Best opening song...

[winters epilogue]

This seems a lot harder to me than the other polls, mainly because (for the most part) Opeth has some of their greatest stuff right at the beginning. If this was done before, I am really sorry.

I apologize for the "the" in "In Mist She was Standing"...no idea why that snuck in there

Oh yeah, and despite the fact I have been here over a year, this is my first post...so, uhm, hi everyone.

In Mist She Was Standing. It's way too triumphant not to be.

 

[annt]

They're all good, but I chose Ghost of Perdition.

btw, In Mist She Was Standing doesn't have a "the" in the title.

oops, no idea why that went in there...

the moor

 

[MasterOLightning]

The Leper Affinity. But on a different day it could be Advent or April Ethereal. Very tough decision.

 

[:Wreath:]

Since Ghost of Perdition lately became my all-time favourite Opeth track, the choice wasn't very hard...

 

[Conspirator]

it's obvious, Prologue/April Ethereal

 

[Black Session]

In mist she was standing ... it tells you everything you need to know about Opeth (in that period).
and second favourite ghost of perdition ... because it shows the people who know opeth that they are still opeth, and that they can still surprise you a lot, changing and still remaining so familiar. it really prepares you a bit for the surprises to come on the album.

"The leper affinity" because it really kicks ass and it has this great piano outro.

 

[Detric]

Prologue/April Ethereal.

 

[madu]

Even though I personally find MAYH my least favorite Opeth album, April Ethereal is definitely the best opener.

 

[MikeAak]

I seem to like the moor the best. I just think the intro creates a superior atmosphere which is carried on perfectly by the rest of the song.. wonderfull.

 

[FrostbittenGrimness]

Eh, made a fool of myself, I thought you meant opening song to a live show. In this case, The Moor.

 

[Jude]

The Moor. The eerie slide guitar part, followed by the majestic classical guitar, and then BAM, into some of Opeth's best riffing ever. That song couldn't be better.

 

[TheButcher]

Prologue/April Ethereal

 

[opeth_353]

No doubt - Prologue/April Ethereal .. Possibly the best start to an album ever!

 

[the opeth affinity]

the moor

yeah i agree, hard decision, near impossible but the moor is fantastic

 

[BRI]

Crap I chose The Moor and then remembered that Advent opened Morningrise. Don't you all just love how Mike pronounces Morningrise on the D & D dvd - "morningrice".

 

[opeth_353]

I love how mike really pronounces his S's .. it r00lz lol.

"Thisss will be the lasssst sssong of the evening"
NOOO"
"Yesssss". <3
