Best album sound?

[Luann]

As I listen to still life, I notice I love the sound of the acoustic guitars, my dad says that it has too much reverb, but I don't give a fuck.
The voice of mike on this album is really great too, it's very big.
I love the drums sound on watershed for example, maybe because of axe's playing?
What album do you think that has the better sound?

I remember hearing Serenity Painted Death for the first time and I thought that Mike's clean voice sounded a lot like Jerry Cantrell's. I also thought there were at least 3 vocalists in the band... so yeah I love the sound of Mike's vocals on Still Life.

Blackwater Park.
Because it's the album that purely accidentally made me an Opeth fan.
And a Steve Wilson fan as well.

 

[Windowpane87]

Blackwater Park is perfect IMO

 

[Pantagruel]

They all have their advantages and disadvantages I think, but its leaning towards Watershed for me.

 

[Necropeth]

Yeah it really depends on what your like. A raw tone like BWP or warmer such as GR.

Sound wise, I pretty much like them all after MAYH..I find Orchid an MR a bit too tinny and MAYH too muddy. Great songs though!. Deliverance sounds a bit brittle to me, like in the first big drum fill on "Wreath", the drums sound a bit like "pit pat" if you know what I mean!.. Watershed sounds brilliant.

Not Watershed. The growls are mixed too low if you ask me.

I'd go with Deliverance and Damnation.

LOL, I actually agree with your dad, I can't stand the sound of the acoustics on SL, but I love the sound of the acoustics on Orchid and MR.

 

[Vega Skater]

Love the atmosphere of MAYH.

 

[Walls1441]

this thread has been done before at least twice since i've been on here.

BWP or MYAH for me.

 

[Vega Skater]

Slayer101, I've decided that your signature image is my favourite on this forum.

 

[xGhOsT ReVeRiEs]

BWP definitely, the aura is soo eerie throughout the entire album.

especially the guitar sound.

next i'd say Ghost Reveries, then Watershed.

 

[Mantraschism]

'My Arms, Your Hearse', because it's so suffocating and oppressive, but I also love 'Blackwater Park', for the reason that xGhOsT ReVeRiEsx stated. Very haunting atmosphere.

It helps that it's from one of the best movies ever.

But back on topic, I think my favorite is Ghost Reveries.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

I love the black & white soundscape Wilson created, I guess I've never heard something as cold and beautiful.

 

[philno]

there will be blood is NOT one of the greatest movies ever. come on.

 

[Slayer101]

^ lol, you're wrong

 

[antiface]

I rather liked the sound production of "Lamentations". As far as studio sound, though, going to have to say BWP.
