Favorite Opeth Ballad **UPDATE**

[Francisco.]

easy for me .. a fair judgement

 

[BefriendedUnit]

TBYF isn't that good.

Haha, I can't vote, I keep going back and forth between them all! Such amazing pieces, every single one of them.

 

[baarg]

burden is their own ballad together with maybe isolation years.

Obvious choice for me, Burden. Its much more epic and much more ballad-like than isolation years is, isolation is arguably a better song but not in terms of "ballad"

EDIT: There is a significant difference between ballad and "mellow" heh.

that's what I said in the other post re the same topic. The only song I consider a ballad is burden anyway, none of the others (maybe isolation years) is a ballad but mellow songs.

 

[Wander]

I don't have a favourite out of those. Good songs.

 

[L0bster]

Voted Face of Melinda last time around, but I think Isolation Years takes the cake now, had another listen, god that song is great.

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

Awfully hard decision, it's a very close call between face and credence. Went with credence.

I haven't even heard them all, but Hours of Wealth is my definate favorite of the ones I know.

 

[anus slayer ov the dogs]

A Lair Fudgeman for me

 

[Klämrisk]

I...ONCE UPON A TIIIIIIME....carried a burden inside

fucking great song!

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

All the Opeth acoustic songs from the pre and post Blackwater Park sessions are mind boggling.

 

[billydheyhey]

I'm among the minority, but my personal favorite Opeth ballad is Hours of Wealth. The song has a beautiful flow to it, and the solo is amazing.

 

[hexwind]

Burden is one of the best songs i eve heard in my LIFE !!!!OMG

 

[Opethian Samurai]

Burden by far is a great pick , but Harvest is yet also awesome with its haunting, mysterious undertones. Just too close to call.

 

[Echolipse]

This was a tough choice between To bid you farewell, Patterns in the Ivory II, Hours of Wealth, A Fair Judgement, and Isolation years.

I admit though, I haven't listened to Burden enough to vote on it.

 

[RudessSolo]

Hours Of Wealth

 

[Drd77]

That's an EXTREMELY hard choice. I voted for Isolation Years.

 

[Jester-Race]

A FAIR JUDGEMENT.

 

[salient]

Good relative "Opeth" particular structure of autumnal ballads, more like sometimes like for me heavy doomish death/progressive their tracks.

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

A Fair Judgement is probably my favourite Opeth song, at least top 3.

How is it a ballad?
