Orchid 4, Morningrise 4.5, and Blackwater Park 10??? What drugs are you on

I am surprised to see so little love for White Cluster and Advent. Undress and go into your rooms, listen to these songs until you realize how awesome they are, then masturbate to seal the deal.

[Tubbs]

Wtf Tubbs, isn't Deliverance your favourite album...why did you rate it so low?

Well the album as a whole really isn't that great, but it has MA and Deliverance which are probably the two best tracks they've ever made iyam. My favorite Opeth album as a whole is probably Still Life.

[Blind Guardian]

I was a little bit torn putting Black Rose Immortal as worst track on Morningrise. The first ten minutes are not that good and is the only part of Morningrise which isn´t that mesmerizing,while the last ten minutes probably is my favorite ten minutes ever from Opeth.

[Sorrell]

Deliverance was the disc that turned me into an Opeth devotee'. I think it's one of the best records ever. Not just metal, or any specific genres. It's just that good.

P.S. Hi, I'm Steve Sorrell. But please, call me Rooster.
