Lol.
If any, their first 3 are the ones to get. Most will tell you otherwise though.
Heritage isn't a bad idea though. |

04.10.14 | morningrise is shit all the other albums are shit. ive said it before and ill say it again. this is how opeth works
there is orchid. then there is orchid 2.0-3.0. then there is mega orchid 4.0/mega orchid which is still life. then there is orchid 5.0-9.0. and finally there is black orchid.
really what it comes down to is this: you can listen to any one orchid (0 through 9.0) and you have essentially heard every opeth album. BUT it is in your best interest to listen to orchid 4.0/mega orchid aka still life because it is the best version of the exact same album. once you have heard any one of the 9 versions of the same album in varying levels of quality stop there because everything else is the exact fucking same and nobody gives a fuck. there is only one choice from here. listen to the black orchid. the black orchid is like the ugly duckling of the pack. all the other ducklings are exactly the same except that the mother trivially decides to play favourites with them, but the ugly duckling is oh so very different.
the ugly duckling turns into a BEAUTIFUL SWAN
black orchid is this ugly duckling and it will blossom into a beutiful mega orchid in its own rights because it is not the same as all the other orchids and therefore is the only other orchid worth listening to |

04.10.14 | Still Life is one of the weaker "Orchids". It's just like the previous "Orchid" but nowhere near as good. Honestly I'm really surprised you like Still Life the most, potsy. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.10.14 | you've got it all wrong clim
here is the correct ranking
Mega Orchid 4.0: Orchid recorded in a swamp of mourning aka Still Life
Black Orchid: Orchid recorded after time travelling to the past to the early 70's and having the entire album performed by King Crimson instead
Orchid 8.0: Orchid recorded in a haunted house during a seance aka Ghost Reveries
Orchid 5.0: Orchid in a misty swamp instead of a swamp of mourning aka Blackwater park
Orchid 9.0: Orchid played in a shed under water aka Watershed
Orchid 7.0: Orchid played in a creepy room aka damnation
Orchid 6.0: Orchid played in a slightly different creepy room aka deliverance
Orchid 3.0: Orchid played in a forest aka my arms
Orchid 2.0: Orchid played on a bridge by some water aka morningrise
Orchid: Orchid played in a field of Orchids aka Orchid
bare in mind that everything following Black Orchid is ultimately interchangeable because they are all the fucking same frittata sounding album

04.10.14 | "fukkin nerds want the new album to be my arms your hearse 5.0 but that shit will never happen"
new album will be Black Orchid 2.0, the ugly duckling that gets away with slightly more fusion bullshit because the first ugly ass duckling already broke the moma duckling in for him |

04.10.14 | "swamp of mourning"

04.10.14 | Oh man this is confusing. Im just gonna d/l the discog and start from the beginning. |
Dr7
04.10.14 | Depends on what you want to hear next from them.
Something Heavier, rougher sounding: My Arms Your Hearse
Melodic, stripped down: Damnation
Prog Rock Opeth: Heritage
Something close to Ghost Reveries: Blackwater Park/Watershed
It's a little difficult to recommend Still Life as it sounds, literally like a bridge between MAYH and BWP, which doesn't help you much other than the fact it's a superb album.
Deliverance is a good album, but I couldn't recommend it if you're only just getting into Opeth.
As for Orchid and Morningrise, I can't really comment as I'm not fond of the production, but that's just personal preference.
tl;dr: My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life and Blackwater Park.
Enjoy! |
