The second concept album has, as far as I can recall, all their songs in minor key. So it’s a sad album, but also very powerful. A lot of stuff is going on with hard/soft parts. The opening track is magnificent, starting off with a sliding electric guitar which explodes in everything throught the song, but never straying too far off the original idea.It also has a chilled-down, clean part that is very good. “Godhead’s Lament” has one of the best solos in any Opeth song, and is also very heavy. The cleans are great as we’ve been accustomed to, and the breakdown bits are beautiful. The next song is “Benighted”, which is an acoustic song about letting go and surrender to the sleep. “Moonlapse vertigo” is one of my all time favorite tracks. The way the mix cleans and harsh vocals are super! Following that, “Face Of Melinda” is a more calm track, with a lot of double vocals going on.”Serenity Painted Death” also has some great solos, and is very melodic. The closing track, “White Cluster”, has some high-pitched vocals from Mikael in it. It was the first time he did this, and it works out quite well. Not his best, but ok. I’m not particularly a fan of this track, but it has great potential of live sessions.

I had multiple copies of the first press on vinyl but sold them because the 2010 and 2012 re-issue actually sound better (better mastering and less inner groove distortion). -
Mine has the same Matrix numbers as board's.
I also heard talk about a quick repress after the original in 2002, but can't confirm it. Someone said they first made 1000 copies, then another 2000 short time after. I don't know...

Yes, I have the same release as you. I believe it's the original issue too. Same Matrix numbers. -
As far as I know, this record was repressed shortly after the original release.
Can anyone confirm this?
I believe my copy is the original issue. It's identical to the information given above, except that the matrix numbers don't have anything listed after "damont", so they read like this:
Matrix Number: DLPVILE 78 SIDE 1 DAMONT
Matrix Number: DLPVILE 78 SIDE 2 DAMONT
Matrix Number: DLPVILE 78 SIDE 3 DAMONT
Matrix Number: DLPVILE 78 SIDE 4
