Best Opeth Album

[SteveO)))]

Which Opeth album is the best? I was wondering which one I should buy.

 

[SteveO)))]

I listened to a friends copy of Blackwater Park and I really liked it. I'm just trying to find some other Opeth cds that are really good.

 

[NFU]

best is obviously relative....but if you havent heard the band before...but it seems youre not new to heavy stuff...so id have to agree that still life or my arms your hearse is a good place to start.

 

[Luz]

My Arms, Your Hearse.

 

[SteveO)))]

I also listened to Deliverance. I didn't like it as much as Black Water Park. I was actually thinking of buying My Arms, Your Hearse but i wanted a second opinion

 

[Luz]

Buying My Arms, Your Hearse is a MUST

 

[dorian gray]

aaaahhhh....just buy em all! what are they? 15 bucks a piece? worth every penny - all of them.

 

[Birkenau]

My Arms, Your Hearse and Blackwater Park.

 

[dorian gray]

or just buy them all.

 

[Manbient]

MY ARMS, YOUR HEARSE.

The only other acceptable answers are Morningrise, or Orchid. All others (besides deilverance, which was actually not really that good) are amazing, but not the best.

 

[The Grimace]

Deliverance is my favorite, Still Life is the best, buy them all.

 

[Dreadful]

start off with orchid...then work your way towards damnation.

 

[deliverance]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh





buy the one with songs on it

 

[Evil Ernie]

If you liked Blackwater Park, I think you will like Still Life.

Deliverance is my favorite, Still Life is the best, buy them all.

Why would the album you think is the best wouldn't be your favorite?

 

[Windfall Fear]

all of them

 

[T-Rat]

my faves are BWP and MAYH... i would start there... then Still Life, and round it out with Morningrise, Orchid and Deliverance/Damnation in no particular order.

Why would the album you think is the best wouldn't be your favorite?

Deliverance, to me at least, has more enjoyable parts, but all the repetition and sort of sameiness I think causes it to be a less complete work as a whole than Still Life. In other words, though I listen to the song 'Deliverance' probably once a week, I won't sit and listen to the whole album anywhere near as often as I do Still Life.

 

[ViCyniC]

Use Blackwater Park as a test. If you enjoy it, things will only get better as you move backward in the catalogue. And once you develop the taste for them, then listen to Deliverance. Damnation is optional, as it's mostly prog, and not a full representation of Opeth's sound.

buy blackwater park first. It's the most easy to get into... but still life is the best.
