Mythodea
04.18.20 | Seeing how you don't favour their latter era, it's strange to see PC in second place. |
Djang0
04.18.20 | Heritage last, and PC at #2 hurts so bad. I always thought the former was way better. Otherwise nice list |
Mythodea
04.18.20 | I just noticed that Morningrise's cover is the only one not en face, it's slightly off from the center of the image, compared to all the other covers, that are more horizontal and static. |
wojodta
04.18.20 | Heritage is definitely the best of the new era |
Mythodea
04.18.20 | In Cauda Venenum is creeping up behind, from a fair distance, but still it's second best. |
charbyno
04.18.20 | Pale Communion was the album that got me into Opeth. That’s why it is high up |
Mythodea
04.18.20 | oh, okay. I have the same thing with Heritage, but sentimentalism aside, I also do think it's better than others. |
zakalwe
04.18.20 | Yay. I’m the same with Heritage but that is a genuinely amazing album. Pale Communion is alright. |
Mythodea
04.18.20 | Two albums that followed opposite paths are Sorceress and ICV. I loved Sorceress at first, but it's worn off me, and I was disappointed by ICV and now it's won some points in me. |
Scoot
04.18.20 | watershed is always underrated
it's the last fantastic opeth album |
Mythodea
04.18.20 | no. |
wojodta
04.18.20 | ICV and Sorceress just bore the hell out of me. They feel like there's no energy at all. Heritage still at least had some interesting moments. Folklore is one of their best songs ever IMO. |
Trifolium
04.19.20 | Love the Heritage love guys! It's one of my fave albums ever. This list is weird haha. |
Mythodea
04.19.20 | If you swap 2 with 12 it gets normal again |
grannypantys
04.19.20 | orchid being so low is craziness |
Trifolium
04.19.20 | True Mythodea, normal yet still painful! |
Pikazilla
04.19.20 | I bet this is Trifolium's favourite Opeth ranking on sput ;) |
Trifolium
04.19.20 | You know it Pika. Still makes me cry. I'll jam 13 mega hard to compensate. |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.19.20 | Least Favourite Track: A Fair Judgement
Least Favourite Track: Dirge for November
booo :[ fun ranking though ! |
Pikazilla
04.19.20 | In all honesty, this is probably the most confusing Opeth ranking I have seen to date. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.19.20 | I have Ghost Reveries as a 5. My dad and I loved that album when it came out. I only ever checked out Heritage and Sorceress after that and they didn't live up to the legend of Ghost Reveries. Need to jam that more. Was listening last week but it's not enough. |
zakalwe
04.19.20 | 1. Blackwater Park
2. Orchid
3. Heritage
4. Ghost Reveries
5. Morningrise
6. My Arms Your Hearse
That’s my top 6 and it’s quite possibly the hardest top 6 to rank in recorded history for me. Only Bob Dylan matches it tbh.

Trifolium
04.19.20 | Zak that is way better, although BWP has slipped down the ranks a little for me over the years. |
Mythodea
04.20.20 | 1. Blackwater Park
2. Ghost Reveries
3. Heritage
4. Still Life
5. Watershed
6. Damnation |
Trifolium
04.20.20 | 1. MAYH
2. Heritage
3. GR
4. Morningrise
??? Or something along those lines. These four switch places all the time. |
ReefaJones
04.20.20 | The production on Pale Communication is ass. The drums sound horrible on that album. |
Mythodea
04.20.20 | Steven Wilson produced PC, so I guess what you're saying is incorrect |
OSEL
04.20.20 | If by Steven Wilson you mean Tom Dalgety, then yeah. And agreed, that producer is ass. "Okay Legolas, let's put your drums in a cardboard boxes and then you should hit em with a feather duster" |
Trifolium
04.20.20 | What are you on dudes!? PC had amazing production. If you meant Sorceress I would 100% agree with you. PC had many problems but production certainly wasn't one of them. |
OSEL
04.20.20 | *looks at track listings* you're right, PC sounds good but was boring and Sorceress is the offender. Either way, still don't get all the misinformation about SW producing every album post-watershed. Pretty sure they realized they were out of ideas after Damnation being a snoozer |
ReefaJones
04.20.20 | the drums have no punch at all. They sound muffled. Horrible snare.
"let's put your drums in a cardboard boxes and then you should hit em with a feather duster"
sounds about right |
Mythodea
04.21.20 | Steven Wilson did the mix on Heritage and PC, thus the misinformation. I looked it up to clear things up. I'm not savvy on recording process, so I confuse production with mixing (if anyone cares to explain I'd be greatful).
Still, the album with muffled sound was Sorceress, not PC. And Damnation is a snozzer? Where does this come from? Best acoustic material from the band. |
