There are various stages you go through when listening to a Opeth album as I found out listening to Blackwater Park for the first time.
1. Appreciation - "Alright this band is good but what is all the hype about?"
2. Denial - "I bet this album has a few songs that aren't that good."
3. Stupidity - "Man, ten minute songs? I bet they will start to repeat themselves and seem to drag."
4. Ignorance - "I bet if I had the time and didn't have to actually work for a living I could write like this."
5. Realization - "Who the hell am I kidding? There is no way outside of divine intervention I could write songs like this."
6. Jealousy - "Man I suck at writing music. No wonder I work in a factory. I bet they sold their soul to the devil to be able to get this type of talent. They are all probably gay or have some horrible disfiguring disease or something."
7. Approval - "Damn, this band just kicks some serious ass!"
8. Admiration - "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" (Add falling to your knees and doing your best Wayne and Garth impression)
9. Bliss - "." (Your significant other walks into the room at the end of the CD and tells you to quit staring at the stereo like a moron and to close your mouth because you are starting to drool on the furniture.)
