[QUOTE=Dunkelheit]Lies! The growls in The Drapery Falls, along with the melodies inbetween are some of the best on BWP! They lyrics are really tight to.[/QUOTE]

After the intro, the song just seems to drone on a little for me. It doesn't have those jaw-dropping climaxes like The Leper Affinity, Bleak, and the rest of Blackwater Park(Minus The Funeral Portrait).

But to each his own, I still think it's a good song.

That was my first Opeth song, I love it.

I'm a sucker for fade out outros. :smoke:

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I hate The Drapery Falls. I don't know why.

I rather liked Still Day Beneath The Sun, one of the bonus tracks on BWP...I haven't heard any others though, besides Eternal Soul Torture.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Still Day and Patterns II are the exceptions, but the ones on Hearse and Orchid bug me...

i have all tracks from still life except moonlapse vertigo :( i love the album but it feels incomplete when i listen to it :upset: anyone know where i can get moonlapse vertigo? (besides buying still life - i would but it is in no record store here)

What was everyones first Opeth album? Mine was BWP.

Allofmp3.com my friend. Legal Music albums for $2.00 = woohoo! :)

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]What was everyones first Opeth album? Mine was BWP.[/QUOTE]

SL. I still think it's their best.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]What was everyones first Opeth album? Mine was BWP.[/QUOTE]

Mine was Blackwater Park also. I liked it a lot and then took a break from it, but I've started listening to it again. It's still very cool.

Damnation

Blackwater Park was my first from Opeth.

morningrise was my first

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]Those two, oddly enough, are some of my favorite Opeth songs.[/QUOTE]

Same here, A Dirge for November has a beautiful intro. For a while I actually thought it was a song on it's own...it sounds so different from the rest of it.

My first was Damnation. It threw me for a loop...I was expecting something ungodly heavy. :lol:

I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me, I think after I got Blackwater Park.

Damnation was my first, I didn't like the heavy stuff at that point but someone pointed me to that album.

Bought?

Ghost Reveries.

Listened?

Benighted. So I started with Still Life.

Blackwater Park was my first. The one that got me into them properly though was Damnation.

About the Drapery Falls, the best part of that song, and the climax for me is the clean singing towards the end. "Spiral into the ground below, like autumn leaves left in the wake to faaaaaaaaaaaaaade" and the "waking up to your sound again" part. I think they're brilliant. That and Bleak are the best songs on there, followed by The Leper Affinity and Harvest and the bonus tracks.

BWP was my first. My favorites bounced around for a while, but I've come to the conclusion that the title track is my favorite.

Order of albums purchased for me:

BWP
Orchid
Morningrise
Deliverance
Damnation
Still Life
MAYH
Ghost Reveries

A pretty weird order.

Started with Morningrise here. Still possibly my favorite.

Bollocks!
[QUOTE=Jack Daniels]I wonder how all of you non scandinavians that writes "Akerfeldt" pronounce his name, beucause it is spelled "Åkerfeldt" :P[/QUOTE]
OW-ker-felt.
[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Off topic, but... is anybody else bugged by the bonus tracks on the reissues of the older albums?[/QUOTE]
I despise them with the intensity of a thousand suns.

[i]Blackwater Park[/i]. Downloaded it, listened to it like twice, was impressed, impulse purchased off of eBay for six dollars.

I win.

Dammit! You stole my line!

I know.

:lol: This thread always turns into me and Darkness arguing and Scruples providing the comic relief.

Yeah, mind was pretty random too. I didn't buy any albums that were an album that came before or after the last one I bought (if that makes sense).

Blackwater Park
My Arms, Your Hearse
Deliverance
Orchid
Still Life
Damnation
Morningrise
Ghost Reveries

I bought them in order I could find them.

Bleak has crappy clean vocals.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I bought them in order I could find them.[/QUOTE]
Me to, whenever I saw an Opeth album I didn't have, I bought it.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Bleak has crappy clean vocals.[/QUOTE]

My first was Blackwater Park. It's still the only studio album I have.

NP: Tool - The 81st Chakra (Thanks Dunkelheit! This song is great.)
