today. 3 times at work, 1 while working out, and am on my 5th on Vinyl. My still life peaceville vinyl has the best album art imo.

The main character of the album arrived back in his hometown after years of exile. The town was a very religious one and he was exiled because of his faithlessness. He returns specifically to reconcile with his sweetheart, Melinda, who has become a nun.

Still Life is my favorite Opeth album by far and my second favorite album of ALL TIME! it happens the same for me, that I listen to one track at random an fuck it! I need to listen to the whole album all over again and I never get bored! The key element here is the concept story, it seems that you didn't get it enough, at least by the time you make these reviews. understand what is going on in every song storywise is the fucking best thing ever.

I don't quite understand how one could say Still Life is not a concept album. As whole forms a tragedy to rival that of Romeo and Juliet. A tear comes to my eye nearly every time I come to "Serenity Painted Death" and hear "Saw her fading, blank stare into me; clenched fist from her, the beautiful pain". Mikael fully intended this to be a concept album, and it is an absolute masterpiece. I have never heard a piece of music that holds as much beauty as this album, and I likely never will.

Still Life's got to be their darkest album. The storyline is amazing. I've made a concise version and put in on KZitem, although obviously, listening to the entire thing is much better. Incredible.

The line," 15 alike since I was here" is a reference to 15 years having past since he was here last, It is perhaps a clever numerical choice to relate to the time within the song as well. Interesting catch.

I`ve listened to this album and it is great. It`s really the one that got me into the band. I`m really not that into Death metal, mainly because the gory lyrics and over the top imagery turn me off, although I do enjoy the music. This balanced it out pretty good.

great review! Opeth is my favorite band of all time, without a doubt. My favorite is probably Morningrise, mainly because of Black Rose Immortal, which is the Opeth song I've listened to most times. Also Blackwater Park an Ghost Reveries comes 2nd and 3rd. Opeth forever! Proud to be swedish ;)
