A comment my daughter gave me while listening to Ghost...

I didn't give Ghost a fair try, but I do love the band some of the same members were in called In Solitude. It's more heavy metal-ish and less surf-rock. I'm very unfamiliar, so Ghost is harder for me to appreciate.
 
I thought Opus was rather unique when it came out, with its doom pop sound and blatantly satanic content. It was an interesting gimmick, and I still find the album somewhat fun to listen to, but everything since is just too try-hard and lame. I dont even think I made it halfway through Meliora, it's just that bad.
