bball_1523 01-01-2006 05:00 PM

favorite album might have to be still life, but the others rotate.

you can't beat serenity painted death, one of the best intros ever and a beautifully contructed solo

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Flynn I thought you liked Morningrise more then Orchid?[/QUOTE]


I can't decide!!! One day I like Orchid better, then a few weeks later I will like Morningrise a little more. I think I do respect Orchid more then Morningrise. That's my final decision.

Ive only got three albums and some downloads but from what i have...

1.My Arms, Your Hearse
2.Morningrise (only got 2 downloads)
3.Blackwater Park
4.Deliverance

Darkness 01-01-2006 05:07 PM

Warning to you who rate Deliverance so low:

This album takes a little while to get into. At first, you listen to songs like Wreath and By The Pain I see in Others, and are like "pfft.. what was that" But after a while, you start to really like the brutallity Mikeal and the boys have and bring to the table. It really is a solid record. If they would have had better working conditions when making it, and some more time, it could definatly have been comparable to BWP and Still Life in terms of best.

magicbus 01-01-2006 05:17 PM

1. Orchid
2. Blackwater Park
3. Morningrise

Still Life and Ghost Reveries would probably come in next, but I haven't listened to them enough to pick.

Man I [I]love[/I] Deliverance! The reason why it's so low on my list, mainly, is because, in my opinion, I enjoy other albums over it. Now, if Damnation was along with it as one album, like it was originaly suposed to, it would of been so much better of an album. I do like Deliverance though. It's definately [B]O[/B]peth's heaviest album.

Ensameheten 01-01-2006 06:11 PM

1.Still Life
2.Deliverance
3.Blackwater Park
4.Morningrise
5.Ghost Reveries
6.Damnation

Deth 01-01-2006 07:17 PM

:eek:!

Dark Tranquillity and The Devin Townsend Band opening for Opeth next year!

Draghkar 01-01-2006 07:26 PM

1. Morningrise
2. Orchid
3. Blackwater Park
4. Still Life
5. Damnation
6. Deliverance
7. My Arms, Your Hearse
8. Ghost Reveries

On another note, Opeth is, despite the fact that they are not the most atmospheric or emotional, my very favorite band.

Wicked! I heard that it was gonna be Into Eternity on the Canadian tour, but damn, I would have nothing against seeing Dark Tranquillity instead! They're one of my favourite bands, and I was really disappointed I missed them this year.

Thor 01-01-2006 07:36 PM

[QUOTE=magicbus]1. Orchid

You put Orchid first? That's a first, most Opeth fans don't think much of that album when it's up to their other releases.

BlindWriting 01-01-2006 07:38 PM

I'd have to say:

1. Blackwater Park
2. Ghost Reveries
3. My Arms, Your Hearse
4. Damnation
5. Deliverance

I've only heard The Moor and To Bid You Farewell from the albums I'm missing.

And that's interesting news about the tour, Devon Townshend's a crazy guy, and I still haven't heard any Dark Tranquility. What genre of metal are they?

TojesDolan 01-01-2006 07:39 PM

Due to recent mood changes:

1. My arms, your hearse
2. Damnation
3. Still life
4. Blackwater park
5. Deliverance
6. Orchid, morningrise

But because I've listened to it over and over, Ghost Reveries is like 3.5 or so. Its tough to chose an album over the other, since for instance, I have a thing for Blackwater park, but the s/t song isn't exactly my favorite. Tough choice.

Oh yeah the DVD. Never forget the DVD.

Deth 01-01-2006 07:39 PM

Well for my list I suppose it would be:

1. Still Life
2. Morningrise
3. MAYH
4. BWP
5. Damnation
6. Deliverance
7. Ghost Reveries
8. Orchid

BlindWriting, DT are melodic death metal. Check them out for sure, they'll be a great opening band.

I haven't heard The Devin Towsend Band before, but seeing Opeth and Dark Tranquility together should be one hell of a show.

Deth 01-01-2006 07:42 PM

I only just got into Devin Townsend, but it's really good. It's cool progressive with some genius parts.

Well if it's prog rock then odds are I'll like it. I'm such a sucker for that genre.

naboo 01-01-2006 09:40 PM

1. Morningrise
2. Still Life
3. Blackwater Park
4. My Arms, Your Hearse

I'm a complete Devy fanboy. I hope you've checked out Terria already? If so, a great album is Infinity, as well as Accelerated Evolution.

1. Still Life
2. Blackwater Park
3. Ghost Reveries
4. Morningrise
5. Deliverance
6. MAYH
7. Orchid
8. Damnation

As I've said before, I don't really have a favorite Opeth record, nore can I rate any of them. I just like them all. Why compare? They're all perfect for what they are. :)

That might be fine in Kanadia, but that crap doesn't fly here in Amerika.

1) Still Life (They'll never top it. Ever.)
2) Deliverance (The Blackwater Park killer)
3) Damnation (The calm after the storm)
4) Blackwater Park (Superior to Morningrise only because of the great vocal work)
5) Morningrise (So many dual [and sometimes triple] riffs, it'll make your head spin)
6) My Arms, Your Hearse (I haven't listened to this enough)
7) Orchid (It's like Morningrise, but not as good)
8) Ghost Reveries (Meh)

Darkness 01-01-2006 11:32 PM

It's just that I change almost daily of which Opeth album I like more. It depends which I'm listening to. If I'm listening to BWP, I'll tell you that it's their best. Same with the rest of them.

It also has a lot to do with what mood you're in.

Oh sweet Jesus, there is NO way I'm gonna miss that now.

Dark Tranquillity is by far the greatest Gothenburg band ever, Opeth is one of the best progressive bands ever, and Devin Townsend's the best crazy Canadian ever. All put together, that would make anyone self combust with anticipation.

matt4 01-02-2006 12:15 AM

Curent list for me:

1. Still Life (never moves from this spot!!!)
2. Blakwater Park
3. Deliverance
4. My Arms, Your Hearse
5. Morningrise
6. Orchid (If the songwriting was slightly better, it would absolutely own Morningrise)
7. Ghost Reveries
8. Damnation (great album, I just prefer the others)

This list constantly changes with the exception of Still Life. That has to be the greatest metal album ever recorded..of all time! All of these albums are AMAZING, and they all have their place and moods. Somedays I just have to have GR and nothing else will do. Same with each album. "Screw Still Life, I need Orchid!" type stuff, you know? :P I think that says a lot for a band when the fans have such a hard time picking out their own personal favorite albums because the all own so much.
