Texas King Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 My Arms Your Hearse for me. Blackwater Park is the close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Still Life, although I have much love for Ghost Reveries and Pale Communion as well. Blackwater Park, Damnation and Watershed are also up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think I should give this band another shot Big KISS fans, esp Mikael Åkerfeldt .. He mentions 'em numerous times here ..

He talks about The Elder a lot - he loves it ... But from that interview, Hotter Than Hell seems to be his favorite I don't know if he was joking or not, but in the beginning of that interview, he says that he is one of the guys in Ghost ... is that true ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWac5UT80no I absolutely HATE the growl, but Mikel is beyond the cliche of this genre. I know so many old school Opeth fans who hate Steven Wilson for ruining OPETH. I personally am so happy the way Opeth has turned out. Beautiful Modern Prog. But even the growl from the past albums for some reason doesn't bother me. Opeth puts amazing melody into their canon. I fuckking love this band. I can handle the candle of growl with Mikel. All other growl Death Metal is shite to my ears. Life goes on kids. Edited January 17, 2018 by RUSHHEAD666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Although I've gone back and started diving deeper into their earlier, growly recordings, I still find the balance of material on Watershed to be the best representation of the band firing on all cylinders. It was their transition album that had strong elements of where they were coming from musically and direction we have now seen them take since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Ghost Reveries was/is Opeth's peak for me. Push comes to shove, that's my favorite album and I was really stoked to have seen it live in its entirety a few years back. I love Blackwater Park, I love Damnation, I love Deliverance (especially the remastered version), I love My Arms Your Hearse and Still Life is a pretty good album. Basically, I think the run from My Arms Your Hearse through that album was their best period. Truth be told though, Opeth has somewhat fallen out of favor with me in recent years. These days, I prefer their best friend (and fellow Swedes) Katatonia and have been more of my kind of rock/metal for almost 5 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I can pick a favorite, but don't listen to them often enough to be able to rank their albums objectively. The first one I bought was Ghost Reveries, and I do like the balance of Watershed, but I had to go with Deliverance because the title track is awesome.
