| Five Favourite Albums | 1 | | Opeth Still Life
I'm an Opeth fanboy and if this was my most played albums, it would be full of Opeth's, but I had to go with Still Life because of it's epicness, beauty, atmosphere and lush guitarwork etc etc (plus the nice little concept). Every song on Still Life is a gem, the cover art is great, so this album is pure awesomeness gemlike. Some of Mike and Peter's guitar solos are pure aurgasmic material, and Lopez's drumming is wicked, Mendez even uses a fretless bass on Face of Melinda. Definately the apex of all my albums. | 2 | | Tool Lateralus
Pretty much the album that got me into heavier stuff and prog. Danny Carey is a great drummer, his tasteful and mechanical beats on this album help creates alot of atmosphere and such. Parabola was the first Tool song I heard and confused me at first because I only listened to like Muse and Radiohead back then, but as I grew into Tool, my musical tastes became clearer. | 3 | | The Mars Volta Frances the Mute
This album is a nice listen as the ambient sections are very relaxing. Jon Theodore's drumming is sublime, Omar's spastic dissonant guitar lines are interesting and crazy and Cedric vocals are powerful and emotive. John Frusciante's solos on L'Via L'Viaquez are quite wicked. | 4 | | Pelican The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the
Pelican's latest album is an instrumental delight with powerful metallish riffage and sweet swirling acoustic content.March into the Sea is a track that showcases how ehavy this band can get. Pelican are so great they don't need a vocalist, if only Dream theater didn't have one :) | 5 | | The Flaming Lips The Soft Bulletin
The Soft Bulletin is a very versatile and enjoyable album. The album has a weird duality of elements of happiness and sadness but remains light and never too harsh. The Spiderbite Song is awesome. | |

Good to see someone finally recognizing them | Shadows
07.19.06 | Still Life is my least favorite Opeth album. :( | Serapheus
07.19.06 | Still Life is special to me, because I'm a guitar player that enjoys learning the wicked riffs and acoustic sections on that album. Generally all Opeth albums are my favourite except maybe Deliverance mainly because I find it inconsistant. | Phil
08.08.06 | You got the Spiderbite song on your edition. Lucky twat. |
