I bought:

1. BWP
2. Deliverance and Damnation
3. Morningrise, MAYH and Orchid
4. Still Life
5. Ghost Reveries

BWP = best album ever concieved, its amazing. pure genious

BWP is actually my least favorite of all the newer Opeth releases (Still Life - present). It starts out so good, Leper Affinity, Bleak, Harvest and The Drapery Falls are four of my absolute favorite Opeth songs. Then Dirge For November, with IMO the single worst intro to any Opeth song. After that the album just loses me until the title track.

Hmmm. Let's see.

Order of Purchase:

1. Ghost Reveries (Purchased)
2. Deliverance (Purchased)
3. My Arms, Your Hearse (To purchase, aimed and shi)
4. Morningrise (To purchase, aimed and shi)
5. Still Life (Haven't seen it)
6. Blackwater Park (seen it, too expensive)
7. Orchid (Haven't seen it)
8. Damnation (Haven't seen it)

The order is pretty much preferences. Depends on my mood with Blackwater Park. "Dirge for November" has its ups and downs with me, but I prefer to skip it, usually.

You havent seen orchid??!! :eek:

Orchid is the only Opeth i have seen in the cd stores.

Purchases:

I've seen it sometimes, but it's strangely expensive.

My Orchid was 30 dollars Canadian, at HMV.

My Orchid was $15 at FYE :cool:.

Haha, sounds like we're talking about the flower. I bought minf for $17 and FYE. FYE has tons of good CDs, but are so overpriced.

$24, I think.

$18 for My arms, your hearse.

Yeah they are, they have the entire Dark Tranquillity discography, but it's all like $17-$19.... luckily the one in my area sells based on release date, so old stuff is cheaper (wtf?) Skydancer was like $15, and Of Chaos And Eternal Night was like $10.

I'm getting some good Napalm Death for $5.

:cool:

I've bought their albums on amazon. It's shocking you folks haven't tried online shopping considering you're already online.

I clearly remember posting a list of my order of hearing Opeth cds. It's gone.

I need to try and pick up Damnation sometime in the very near future.

You should, dude, it's a great album. Even though I've listened to it like 500 times, it's still great.

All Opeth albums are great. Even if some are less great than others.

I agree. I just don't listen to much off of Morningrise or Orchid but they are still good albums.

Morningrise grew on me through "The night and the silent water".

IMO that's by far the best Morningrise track.

All of the Morningrise tracks are amazing except Black Rose Immortal, which soundslike a sloppy composition to me.

Yeah. It pisses me off that so many people think BRI is the greatest track ever. The only reason that they say that is its length.

^Yeah, but I do really like some parts of the song.

No. I love Black Rose Immortal. But it would be different if it were shorter, so therefore... I like the length of it...

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]All of the Morningrise tracks are amazing except Black Rose Immortal, which soundslike a sloppy composition to me.[/QUOTE]
I totally freaking agree.

To Bid You Farewell is definitely my favorite track off Morningrise

^Same

Yeah, that's a great song. Definitely the best on Morningrise.

TBYF is the only song from the first two albums that I regularly listen to.

Not true

I love all the parts of it, especially the acoustic parts.

you cant say "nope this one is the best" because everyone will have different oppionions, perhaps this is why we are such big opeth fans because there are so many elements and different fascets to each of their songs that they appeal to different people for different reasons.

it seams to me, each week i have a new oppinion or which opeth song "is their best"

Their best is either [B][I]The Moor, April Ethereal, To Bid You Farewell, Demon of The Fall, Night and Silent Fart, Still Day Beneath The Sun[/I][/B], and [B][I]Ghost of Perdition[/I][/B]. I think thats a good list, Honorable Mention: [B][I]Deliverance[/I][/B] and [B][I]The Apostle In Triumph[/I][/B].

No - their best tracks are Deliverance, To Bid You Farewell, Windowpane, Harlequin Forest, Master's Apprentices, Bleak, The Drapery Falls and Harvest.

Ooops, look! Another divergence of opinion!

I agree with whoever said that "best" is pointless - we all have our own, and they're all equally valid:)

That's the song I listen to the most from the first two albums, but songs like "In The Mist She Was Standing" and "The Night and the Silent Water" are still incredible tracks.

\m/ BLEAK! \m/

Indeed. :thumb:

Haha, always a positive mention. That song seems to be the catalyst for getting people into Opeth...myself included.

With me it was the Damnation album, plus Bleak and Harvest

TBYF was the song that got me into Opeth.
