Yeah, moving around the fretboard is always a good thing, depending on how you do it.

Agreed, but I don't try and stay up high all of the time. It's best if you balance out the super high notes with the super low notes, at least for me.

I'm glad Johan did his stuff with Orchid and Morningrise, but like it has been stated before, I much prefer the tightness of the Martins.

Martins ftw. I love the groove section on Baying of the Hounds with just bass and drums, until Per and Mike come in. It's amazing.

Not to mention ALL of the Damnation album.

Yes, that album also owns completely. It's astonishing how much that album oozes groove from both of them

[QUOTE=Toaster]Wow, really? My Arms is an awesome album.. I can see how you might not like Orchid, but the latter has very few faults to my ears.[/QUOTE]

Production's not that bad on the Hearse... It's pretty raw, but it's definatly clear.

Yeah none of Opeth's albums really had bad production. This is of course ruling out their bonus session tracks.

The first 2 could have been a little better, but they're still very listenable, obviously.

Well since you were talking about the raw and unpolished feel, I guess it worked for those first few albums.

Indeed. I think it gave it a special standard, it fit well with the music recorded.

[QUOTE=Thor]Isn't your favorite Opeth album Morningrise? If so, you're the only person I know who thinks that. It used to be my least favorite album, but now I'm back into it and I think that "Black Rose Immortal" and "The Bid You Farewell" are simply great tracks.

Also on the subject of Morningrise, didn't Mikael say that he hated "The Night and the Silent Water"? If so, why? It's a fairly decent track.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Morningrise is def. my favorite Opeth album. I think a lot of people on this forum say the same, but then again there are much more Still Life and BWP lovers out there

I would have to say that Blackwater Park is the fan favorite out there, and with good reason. :thumb:

It suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure did. :)

I once valued Morningrise as my favorite, but I think My Arms, Your Hearse is my new favorite [B]O[/B]peth album at the moment. Memories from that album the past couple of springs are getting to me. :)

[QUOTE=Flynn]Indeed. I think it gave it a special standard, it fit well with the music recorded.[/QUOTE]

Definitely, I love the drum sound on that album... Its so great at the beginning of April Ethereal when they come in, it has a very brutal kind of sound they never captured again really

Yeah no doubt! I remember when I first bought MAYH, I listened to it all the way through and said to myself ''what the hell is this?'' But it grew on me hard, something [B]O[/B]peth is good at doing to me :lol:

I feel that for Orchid. It's an odd sentimental attachment.

haha yeah man, I know [I]exactly[/I] what you mean. :thumb:

I'm seeing Opeth tomorrow!! Awesome!!

[QUOTE=Moses]I'm seeing Opeth tomorrow!! Awesome!![/QUOTE]
Sweet dude, taking the Mrs?

No, taking a friend of mine that I recently got into Opeth. I think he likes them more than me now. I still might be taking the Mrs. to the Taste of Chaos Tour for Deftones, Dredg, and Pelican if she gets back from her new work place* soon enough.

*Six Flags, she gets to be Tweety.

I've stopped listening a lot of Opeth lately and focusin on other music... idon't want to turn into a weird fanboy or something like that,

On a related note, does anyone one the chords/stuff at the beginning of "harvest"? I hear a chord or something pretty similar to E major, but it's... not E major. And I don't have a lot of time to figure out because I'm lazy.
