Best cover art

[changso]

According to my own taste, I'll go with Blackwater Park...
the cover is simply beautiful!

 

[Austin7]

Morningrise. It has such a mysterious aura around it.

 

[Blackspirit]

Still Life, I'm in love with it. I think it was the first
album I got with coverart that instantly got to me )

Izual, I disagree about MAYH. I also chose Morningrise as the best cover, but I love the MAYH cover. That cover is one of the reasons I first gave Opeth a chance. I think all the covers are good in their own way, but Ilike Still Life the least. It is too overbearing and busy, where the rest are simple and stunning.

My rankings of the covers:


1. Morningrise - probably my all time favorite album cover
2. Blackwater Park - Awesome, and dark
3. MAYH - not on par with the other two, but still great.
4. Still Life - Not my favorite
5. Orchid - Blah.

Orchid's cover may be simple and not really that creative (an orchid on the cover of the album orchid..) but I love it. It's by far my favourite, I just think the flower is so beautiful, especially when it is contrasting with the black background. The cover has been my computers desktop for like a year now. It's my personal favourite Opeth album cover.

well it was a toss up between all of them... but still life won. travis smith rocks

 

[SculptedCold]

As a photographer, graphic designer, and metal nut interested in all things deep and philosophical about music; I strangely find no merit or attractiveness in the Morningrise cover.

Still Life for me. The complete package (inc. back cover).

 

[changso]

I can't believe it, Still Life surpass Morningrise!

 

[Slayed Necros]

Morningrise

 

[Manes]

I really like the cover art of Still Life and Blackwater Park... They would instantly persuade me to buy those CD's...

My Arms, Your Hearse's cover art has a very mysterious atmosphere... very cool...

 

[red_beef]

Blackwater Park.

 

[Morningrise]

Whoa, none for My Arms Your Hears?!?! That is my second favorite to Morningrise, actually they are probably tied...

 

[Draconamis]

I'm going to have to go with Still Life.
And it's not because it's the only Opeth album I own (I working on getting the others). I like it because of the color scheme and I've always had an affinity for the whole Christ metaphor.

 

[Alcapoth]

Damn, how did I miss this!?

Anyway, I must go with the Blackwater Park cover as being their finest! Very dark, and I just love the atmosphere portrayed within the overall design of the image. The fog, the tree branches, the grays/blacks & whites - awesome!

2. Morningrise (beautiful photograph and has the perfect feel of the album)
3. My Arms, Your Hearse
4. Still Life
5. Orchid (last, but hey...gotta love the pic of the Orchid. Great cover!)

They're all great!
