A haunting piece of work

"This one comes from Pantera's Phil Anselmo's new record label. Although Phil's involved, this is not metal. It a hybrid of Southen rock, accoustic folk and even a touch of blues. Its a dark, haunting record. The closest Pantera comparison is Suicide Note Pt.1 off of the Trendkill cd. A better comparison would be Alice In Chains SAP with a female vocalist. Hard to describe. It's dark, dreary and beautiful at the same time."

Pretty good

"I listened to this about 5 times in a row. It really takes you to another place. You need to listen to this with 100 candles burning and smoking every joint that you have. Opal has a great voice and her lyrics are great too. I really like this album, but it is not something I can listen to everyday, I have to be in a gloomy mood. Great work Phil and opal!"

"ill be honest, i only decided to check this out probably for the same reason we all did. shes phils wife and hes on it. but when i actually listened to the songs i was blown away. ive always loved lilstening to girls sing music like this with a real dark feel to it. ok so maybe shes not the best gutar player in the world but not everyone can be jimmy bower or dimebag(rip). but when i listen to this cd im in another world for 20 minutes and then all i can do is listen to it all over again. opal has the most beautiful voice ive ever heard and the darkness and emotions this album evoke takes talent genuis and someone with soul. this is up there with NOLA,take as needed for pain and when the kite string pops. this is one of the deepest pieces of music ive ever heard. so dont question the talent here or the depth and darkness of this masterpiece. southern issolation , the name says it all. my only complaint is that this is all there is and all we may ever have. these 4 songs have burned a hole in my soul were its gonna be forever. if u can find it buy it try newburry comics or any used cd stores you really fu**ing yourself over if u dont own this"
