Yeah, it's definitely the "cool" thing to do. I guess we're just not coolextolfan said:i guess hating on it is the "cool" thing to dotools.

Being new to this forum and also a relatively new Opeth fan, I have seen enough to know that I will probably get bashed for this.
I really like The Grand Conjuration.....from 5.26 to 7.00 sends shivers down my spine.
BTPISIO and DFN also.

its an ok song, except for the ton of repetition.
But its certantly not the centerpiece. If we are talking about a traditional opeth song, its just got to be Baying of the Hounds.

The Grand Conjuration? The centerpiece huh?
I was always under this impression
Movement 1
Ghost of Perdition
Baying of the Hounds
Beneath the Mire (works as a transition too, sets up the rest of the album, fucking phenominal song)
Movement 2
Attonement
Reverie
Harlequin Forrest
Movement 3
Hours of Wealth
The Grand Conjuration
Isolation Years
I wouldn't say centerpiece, but escalating climax. Good time for my TGC judgement. I liked the song when I first heard it ( it was actually the first Opeth song I ever heard) the songs that nestle it make it far better than what it's worth, and in that context make it a good listen.
By itself........... a pretty brooding, bleak, metal song.

I think it's a really good song by itself, but I agree it is made better by the songs that nestle it.FloyD ThraSh3r said:The Grand Conjuration? The centerpiece huh?

Alot of Opeth songs are underrated because they are overshadowed by so many awesome others. No song on Ghost Reveries is Under rated except maybe Isolation Years.
My list of underrateds:
UNDER THE WEEPING MOON
FOREST OF OCTOBER
DIRGE FOR NOVEMBER
THE MOOR
THE NIGHT AND THE SILENT WATER
The first two are underrated mostly because they are off the first record and alot of Opeth fans dont find out about that until later. (Not me Forest of October was my first Opeth song)
The Dirge is underrated simply because it is surrounded with phenomenal tunes on the BWP album and alot of people think the intro is weird and skip it over.
The Moor might proove contreversial in this topic, but I think it is very underrated. The Moor is such a masterpiece I would actually reccomend it to someone as the first "real" Opeth song they should hear. (By real I mean not Damnation) The Moor is a fantastic menagerie of moods and riffs but alot of people overlook it and see it inferior to the likes of say "Drapery" or "When".
TNATSW as some people already mentioned for obvious reasons, this song is overlooked by alot of people and I dont know why, maybe because people get bored of the Morningrise bad production and after 13 and 1/2 minutes of Advent it wears on them.

Godhead's Lament
I'd say it's Night And The Silent Water. I like the song to be honest. But many ppl seem to ignore it a lot. I think it's pretty good. And then I'd say that The Twilight Is My Robe shoud be rated a little more. Very awesome track.
