    Watershed in perspective of other Opeth albums

    For me, its: 1) Still Life - still the winner by far for me. GL, SPD, MV, and Moor have so many incredible parts, and all 4 are in my top 10 Opeth songs. I think I'm going to buy a 5.1 system just for this album (production is my only complaint with this album). 2) Ghost Reveries - Lots...

    Steve Wilson and Opeth

    From someone who needs to be "creative" for a living, a couple of points: 1) Suppose Mike lived in a vacuum where nobody could ever hear his work. Would he have written the exact same 7 albums of material? I doubt it. On the other hand, I bet it would still sound like Opeth. 2) I don't...

    Another on-topic thread.....

    Thanks much......do I win a prize???? I wish......unfortunately, I was born about a quarter century before that..... I'm just trying to point out that given the behavior of the "off-topic police" I've seen around here the past few months......this might soon be the only thing left to talk...

    Another on-topic thread.....

    Opeth Appreciation Day!!

    Thanks for the reply pie......at least in the US, the big record shops (e.g. Tower, Best Buy, etc...) don't seem to have anybody really paying attention.......typically there's just a bunch of high schoolers working the register.....

    Opeth Appreciation Day!!
