Deliverance vs. Ghost Reveries.

[Larsson]

Deliverance is a true album, while GR is more like a collection of individual songs.

Thats exactly what im thinking about Deliverence.

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Ghost Reveries.

 

[Blackened Rainbow]

gr

 

[FuneralPortrait]

I love both. I prefer both GR and Deliverance to Morningrise and Orchid.

And though I don't care for TGC, Isolation Years is in my top 10 opeth tracks.

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

Deliverance does not have weak songs, but GR does.
So I voted for Deliverance.

 

[Jon Snow]

Ghost Reveries...easily.

 

[metal_wrath]

True, I don't think anyone can argue that. Forced or not however, GR is just inferior.

I would argue that Damnation is the only forced album Opeth have ever done. True fact, IMO....

 

[Allfader]

Posterity will say Deliverance, but GR is new and commercial so it will win.

too commercial

deliverance is the best so far.........GR really sucks .. and BWP sucks except lepper affinity and harvest

Go back to the Borknagar forum, Opeth basher.

.....because....it's not a metal album?

Because they were not going to do the album at fist and eventually realized they had a lot of material for an acoustic album and thus recorded it to compliment Deliverance.

if the parts came naturally...i dont see how its forced. that just makes deliverance seem forced because he was trying to hold back what was normally a common element of Opeth albums/songs.

How does that explain 'For Absent Friends' instrumental or the acoustic parts in the title track.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

errr Ghost reveries shits all over Deliverance...

[Thorg]

Deliverance has the best song on it aka self titled but Ghost Reveries is great all round. However Deliverance has AFJ. Oh goddam it now im confused

GR

 

[AI]

I'll go with Deliverance. For me it's the best Opeth album as far as drumming is concerned. It has a few moments that make me shiver + it's more coherent.

 

[Alex78]

GR wins, because Wreath and BTPISIO are relatively weak tracks...and TGC isn't so bad in my opinion! although I found parts of GR feeling too "light"

 

[Pethical]

I disagree, i enjoyed Deliverance more on a whole than i did GR, even though both are exceptional, of course.
