 Ghost
 Opus Eponymous
 Review by Gary Hill
For a while I really struggled with Ghost. I wanted to like them, but I wanted them to be more of a pure metal outfit. Once I embraced that they are more arena rock, I got it. Now they are one of my favorite bands. This debut release is probably the only one I would consider to be real heavy metal. Yet, even this features more melodic hooks and the quirky elements that make Ghost recognizable as Ghost. There is some strong music here, and this album really works as a whole, from start to finish.
