[QUOTE=Thresher]Beneath the Mire is EASILY the best track on GR , the solo is just so incredible.
For Still life .. i have to go with White Cluster

BWP is the worst album in my opinion :([/QUOTE]

What the...

You have/have heard all their albums and think it's their worst? That's so weird. lol

Seriously, Deliverance is better? Orchid is better? MAYH is better? Usually someone would find one of those albums worse for whatever reason.

lol MAYH is like .. probably the best album with Still life. BWP just seems to be missing something ... you Get more out of the other albums, i think. Bwp is probably the Most "pop" album .. but MAYH is definately the Most disharmonic Stuff they did , just love it so much . April Ethereral = Rape

**edit** : i own all they're albums

I agree that SL and MAYH are the best, but BWP closely follows behind. The main problem with the album IMO is The Funeral Portrait. That is my least favourite Opeth song along with Wreath, it really disrupts the album for me.

BWP is a powerful album nonetheless .. tracks like : the leper affinity and the drapery fall will like .. murder you in the night . but Still , SOMETHING is missing

I can't believe you like Deliverance more, you weirdo. There's clearly more than just something missing from that album.

Anyway, Damnation is clearly their "pop" album.

:p

BWP has "pop" guitar riffs. I think that's the main problem ..
They tried to go a lil more "basic" with the BWP album..
Basic is not opeth :P

lol then damnation is probably the Most Evil POP there is , ahaha
In my time of need and Death Whispers a lullaby are like .. evil sex.

Btw how can you have green day in your list of favourite bands :(

I used to love Green Day when I was a kid, and my girlfriend makes me listen to them still. (:

I went to go see them last year, they put on a good show. Fun poppy music.

Anyway, back to the point! There's no pop riffs on BP! But I can see what you mean by some riffs being more basic than on previous releases, having said that, I'd say Deliverance and Ghost Reveries have even more basic riffs.

:(!

The Leper Affinity=basic:confused: :confused: :confused:

i don't mean all the tracks .. but in whole the album is based on a more steady kinda rythm. Leave TLA out if this .. a kickass track :D

Uh, what the hell are you talkin about? Pop.

I really question how much you know about theory.

Yea...dude, with all due respect, the tracks are anything but basic. Granted, they DO tend to follow the same tempo/time signature or whatever, but the riffing patterns change so much it's hard to call this album basic.

Oh, and BWP is my favorite album. So go die. :mad:

:p

As for vocals...I still think Mikael was at his peak on BWP. Now, that's not the fanboy talking, it's based on the progression of his voice. Maybe it was the production, or age, or whatever, but he sounds ungodly evil on it.

Me to... theres more "pop" on GR. :confused:

Now, to be fair, nothing Opeth has put out could be considered "pop"...

Simpler, maybe, is a better word.

I think his best growl are on Deliverance. Clean vocals I lean a little bit toward Damnation.

I really dislike his growls on Deliverance...they're still good, but they sound...hollow, almost.

I like them because of how evil they are. I may be the only one who thinks his growls are really evil on Deliverance.

Nope. I really like all his growls. Deliverance is no exception.

I still think they're more evil on BWP, though almost nothing compares to the first chorus of By The Pain I See In Others.

You got that right! :thumb: :chug:

Yeah, with that double bass it sounds sick.

RIIIIISE TO SUBMISSIONNNNNN!

Goosebumps every time, man...

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Yeah, with that double bass it sounds sick.[/QUOTE]
I really like how they double tracked his growls too.

I have been writing music for 6 years .. i know what sounds appropriate :P

[QUOTE=Thresher]I have been writing music for 6 years .. i know what sounds appropriate :P[/QUOTE]That doesn't mean you know theory.

well ... either way .. everyone has his opinion on everything. you really can't tell which Opeth is the ""best"" . Cause there is not best, every album has it's pro's and con's , nothing you can do about that . But I can tell you that Mik&Peter gave that Extra effort on MAYH and SL

But you can prove what is basic and whats not, and you are wrong.

but i still think they're third observation is the sh*t :D

[QUOTE]But you can prove what is basic and whats not, and you are wrong.[/QUOTE]

I'm not wrong .. you can't be 'wrong' when it comes to writing music .
I just tend to go for the more Evil&Dark sounding stuff..

I was talking about what how basic the BWP is.

[QUOTE=Diabolus in Musica]I was talking about what how basic the BWP is.[/QUOTE]

Basic does not equate to bad. This is coming from a Technical Death Metal whore, too. :rolleyes:

My personal favorite will remain Still Life for all eternity, though, I'm afraid. It's just beyond awesome.

Blackwater Park is their best album. Hands down

I don't understand why there is so much hate on The Funeral Portrait. Dirge for November, sure, because it's a bit boring, but TFP is kickass. Some of the coolest riffs on the album...

For accoustics , TFP is teh sh*t

MAYH = The best. Orchid is right behind it.
