Best Opeth Album?

[DarkBarrage99]

Get all of them, then figure out what you like. Don't listen to other people.

i second this

Deliverance is the heaviest. But it's not as well written as some of their other albums. (This is a fact). I would go for Blackwater Park.

 

[Tubbs]

(This is a fact).

Not a fact. Other than the last track, I don't see any "facts" that would indicate that it's not as well written.

Wow, I didn't know that Still Life is so popular among Opeth fans. I thought I was the only one who thought it was the best... (Yeah, that's just cause none of my friends consider it the best)

Yeah, first post on this forum. Opeth is great. The only problem is that it's so fucking depressing if you people get what I mean. XD

Welcome to the board, hope you have a good time. Remember to use the search option before you start a thread

I share your opinion - Still Life is my favorite as well.

I´d say Blackwater Park is the best album. But i actually haven´t heard Still Life or any albums released earlier that it. My first was Ghost Reveries, but that album fell below Damnation, Deliverance and Blackwater Park on my list when I heard them.

Not a fact. Other than the last track, I don't see any "facts" that would indicate that it's not as well written.

Wreath isn't very well written. Deliverance is ok, but I don't think it's as good as songs like TLA, Bleak etc. A fair Judgement is incredible until that ridiculous ending. Master's Apprentices is ok too, but again I don't think it's as meticulously created as some of their other heavy songs. BTPISIO isn't a good song.. though I think it has some cool moments.

It's just not that strong an album.

See Tubbs? The "evidence" is irrefutable...

 

[Tubbs]

Sounds like the "evidence" is really just a bunch of opinions.

my arms your hearse and morningrise

Not a fact. Other than the last track, I don't see any "facts" that would indicate that it's not as well written.

Again, I don't get what everyone's problem with BTPISIO is

 

[Vilewoman]

I'd have to agree with most people.
Still Water
Damnation
Black Water

 

[Tubbs]

Again, I don't get what everyone's problem with BTPISIO is

I thought the same exact way until someone mentioned that the song is just poorly structured and repeats sections way too often.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Still Water

 

[Godhead59]

Again, I don't get what everyone's problem with BTPISIO is

It's confused, it's repetitive, it's stretched out and when you put it at the end of such a magnificent album, its boredom is glaring.

 

[kalikatzaros]

It is a pretty strange song and I dont like it that much either but it has some great moments in it.
........RISE TO SUBMISSION!!!!!!!!

BTPISIO is not a bad song. I think of it more as true depression expressed in song form.

 

[Vilewoman]

Yep I confirmed it, don't post drunk
