Bought this to rip the CD in lossless and to listen to this great album in 5.1. Definitely worth it. Opeth's complexity is truly realized when listening to their albums in 5.1. If you have a 5.1 system, buy this now. You will not regret it.
^ I own every album that Opeth has made available in 5.1. This review will be the same for the rest

I bought this album just the other day, the album is so far my favorite by opeth beating out all the others i own (orchid, damnation, watershed, deliverance (that was is great to!)) I have no complaints about the music but i bought it because i thought wow a dvd AND a cd what a great buy! I didnt think i would be a cd and another cd that just shows a picture. It may be in 5.1 surround sound or whatever but its just a picture with music to me, certainly not the dvd i was expecting. So its not all negative this is an album worthy of the money and it does have one live performance so thats pretty alright, Go buy this one if you have any interest in the band!

I am a huge fan of Opeth, and although every album they've ever released is a 5+ star album, there is just something really special about Still Life.
If you've never heard it before Still Life is a concept album about the narrator(whose name is never mentioned) and his love interest Melinda. The narrator of the story has just returned home after spending several years in hiding, or banishment?, do to a questionable past. The reason for his return is of course Melinda, however fate is definately not on their side. Too keep from ruining the story I will only say that this is a very poetic, beautiful, and epic tale with many twists and turns leading to a climatic ending.
Still Life is not only amazing lyrically however, the music and singing heard here is really quite astonishing as well. Like all Opeth albums there is an excellent mix of heavy death metal music with beautiful acoustic interludes with folk and progressive influences. Mike's vocals are at ... Read More

Well, I'm going to keep this short and to the point. This album is an exceptional piece of work. It is, at least to my ears, a emotionally stirring, thought-provoking experience that haunts and soothes all at once. Frightenly beautiful, this album from Opeth comes highly recommended. Period.
