To confess I'm only really gotten into Opeth in the last couple of months, and I was just wondering if someone could fill me in on the concepts behind some of their albums? Like MAYH is about a ghost and Still Life is about a guy forsakening christianity and being kicked out of his village and returning for his love. I hear Still Life is a prequel to Orchid. Is MAYH a sequel? So what's the story?

ignore them. They are unrelated as far as i know, and Orchid isnt a concept album, so Still Life isnt a prequel to anything.
You have the concepts right though pretty much.
There are plenty of sites you can google for on the concept.

The search function is seriously missed..
Check the FAQ thread. There is a brief explanation of My Arms there, and some other good facts.

Jack Frober? The only name mentioned on the album is Melinda, the main character was nameless as far as I know. Do you people know something I don't?Alternative 3 said:

i swear we tried before...i don't think we're ever gonna find out. i'd kinda rather it remain that way, seeing that it/he is the most-referred-to inside joke/legendary figure on this forumT3hLep4rAffinity said:

i never found the frober thing funny, to be honest.
but now that trey found the part where it sounds like he says it, it kinda made me smile. ok, not really, but, it's still pretty funny to hear him almost say jack frober in the track.
