Black Rose Immortal

[J.]

1. Orchid
2. Morningrise
3. My Arms, Your Hearse
4. Still Life

Hmmm, anyone else see a pattern here? Oh, and none of the others matter at all.

 

[Dark One]

I think.... hmm. I think Still Life had just come out when I picked up Morningrise, my first Opeth. If I remember correctly that is. Okay, ranking time:

1. Still Life
1. Deliverance
2. Blackwater Park
3. My Arms, Your Hearse
4. Damnation
5. Orchid
6. Morningrise

If I stare at this much longer I'll switch 'em around so I'll just click SUBMIT.

Hmmm, so Morningrise really was your first foray into the realm huh? Wow, generally speaking I find that long time fans enjoy the style of the first two releases more than the latter 5, while short term fans are just the opposite, but hey, there are exceptions to every rule.

Still, I can't argue with anyone's ranking system when it comes to these guys. Yet the fact that 5 and 6 on your list are the first two albums shows where your stylistic tastes lie.

Mine (as of today):

Morningrise
My Arms, Your Hearse
Orchid
Still Life
Deliverance
Blackwater Park
Damnation

 

[NAD]

Yep, obviously I like where Opeth is going as opposed to where they've been. Must be that progressive side of me.

 

[Demonspell]

You know, I STILL have no idea who that guy is. Obviously we hung out in Cleveland, but I guess I was just too damn drunk for 72 straight hours.

Morningrise > Primar Fear parties, even NAD can admit that

That nut posted a link to a video of the listening party on the Progpower forum! Isn't that the most idotic and recockulous thing ever?

Thats mine for the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if it changed by the next time I post.

As for Black Rose Immortal, yes it rules. Especially the midsection from around 8 to 15 minutes into the song. As for The Night and the Silent Water, I'd like to know why Mike and Peter don't like it as I think its a great song.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Id like to know why Mikael hates and wont play moonlapse vertigo live supposedly (Still Life is my number one Opeth album as well).

 

[Demonspell]

I think he once said in an interview he was extremely dissastisfied with the way it came across the one time it was performed...

 

[JayKeeley]

Speaking of "Black Rose Immortal", has anyone else ever noticed the similarity between the section at the 4:00 mark (after the silence) and the slow instrumental piece, under the narrative, in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"?

And no, I don't have tabs to back that up with.
