[QUOTE=The Flabbit Rides High]Yeah! I love that last part in Wreath 9;00 i think. It so awesome the way the two vocals come in, and later his growls go twin-style! Hell Yeah! :thumb:[/QUOTE]
Awesome, awesome opener to an awesome, awesome album. :thumb:


[QUOTE=Flynn]Ghost Reveries is my least favorite Opeth album.[/QUOTE]
Same, I hope this is just a bit of a phase they go through, and return to metal madness on the next cd. :D Its still ok, but man Deliverance & ****[I]a[/I]tion were just so awesome that this was... not awesome.

[QUOTE=Kage]Say what you will, but I think pre- MAYH Opeth sucks, and all the new stuff is miles ahead of it.[/QUOTE]
MAYH-Dam[I]n[/I]ation are all better then Ghost Reveries...

You don't like any old Opeth? To bid you fairwell?

OMG, are you an angel?!

I agree like a big 123 like a mofo there! :thumb:

I think Morningrise and Orchid are miles behind the other albums. Production wise, song wise, and ..uhg....growl wise. :)

If those albums were redone, with better production and better vocals... I think they could almost beat any of the new stuff. Get Steven Wilson to work on those... :thumb:

I think MAYH is the first truly good album they made. Orchid is horridly cheesy and sounds plain bad, Morningrise is mediocre to say the most. I mean, there are some good moments, even good songs, but Opeth didn't start making true quality music until midway in their career. Still Life and Blackwater Park were their first true masterpeices, and Ghost Reveries is the third.

I don't understand not liking an album because it's not heavy or technical enough. That's stupid to me.

Its just boreing... Wheres the sick riffing from Blackwater Park? The untouchable song writing from Still Life? The brutality of Deliverance? The emotion of Dam[I]n[/I]ation? This album has nothing but a few cool parts, and a good concept.

It just lacks as an album. IMO ofcourse. :p

You think ''To Bid You Farewell'' sucks?

I don't know you anymore. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Well, I think I've proven that the old stuff sucks, when there's only one song people talk about as being so great, whereas on Still Life, Blackwater Park, and D/D every song is worth a mention.

Ownage.

Great reply.

[B]Orchid[/B] is probably one of the most revolutionary Death Metal albums ever recorded. The recording wasn't that great, but you gotta remember, that was back in what, 1995? That album is a decade old, and a coin toss away from my all time favorite album...ever. Even today it holds it's place being totally original. The structure and song titles are unheard of!

I remember back when I bought that CD, I looked at the back and glanced at the first song ''In Mist She Was Standing'', didn't look further, and bought it. I'm very happy I did. The end of In Mist She Was Standing has a really elusive and Renaissance style of acoustic outro. I listen to that song quit often.

[B]Morningrise[/B], to me, is the ''Master Of Puppets'' of all Opeth discography. I can't describe it's complexity and technicallity within it's layers of well put together guitar riffs and flawless bass, both guitar and drums. Not to mention some of Mikaels best vocals both singing and screaming (IMO). I love the vibe on the entire album and it is easily the most devastating Death Metal album ever.



If you like Opeth, and have not had the chance to listen to these masterpieces, I strongly recommend both of these albums. They're epic. :thumb:

Morningrise might just be my favorite album of all-time and easily my favorite Opeth album.

/is still looking for Morningrise.

[QUOTE=naboo]Morningrise might just be my favorite album of all-time and easily my favorite Opeth album.[/QUOTE]



I just mentioned one song for Kage as I do not have the time to rant on about them all :lol:

But yes, Morningrise to [I]me[/I] is Opeth at their Prime. Although it's very rare for a band to come up with new songs and sound the same since debut (Iron Maiden), I like the path Opeth took. It just makes the value of Orchid/Morningrise skyrocket. :D

[QUOTE=Simon__Thats_All]/is still looking for Morningrise.[/QUOTE]



It's worth a buy. Have you heard any of it yet?

Morningrise is my favorite album. It's not that great if you just take a song out and listen to it individually, but as an entire collection of five songs in a row, it's absolutely amazing.

One night I listened to Morningrise in [I]complete[/I] darkness. Listening to music at night wasn't unusual, but this time it was different. I had my headphones on and the volume was at a nice hearty level. I couldn't do anything except listen to the music and hear my thoughts. It was awesome.

I don't know how to describe that experience, but it was the most dandy listen I've ever had. The funny thing is, I've only listened to MR maybe 3 times since then... a few months ago.

The only album I don't physically own is Still Life, and it's my favorite. :(

[QUOTE=Flynn]It's worth a buy. Have you heard any of it yet?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, someone uploaded Black Rose Immortal for me, and I think To Bid You Farewell is from it as well, or I could be wrong. As far as I know, that's it though. I think I have everything else... I have Orchid, Still Life, Deliverance, Da[B][I][/I][/B]mnation, My Arms Your Hearse, Ghost Reveries, Black Water Park... Yeah.

wow, seriously, I do not lie when I say ''I know that feeling''. It really is a great concept album. I listen to the entire album every time. Withe the exeption of Black Rose Immortal ( I have my reasons ) :D

I listened to Morningrise once when I was taking a ride on vacation...

A few problems I have with it: The vocals are a lot worse than on later albums, and the songs don't really seem like songs...just one new riff after another. There's no real structure to their songs.

That being said, some brilliant riffs in that album there are though (I sound like Yoda... :confused: ).

And I just realized...Opeth AND Nevermore are coming to me November 3rd ON THE SAME BILL.

I started working on my parents to take me and a few friends (they're doing the same thing with their parents) to get us there...so far, it's going suprisingly well. They're actually listening. :p

I don't know what everyone has against Orchid...except Flynn :p

On Orchid, it sounds like Opeth was experimenting with different styles...they hadn't really defined their own style yet. Other than that, it's still a great album...

Then again, I can't really say anything about Opeth's albums so far, I love 'em all :p

I love all of Opeth albums. They all have a unique personality to them.

Orchid was the first Opeth album I got. Fantastic, I love how all the songs flow between each other. Example Sillhouette onto Forest of October.

The Twilight Is My Robe onto Requiem onto The Apostle In Truimph. Amazing.

Yeah Damien I really like Still Life too. Nothing bests Godhead and Moor. Serenity is so good too. :D

Orchid was my first purchased album as well.

Orchid has a few of my favorite Opeth songs...Forest Of October is sheer brilliance.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Orchid has a few of my favorite Opeth songs...Forest Of October is sheer brilliance.[/QUOTE]


I love that song

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Orchid has a few of my favorite Opeth songs[/QUOTE]

Orchid is definately one of my favorite Opeth albums, In the Mist She was Standing is my favorite song.

Forest of October and In the Mist She Was Standing are awesome, but my favourite off that album is definitely Silhouette...it's so dark, and it's completely on the piano.

In Mist She Was Standing just barely misses out on the top five favorite 'Peth songs for me.

I like "Twilight In My Robe" more.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]I like "Twilight In My Robe" more.[/QUOTE]



I like the entire album. :thumb:

I just got Orchid last night. I still haven't listened to yet, but my favourite's Silhouette. Heh heh. Out of the two or three full length songs I've heard I'd say In the Mist She was Standing.
