What are some great death metal songs or albums that feature passages that could qualify as 'beautiful'? I think the outro of In Mist She Was Standing is clearly the best example of this. Another one not by Opeth I can think of right now is the last couple minutes of "Kali" by !T.O.O.H...

If you are a fan of black metal at all, you MUST hear this. Their first album, Krallice contains Mick Barr as well as some other people I'm forgetting... it's self-titled. I think guaranteed to be one of the very best of 2008. Has anyone heard this? (If not, message me :))

What do you think is their most overrated release? I would have to go with Still Life. I love it, but it's not a masterpiece as some would claim. Plus, that production.... anywhoo..

What are some great Opeth songs IYO that don't really get enough appreciation generally, say from people on this board? for me: The Twilight is My Robe Isolation Years Still Day Beneath the Sun Dirge for November In My Time of Need

I never really gave this album a chance until last night, used to own a copy but ended up selling it, the other day I dl'ed it and gave it a listen... wow, I understand why Mikael likes them so much. Latimer is such a fantastic fucking guitarist, also. The solo in Lunar Sea = amazing

Not really including things like Requiem, Prologue and the like, or demos and covers, what are your top 5 least favorite Opeth songs (and give some reasons too!)? Mine would be as follows ('twas a very tough decision): Weakness- Just not anything special as a song. Pretty boring, bland and...

Technically speaking, that is. Regardless of personal attatchment, nostalgia and other factors, GR is truly their best piece of work just in terms of maturity, sound/production, transitions, guitar work, etc. I used to bash Ghost Reveries all the time because I was more into their first few...

Is anyone else into bands such as: Boredoms Can Acid Mothers Temple ?

I would say Prologue- short, but pretty, and a great start to the album

This song is very underrated on this forum. I think it's one of Opeth's best and most beautiful songs. Its also interesting to note it's the first 3-minute Opeth song that is an actual real song, with vocals. The guitar is very pretty, and the vocals of course are the best part, so emotional...

*gulp* OK, I know I'm going to get flamed x 1000 for this but recently I've been thinking and Still Life maybe really isn't one of Opeth's best albums. (I know Liquid Diamonds at least will agree with me on this). If you do a track-by-track comparison of Still Life vs MAYH, it's easy to see...

What do you think is the most mysterious Opeth song? I would say Under the Weeping Moon, the atmosphere is creepy and shrouded in mystery. As a whole MAYH also has an aura of mystery and spookiness.

This hasn't been done since Ghost Reveries came out, so I figured it couldn't hurt.

I'd say Blackwater Park, cause it has some amazing songs on it, though GR does kick ass from time to time.

did Opeth completely lose their classical influence? It seems like since Still Life their acoustic guitar playing has been more folky and less classical like on Morningrise. I still love it but i think it would be cool if they had some classical kind of stuff too, not too much just a little...

If you have to choose... first four albums or newest four albums?

What Opeth album do you think has their best lyrics and which one has their worst lyrics? I would say Still Life/Ghost Reveries (meaning best/worst) Because Still Life's lyrics are poetic and beautiful, and the ones on Ghost Reveries are just kind of... meh. Don't do much for me. Except...

Forgive me if this has been done before. I would definitely say Morningrise, seeing as it is my favorite Opeth album. But, Orchid has it's moments. There are some really great vocals harmony parts on Forests of October and Apostle in Triumph. And In Mist She Was Standing is a fucking...

Which album do you think has better lyrics/overall concept? I love MAYH, but Still Life's concept is clearer and just a better idea, MAYH's one is good but a little... eh... though i do love it dont get me wrong.

You know what I mean how Mikael often goes "ahhhhh" instead of singing actual words, just a beautiful melody. What are your favorite instances of that? I love the humming part near the end of The Moor, the surreal, ethereal sounding "aaahhh" at the beginning of Karma, the little "oooh-oh"...
