Ghost's first EP is definetly an overlooked one, but honestly, it's their best by a good margin. Ghost managed to cover a bunch of already great songs, and turn them into songs that would have fit perfectly on Infestissumam. But despite the high quality of the entire EP, the standout is definetly "I You Have Ghosts", which is a song that the band truly made their own, and is one of their best songs ever, cover or not.

Late edit (70-->50): Yeah, this one hasn't really held up that well for me now almost a year after release.

Opus Eponymous is a very solid debut from one of my favorite bands. This is definetly their heaviest and darkest album to date, and I really enjoy the 70's heavy metal sound here. The doom metal influences also give this a unique sound compared to their other albums. My only major gripe is that the songs sound kind of samey. It's not like I can't tell the songs apart, but this is definetly not Ghost's most sonically diverse album.

This is amazing stuff. The production, pacing, performances, everything is amazing. And Kingslayer is probably my favorite song ever.
