Bleh I'm not into the lists.

But yeah, you have to agree that no matter what you think, GR has way better songwriting than Orchid and Morningrise (I personally like MR a lot more, but the songwriting is still EXTREMELY amateurish). The songs are just riffs strung together, essentially. The later material has much more sophistication and thought given to structure, etc.

Ghost Reveries is their best imo.

I'v heard all the albums, and LOVE all of them except Morningrise and I am yet to hear Orchid, but GR just has this warm tone that I can't get away from. I can't listen to their other albums in the same way anymore, because the tone is different...

List

Ghost Reveries
Still Life
Blackwater Park
Diliverance/Damnation(Can't put them up agaist each other)
My Arms, your Hearse

[QUOTE=Shadius]You know, I'd quite like to see them rework the Morningrise songs actually[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't, I think they're perfect how they are.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Serenity Painted Death would be up there as far as Opeth's heaviest IMO.[/QUOTE]
Definitely one their heaviest, and also one of my favourite Opeth songs.

Ok this isn't Opeth related but hopefully you guys will enjoy this song as much as I do, it's called Room of Angel from the Silent Hill 4 soundtrack, composed by Akira Yamaoka, and it's one of the most beautiful, haunting things I've ever heard. If you can't find it to download it anywhere, you can listen to it on my Samspace page at myspace.com/shamus . Sorry to ramble, but I can't get over this song. The beginning is so ominous sounding! AHHHHH SO GOOD. Listening to this song is also the best experience I've had while being high, even trumping the time I was playing videogames that never existed in my head.

The production isn't too good IMO. Some songs just bother me but the songwriting is awesome.

NP. Death-Crystal Mountain

The only problem I have with the production is that the bass drums are basically nonexistant.

Welcome to MX Crysiss :).

Death ftw

I've got no idea what ftw means

IMO, The most boring opeth album for me is Still Life. Granted its a great album and all, I love Face Of Melinda,but the songwriting feels like it was thought out too much. Like it was forced.

ftw = for the win

Still Life is by far my favorite actually, and I only find Moonlapse Vertigo to be a weak link.

What's your album of choice by the way?

Hmm...Blackwater Park is great, Morningrise is epic, deliverance is energetic, etc

Cant really choose. I see all Opeth albums in a different terms. They're all great in different ways but i've been listening alot to Morningrise lately.

I prefer morningrise as of now:thumb:

My favourite albums are Still Life, MAYH and Blackwater Park, in that order.

Great album. I usually get into it this time of year, once it starts to get nice out, great music for spring. :)

Moonlapse Vertigo's not so bad. The final vocal part of that song is probably my favorite clean vocal melody in any Opeth song.

123. During the Early winter, I get into the more doomier feeling stuff. I absolutely loved Still Life during that time. But right now, i can barely listen to it without getting bored.

What does that say in your avatar? Fringements Unbegoaling?

I've heard music from the SH4 soundtrack. They've all got great Titles for the song, but the songs arent great IMO.

Also, you got a nice avatar dood

Moonlapse Vertigo is one of my favorite tracks on Still Life, great song.

I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but although Benighted is great, I love the acoustics, the vocals bother me. I think its the timings. If that makes any sense :-/

I'de have to listen to it again...

I haven't listened to Benighted for quite a while.

You give me ideas, man.

Crazy ideas.

*goes to winamp and puts on Benighted*

EDIT: Forgot to thank Cryssis for the compliment.

Thanks.

No Prob

I used to love Benighted. I have the same complaint about the vocals too.

np. Mayhem-Funeral Fog

I don't know what you guys are talking about....I love the vocals in Benighted.

NP Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses album. :cool:

Benighted good, but I forget about it when Face of Melinda comes on.

That is a freaking sweet avatar Tojes.

I love Benighted... the only real positive sounding song on Still Life, which is a nice breath of fresh air. The vocals are great, IMO.

Hmm, Still Life has been getting a whole lot of listens lately.

I'm learning the Moor :cool: Next its going to be Face of Melinda. I now love that song.

I looked at the tab and all. Its going to help my finger picking too. Well at times. I suck badly at finger picking.

Benighted has good finger picking to, as well as parts of The Moor.

Something weird has been happening. Everytime I listen to The Leper Affinity, I hear orgasms during the solo. :confused:

Wait a second, they're mine!

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Benighted has good finger picking to, as well as parts of The Moor.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I considered learning Benighted to put my acoustic guitar to good use.

The clean parts in The Moor are awsome.
