In Deliverance (the song). All heavy in the beginning, then gets soft. Right there. It's like Holy shit.

To Bid You Farewell: "Why can't you see that I try" - not really a favourite moment. But I allways get a kick out of the lisping at that part. :Spin:
The Moor: When the first hard part kicks in. More spesific, the wonderful blend between distorted electric guitars and acoustics. Love it.
Wreath: At 1:45 when the melodic part kicks in, and at 2:45 when it changes. I especially love how the bass/drums work together here.
"Pale, covered me with sweat" - I love how "sweat" echoes here.
The Leper Affinity: The part that starts at 3:20. Again, as with Wreath because of the bass/drums.

april ethereal -- probably my favorite opeth song, so i like every second of it..but fav. parts are probably "twas a token of ebony colorrrrr!" and the cymbal work that follows. and of course, "the rain was waving goodbye!" fucking incredible section.
when -- can't pick a part, love the whole thing.
amen corner -- the amazing acoustic middle section flowing into "it was the only task i would...undertake"
leper affinity -- 2:00 to 4:45, kick ass riffing, kick ass solo, more kickass riffs, and that incredible melodic part. LOVE it.
dotf -- the full song. i hope opeth keeps this as their encore. it's the perfect track.
epilogue -- : orgasm: need i say more?
a fair judgement -- the fingerpicking part before the solos, and then the great solos, and the awesome outro. powerful song.
btpisio -- "RISE TO SUBMISSION!!"
drapery falls -- the last 3 minutes of that song are really fuckin good. i love how mike goes from soft vox/guitar to death vox/distorted guitar with NO problem, and sounds awesome. some really good riffs in the last 3 min too.
advent -- the first acoustic break, followed by the cool bass part, and then some more cool guitaring. i really like the "we are almost there" line, but then you expect something hectic to happen again soon..but it doesn't, just acoustics :\
nectar -- the very end part, where it transitions from acoustics into that cool ass distorted riff, from left field.
windowpane -- solo
closure -- whole song. very cool track.
white cluster -- 3:45 to 7:15. owwwwwnage.
spd -- 5:30 to 7:00, which includes the angry part "each and everyone would die at my hands, etc" and the solo.
godheads -- "what would they care..."
the moor -- whole thing, pure opeth.
i was about to name my fav parts from orchid, when i realized that nearly every moment is incredible, and memorable, so..i'll suffice it to say, orchid is a very, very good album.
good thread, OP.

well lets see here, im not going to go in any specific order here, or go by album 
-Black Rose Immortal-
In my honest opinion, the whole fucken song is great. I know alot of people cant handle the 20 minutes, but it has some great guitar work, especially the acoustic guitars at around 10 minutes, and the distortion just after
-When-
This was actually the 3rd opeth song i ever heard, and i loved the solo. i had to learn how to play it as soon as i heard it. and the effect on the guitar in the intro, very haunting.
-Dirge for november-
This song was my favourite for a long time. the outro is simply one of the saddest melodies ive heard....brilliant.
-The Moor-
Vocals in this song are perfect, especially the clean vocals in the midsection.
-Godheads Lament-
This is my favourite song to play on my guitar....when im playing it, the part just after he sings "no one should know, ooooh ohhhhh" for the last time, and the distortion kicks in again, i get goosebumps everytime, perfect riff.
-Demon Of The Fall-
Favourite of mine simply because its the first opeth song i ever heard, at a mates house. started the addiction.
-To Bid You Farewell-
You all know what im talking about
-Face of Melinda-
Beautiful peice of music, mikes voice is so dynamic its incredible.
-Drapery Falls-
I remember seeing an instructional video on a few websites with mike and the boys teaching you how to play this song, they make it seem so effortless.
I could go on and on and on, ill save you from the babble

the "failure inside" part in drapery. It sounds so brutal right after the "poofy" (as mikael says) beginning half.

Yeah closure has so many kickass parts. Hell, the very first seconds are awesome. The way that the vocals start almost immedietly really adds something nice... but my absolute favorite part has got to be the whole "in the rays of the sun..." bit. Goddamn that's some fine songwriting.
Jesus, I almost forgot about the instrumental ending! It gives such a cool Latin vibe, but still stays within the borders of Opethland.

just watched the dvd, and the bit from "leave it be was meant for me" to the end of the song of A Fair Judgement, is sexual, infact the whole song is, best thing to come from Deliverance

The part at the end of the BWP solo where mike holds the last note for a couple of bars then ripps back into the riff.
I think that riff just sounds different at the end because of where it is placed... After the double kick burst heavy riff when the feedback hits and the acoustic guitar starts the whole thing sounds alot more 'bombastic' (is that a word??!!).
It just brings the song full circle again, and the bass part adds a certain feel which is awesome
(im talking about Drapery Falls again btw lol)
