Ghost reveries is cool, I like dense harmonies, when bass isn't just playing unison stuff and all this keyboard stuff. Also is Damnation, Deliverance and Blackwater Park. And My Arms Your Hearse. Don't like earlier early albums and Still Life - IMO they kinda lack integrity, I like multipart-made songs, but only when there's kind of flow binding parts together. i.e. Morningrise sound to me like plenty of short songs incidentally glued together. I think mr Wilson finally showed them how to make flowing music.
Of course my opinion isn't more valid than yours, but I feel proud to add something to interwebs informational noise.
I hope it's just a slipcase with the original artwork inside because an envelope for a cover... that's just silly. Even though the face in the stamp is a compilation of the Opeth members. The date it was stamped is the release date, the value '09' would be the 9th studio release of Opeth and the number 6867 seems to be the number of days since Opeth was founded.
