Best All-Clean Opeth Song

[Ermz]

Uh dude, you missed a few songs... what happened to Requiem, Silhouette, Epilogue, Patterns in the Ivy, Patterns in the Ivy 2, Still Day Beneath the Sun, Prologue, Madrigal... that's if you also count the songs with no vocals.

If you dont then you still missed Still Day Beneath the Sun and Patterns in the Ivy 2.

Anyway, out of that list.. my favourite is Face of Melinda, hands down, no competition.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

To Bid You Farewell kills all of those and most of the rest of their songs.

 

[opethwundi]

i said to bid you farewell but i love fair judgement too

 

[Flood]

If Epilogue were on this list I'd vote for it though.

 

[Dev]

It's very tough as usual . I think A fair Judgement has something special like anyone said . I'd say like God , most are wonderful and the remaining just below

 

[Alcapoth]

To Bid You Farewell...easily!

 

[AbsentFriend]

Face of Melinda!!!! Beautiful song, I think AFJ takes too long at the end...(a bit of a Deliverance problem there...However I love the album!), but Face of Melinda wins! Harvest is close behind.

 

[Smitty]

To Bid You Farewell

 

[To Bid You Farewell]

 

[Aecliptica]

omg so difficult, but i chose credence

Hey, all of you who said so are right! I did forget Still Day... and PITI2. Aren't those on the BWP limited edition pressing? I don't have that one, so I guess they slipped my mind. Sorry!

BTW, I also voted TBYF.

 

[Static]

I've realized recently that Hope Leaves is fuckin' SUBLIME.

 

[Cama_Zotz]

'Damnation', 'cause not many people picked it, and I wanna be different.

It's a great album, too.

 

[opethwundi]

i can choose benighted too

every songs are good here

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Anyone who chooses the songs I missed, just say so. Sorry again!

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Face of Melinda for me, although I love 'em all

 

[WyldeBill]

Still Day Beneath the Sun should be in the list too, but that wouldn't change my vote for:

Benighted

 

[JesusChristPose]

To Bid You Farewell is awesome, but Credence is my favorite.

 

[Cynical Bastard]

I'd say Face of Melinda - that ending is so powerful, especially live.

I might be the only one here that thinks this, but there's one part in the middle of A Fair Judgement that really bothers me production wise I guess you might say... right when everything else fades away and there's that quiet, distant-sounding acoustic guitar part playing in only the left earphone. I just find the sound of it playing in my one ear to be annoying and taking away from my enjoyment of that part of the song. Once it picks up with the vocals it's very beautiful, but that acoustic playing so sharply in my left ear like that really bothers me.

Don't get me wrong, I mean musically it's perfect and very fitting for that part of the song, but I think it would come across much better if the sound was more centered yet still all haunting and quiet in it's atmosphere. To me, it would be a smoother transition to the more full sounding part, rather than me feeling like I have to turn down the volume because of the sharpness of the sound in my left ear. I guess you could say it's just one pet peeve I have with an otherwise great song... that and the point that has been made before about the doom-ish ending going on too long to remain interesting.

While we're at it: I think I'll see "Still Life" as their best album from now. I changed my mind. Next year it may be morningrise again though.. Just for now it's Still Life.
