I'm in my vehicle a good 12 hrs a week so I get a lot of listening time there...I have a mp3 compilation with GR, BWP, Deliverence, and Damnation on it along with PT's Deadwing and In Absentia and I get the most excited when GR hits the queue closely followed by BWP and Damnation...
I think the production values on GR are by far the best and it like night and day when a/bed with an earlier album like Morningrise...esp on the heavier passages.
I'm not a hard-core connoisseur of all things metal, however since visiting this forum, I've discovered some that I like and a lot that I don't...but the thing I find re Opeth is that there's really no other band that comes up with the refreshing new take on guitar composition the way Mikael and Opeth does..take the intro to The Moor as a prime example...that riff is uber cool and thankfully their catalogue is strewn with these little gems...I don't know how Mikael comes up with these...but he really seems to have a knack for it.
I've been on an obsessive search trying to find any other bands that could surpass Opeth as far as composing similarly good shit...and while I've discovered some pretty cool stuff...none yet have had the mojo that opeth has....
