Best acoustic stuff

[strwdle]

could somebody please list the best acoustic songs from all of Opeth's albums. I much prefer the mellow stuff, and can't wait till damnation. The heavier stuff is cool, but I want to expand on my taste, and songs like benighted, patterns in the ivy etc have really enlightened me.

credence

patterns in the ivy II

 

[Cyclonus]

Well there is Harvest but that isn't as cool as the others mentioned...

 

[Hondo]

Here are all the songs that are on the mellower side, all have either all clean vocals or are instrumental.

Silhouette
Requiem
To Bid You Farewell
Prologue
Madrigal
Credence
Epilogue
Benighted
Face Of Melinda
Harvest
Patterns In The Ivy
Still Day Beneath The Sun
Patterns In The Ivy II
A Fair Judgement
For Absent Friends

Out of curiosity, does all that fit on one CD? I've never tried it.

Yes it does. Ive made a great mellow cd out of all those songs. Nice cd to goto bed to aswell

harvest is amazing

Best mellow sections within the heavy tracks: Advent, Black Rose Immortal, Godhead's Lament, Master's Apprentices, etc...

 

[Fathomless]

yeah, i would call the mellow section in godhead's lament the pinnacle of mellow opeth.

edit: i.e. the "what would they care if i did stay . . ." part.

 

[BiatchGuy]

agreed, about Godhead's Lament.

a close second is the mellow part of Karma.. (a very overlooked song!)

 

[IcemanJ256]

no, just everything on orchid and morningrise.

 

[Staffan]

The acoustic stuff on orchid and morningrise are the most brilliant! totally progressive! perfect stuff!

All wrong: the ending to "When" IS their finest moment.

 

[Birgith]

gawd.. the drapery falls then? that's a mellow song.

 

[Birgith]

uhm.

Serious mental lapse in forgetting this and The Drapery Falls...and lapse into the ways of misery....
