Damnation or Deliverance

that's because they are fucking awesome musicians and seem to be in it for the artistic value. i can see the five of them playing damnation in their garage if the label wouldn't have had any of it.

tangent: i was listening to Alison Krauss and Union Station the other day and was sorely dissapointed to see that they didn't write a single one of their songs. Great musicians (Krauss's vocals are stunning) but is there integrity in that?


I know, everyone associated with Opeth is incredible. In their DVD, when Mikael is doing vocals, Steve Wilson sit's down with an acoustic and pull's a beautiful solo out of his ass. I can't imagine where so much inspiration come's from.
 
Damnation, no question. I get bored with deliverence really easilly, the whole thing feels choppy, and some of the riffs aren't up to standard. I skip around a lot when I do listen to it, because it was some great moments. Damnation on the other hands is one of the best albums IMO.
