[QUOTE=penelope weird hands]^As long as you have My Arms, Your Hearse, Still Life and Blackwater Park you should be alright.

The best three Opeth albums. [B]F[/B]uck yes. I also think that Deliverence and Damntaion are classics aswell, but those three are essential.

I would say that every Opeth album has something to offer, but the ones that you don't need right away would be Orchid and Ghost Reveries.

Orchid is one of the ones I want the most ...heh..Well, used to atleast.

I think I would prefer Orchid to Morningrise if Morningrise didn't have TBYF. That song is one of Opeth's best.

It should probably be one of the last CDs you get by the band just because it's nothing you probably haven't heard already from the band. IMO it's just a weaker version of Morningrise. I'll probably get flamed by someone for that, though.

But seriously, it's imperative that you get Blackwater Park, Deliverance, and Damnation.

I know a few songs off Orchid. And I love them.

But yes, I will get BWP, Deliverance and Damnation eventually, unless my brother wants either Blackwater Park or Deliverance. Same with MAYH, I want that one. I pretty much want them all :p

Orchid has exellent songwriting it's just the production is aup par for Opeth and that takes away a alot of the pleasure.

How come no one is mentioning Still Life when mentioning their top 3? :mad:

my top 3 is...I think:

1) Morningrise
2) Blackwater Park
3) Still Life

Still Life would definitely be in my top 3.

1) Still Life
2) My Arms Your Hearse
3) Blacwater Park

Bah I'll do the rest.

4) Damnation
5) Deliverence
6) Ghost Reveries
7) Morningrise
8) Orchid

[QUOTE=JamJar]Still Life would definitely be in my top 3.

Haha, don't worry. I agree. Morningrise has everything Orchid has, but better - better acoustics, better vocals (clean and growled), better production, better riffs, better songwriting...and Black Rose Immortal.

Uhh ohhhh It's list time!

1. My Arms, Your Hearse
2. Morningrise
3. Still Life
4. Blackwater Park
5. Damnation
6. Deliverance
7. Ghost Reveries
8. Orchid

Deth, its kinda weird that our lists are almost the same.

Minus the soloing.I think Forest of October alone has as many guitar solos as all of Morningrise.

Mine would be:

Orchid
BlackWater park
Damnation
My Arms, Your Hearse
Ghost Reveries

Thoese are the only albums I have.

If I must:

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

IMO the beauty on Orchid is unmatched.

Saved from another favourite album list.

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

Well, now I'm glad I didn't buy GR yet. Now to see if I can get it for 10 bucks...:cool:

No way, it's a cash grab. The price will likely be jacked, and dumb fans of the album (like me :() will shell out and get it.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Still Life
Blackwater Park
My Arms, Your Hearse
Damnation
Deliverance
Ghost Reveries
Morningrise
Orchid[/QUOTE]

That is scarily similar to mine... scarily :amaze:

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

This list changes all the time...

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

Yeah, that'll change pretty soon. Still Life is always on top, though. Damnation is so high because I just learned In My Time of Need on guitar, and it is a great song to jam to...

Only one way to find out...

My Arms, Your Hearse
Orchid

[QUOTE=Thor]Go to amazon, they've always got Opeth albums used for really cheap.[/QUOTE]

I would do that, but:

1. I have no money

2. I have no credit card

My list AT THE MOMENT would go something like this:

MAYH
Still Life
Deliverance
Black Water Park
Damnation
Orchid
Morningrise
Ghost Reveries

Man, I thought Orchid was one of the most popular albums on here. I guess I was wrong.

Ghost Reveries is an okay album. Hours of Wealth is amazing IMO.

NP: Opeth - The Twilight is My Robe - :cool:
